So by her own admission she ‘wasn’t forced into a marriage with an older man against her will’.
Legally, her consent is irrelevant. It's called statutory rape. And if it is a polygamous "marriage", it's not a legal marriage, therefore there is no consent to be given by the parents of the minor. String the perp up with Warren, maybe they will get married to each other. Who knows?
Figures.
One of the few
I've been trying to do that..thanks for the reminder.
DITTO!
I was just going over the Bishop’s List. There were less than 200 hundred children listed as living at R17 (YFZ Ranch) in March 2007. I wonder where the other 250+ kids came from — they all couldn’t be new infants. Where are their parents?

And, is this why the Judge would not just give those kids to whomever "claimed" to be parents?
BTW, are you able to compile a chart that makes more sense than trying to read that pdf file?
Dang, when I try to reply I get “requested document not on this server.” FR’s having trouble today!
“So by her own admission she ‘wasn’t forced into a marriage with an older man against her will’.”
Ahhh, but someone forced into “working on a wedding dress.”
In other words, she was beig conditioned for the command, whether it came or not.
Nice try.
Google “Winslow, -Ben and FLDS” and see how many hits you get. Is this guy a member or sympathetic Mormon?
“Coward Shurtleff who hasn’t the nerve to enforce the law in Utah “
Because his career would end immediately, if he did.
;) What is principle when your career is at stake, eh?
Yep, and Syphilis kept that incarceration from being the slap on the hand it might have been, since there wasn’t an effective treatment for it. He was going to die anyway, and that way he got to wallow in his pain rather than distracting himself and infecting other people.
Well, about 100 of them are 2 & under...so 50 of them were probably born in the past year.
Other than that, it was probably "Here come the brides."
Um, because it is true? Perhaps the welfare is not outright fraud, but these women are not really married and can qualify for aid...the men produce numerous children and then "bleed the beast" to provide for them. It is an insult to taxpayers who are responsible and support their own children.
And the abuse? Read Carolyn Jessup's book if you don't believe those kids are abused.
Fortunately, Texas is not giving the FLDS abusers a chance to flee with abused children in tow. That’s exactly what Utah and Arizona did.
They have been continually bringing new families to YFZ, as construction and thus available housing progressed. And I wouldn’t be surprised if records showing wives under age 16 weren’t squirreled away in a safer place.
she didn’t leave until she was 18...
