Probably over 90 percent of the injuries are forearm fractures from ground-level...falls," Barlow said."

(Versus dropping them from the 2nd or 3rd stories of the dorms)

Four years wasn’t long enough for you.

That is interesting since news accounts state the kids can not identify their own moms in many cases - so who are they returned to?

[MizSterious]

Yes, but these kids don’t get to ride bikes or skateboards, or play at all, from all I’ve read. They don’t rough-house, they don’t play sports, and if you’ve seen pictures of the ranch, they’re not likely to climb trees, either.

Wonder what kind of document that is? Maybe an accidental thing, ingested a garden product or something. I noted that many of the women look pretty hefty but not the kids. And kids of an age put darn near anything in their mouths.

[MizSterious]

Thanks, deport. Maybe not that serious, but after seeing the documentary on WE the other night, it still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand straight up.

I would say 14 and 15 years who are pregnant or have given birth are _ FIRE!

From the article @ post #11: [Thank you so much MizSterious for posting this!!!]:

After reading the following graph, my mind shouted, "BINGO!!!!!"

Yet, many have argued there was a violation of due process as though the authorities are required to be intentionally ignorant about the communities within their jurisdiction. FLDS lawyers have been floating to the press and public the bizarre notion that authorities were required to enter the compound with a mental blank slate, as though they knew absolutely nothing about the FLDS. It is a position that defies common sense. While authorities need probable cause for a particular raid, they do not have to act stupid once they are inside a criminal organization, whether it is a religious group, the mob, or a drug cartel. Indeed, it is law enforcement's obligation to be informed about likely criminal conduct in their jurisdiction. That includes orchestrated child abuse.

(Oh, I'm sure it was from their intramural football league, El Dorado Poly Gamy Tech vs. Hildale Poly Gamy Tech, Colorado City Poly Gamy Tech, Bountiful Poly Gamy Tech, Pinesdale Poly Gamy Tech, etc.) /sarc off

Copies of the warrants were released Friday. The list of records also refers to a “cyanide poisoning page from a first-aid manual, but offers no other explanation.

In the WE Network documentary the other night, they also said that even HUGGING children is frowned upon. What a nightmare life those kids led.

[MizSterious]

I wonder if it was paperclipped to a grape Kool-Aid recipe...

My father is a hard man. I remember being so upset & crying over Jones Town. He got angry with me & said there will always be stupid people. People who follow other people & can not think for themselves. We are better off without them. I thought that was so mean & awful. Maybe he got hard from World War Two, I don't know. But he had & has no feelings for people who refuse to think for themselves.

“After the earlier leaks from the CPS “

What were the leaks? Is there someone from the inside “leaking” information?

[deport]

Nah, I think they are going to get them for tax evasion.

Yep that is one possiblility.....

[MizSterious]

That’s ONE of the many portions of post #11 that hit home for me, too. Not just fLDS lawyers, but it’s an argument that many freepers have tried to put forth, too (along with several other equally silly ones). Y’don’t suppose some of these folks here get talking points from fLDS? ;)
