I'd guess most of them are mothers. This was one of the stipulations of Judge Walthers, in addition to her imposing traveling restrictions.
I've been puzzled as to how the FLDS parents can/will follow the guidelines of a standard parent class. Because of their belief system, they accept the behavior, the authority, of FLDS men---the very actions that we outside the cult call abuse and rape.
With their indoctrinated minds, it seems to me that standard parenting classes, teachings, will fall on their deaf ears.
I was reading somewhere that the classes are only 8 hours. It’s a start but it seems to me that it needs to be ongoing in order to give support and provide time for questions and feedback.
As for as the men..maybe not older men (and women) whose hearts are hardened, but the younger..learning how to be a better father can’t hurt.
