Let's , for now, just talk about those that aren't mentally challenged. I hear that, well they were allowing abuse..but they were victims too. Yeah but were the guys also? As you say...each must be looked at separately but probation with supervision of present and future children might not really be a punishment for those that are able to change. Any of these woman or men that are convicted of abuse and has no intention of changing needs to go to jail though, IMO.

I believe the adult women are probably guilty. After a certain age - and I’m not sure what that age is, but at least by 35 or so - we should be mature enough and have empathy enough to realize when injustice is being done. Not protecting your own daughter should be a crime. Would we forgive the mothers, grandmothers, and aunts who circumcise Muslim daughters, taking the clitoris and sewing the foreshortened labia closed?

My worry is whether the FLDS will go after the women who have returned to the cult compound. Will they start disappearing?
