Not even the FLDS is claiming the "testing" for sexual abuse you say happened. They threw hissy fits about the DNA. One would think they would be shouting from the rooftops if a more invasive procedure actually happened.

In the letter, obtained by the Associated Press, the mothers claim that their children became sick and required hospitalization. They wrote "Our innocent children are continually being questioned on things they know nothing about. The physical examinations were horrifying to the children. The exposure to these conditions is traumatizing." FLDS and mental health workers complained about subjecting children to interrogation sessions, invasive physical examinations, pregnancy tests and complete body x-rays of their children.

They did scream, they called the invasive physical examinations horrifying. You are just turning a deaf ear Alice. I hope you can sleep at night.

The timeline at http://www.captivefldschildren.org/TimeLine.php also talks about the physical examinations, but for some reason I can't grab the complete excerpts : (

I find it more than ironic and hypocritical that those *mothers* were complaining about the *horrifying* events and what the children were subjected to in medical exams but not complaining about the events that resulted in the broken bones and teen pregnancies to begin with.

The adults associated with the FLDS have lied so consistently and deliberately that at this point, it's like the boy who cried *Wolf*. I don't believe them. They haven't given any one any reason to.

People engaged in pedophilia, rape of underage girls, tossing their own boys on the streets when they become competition, abuse of babies through waterboarding, complaining about sexual abuse just doesn't ring true.

If underage girls weren't pregnant, there wouldn't be the need to do a non-invasive pregnancy test. If children didn't have obvious, visually observable indicators of broken bones, there would be no need to do xrays to determine the extent of the injuries.

The FLDSers brought this on themselves by violating the laws of the state and allowing this horrendous abuse of children to continue unabated. They have no one to blame but themselves.
