It is for the best that it was broken up. But I agree that I think the state may have overstepped in the way it was done. Probably no good way to crack a cult though...
I also didn't like the way they put all the girls in Foster Homes after pulling them out of there. For most of the girls this was the only place they knew, for better or worse. Seems like it would have been better to drag all the adults out, at least the males, and bring a group of Counselors in until it could be sorted out.
Just didn't seem like it was very well thought out considering how long the cult had been there and how long the state was looking for an angle to break it up.
Well YFZ has over 1000 residents right now. No “break up”. Here is the travesty. If you drive to your nearest high school and demand the number of 17 year old (or younger) girls who were pregnant in the last 4 years , you will find 40 or 50 in that high school alone. Then demand the number of police reports for statutory rape on those cases and you will find “none”. This was about white Mormons — It was not on the complaint of the mothers. It was gross racial and religious discrimination. Can you imagine the pregnancies of 17 and under in your city?? Rape!! Rape!! Do something!!!
