“Troopers armed with a search warrant raided the compound on Friday to look for evidence of a marriage between the girl and 50-year-old Dale Barlow.”

I guess this is one way to get inside information. They’re lucky they weren’t shot by the FLDS. Then it would have been another Waco! So very close, metmom. This is not how you investigate an alleged abuse case.

Meisner said investigators were still trying to determine whether the girl who called authorities last week was among the people removed from the compound. Many of the girls in the sect are related to one another and share similar names.

State troopers armed with a search warrant raided the compound on Friday to look for evidence of a marriage between the girl, who allegedly had a baby at 15, and 50-year-old Dale Barlow.

What would you suggest for investigating an alleged abuse case? They're using a search warrant. They need to ID the girl. I guess you're objecting to removing the women and children more than going in with a search warrant?

If these women and children aren't free to talk in front of the male without the threat of repercussions, then no useful information can be got.

I still can't help but wonder how many of them really objected to leaving but so far I haven't heard from any news sources. Yes, I have problems with them being forced to leave. If they left under their own free will, good for them. I'm glad they got out.
