....One of the children, a 10-year-old girl, told caseworkers she was moved from her mother’s home in Utah to the home of her uncle, Merrill Jessop and his wife Barbara. It was at least three years — not until after the government raid, that the girl finally saw her mother.
“(The girl) said that she misses her mother very much and when she asked her uncle Merrill Jessop about where her mother is living he has told her it was none of her business so she has just gotten to the point that she had stopped asking,” a caseworker wrote. The girl told CPS when she grows up she was to “be a good mother and have as many children as the ‘heavenly Father’ wants her to have.”
She also told CPS officials that Merrill Jessop “would make the decision as to when she would get married, at what age, and who she would marry,” according to an affidavit.

At 3:30 he gave Annette strict instructions "to not any more go to the dentist or in town to any known appointments". He instructed Wendell W.J. Neilsen and Seth Allred to take her to town twice a week to make a phone call to Mosiah.
At 9pm that night Jeff's gathered together his 56 wives who were living at R17 for retraining . . ."very strong, direct, fine-tuned training on the perfection of the love of God and being Zion".
Well, if they just had some complaints from some actual FLDS members, then I would believe them.
Well, if the crimes were true, they would have indicted someone by now.
Well, even though they were marrying underage girls, that doesn’t prove they had sex.
Well, Just because Warren,Merrill, Raymond, Rodney, Joe, Jim, Rulon, Henry, Felix, and the kitchen sink were found guilty of having sex with minors, it doesn’t mean there was a ‘pattern of abuse’.
Well... (I could go on, I’m having so much fun.)

This poor girl was separated from her mother for years.
And they whine and moan about 2 months.
