No, the fumarase deficiency syndrome is the form of inbreeding-related retardation you’ve heard about. Those kids rarely even advance to the point of sitting up or crawling. They are certainly not driving tractors, or even helping set the table for dinner. They lie in cribs and get fed and get their diapers changed, and that’s about it for their lives.
Thanks. Another poster made much the same comment. I was just proposing it, so we could examine the question, and eliminate it if needed.
A common ‘lawyer’ technique (no, I’m not) is to present allegations of the prosecutor, and then destroy them.
Once addressed that way, the jury is less likely to let their mind get carried away later when the prosecutor throws down.
“They lie in cribs and get fed and get their diapers changed, and that’s about it for their lives.”
So, with the FLDS members having the highest rate of fumerase deficiency, compared to similar populations, where are all the retarded kids?
Are the retarded kids (boys?) considered damaged?
It would seem they allow a certain amount of retardation in the women. Wonder what they do with the extremes in the females? Same thing as the boys?
Rumors abound about baby graveyards, around the other FLDS compounds in CO,UTAH,AZ. No proof yet.
But Warren Jeffs did pay to have an incinerator installed for his temple.
Other than burning trash, which may be a necessity for a group that allows no outsiders, it could also be a convenient method for disposing of just about ‘anything’.
