Polygamist?

Question

how do you feel about the polygamist group that has been all over the news? Do you believe that the police did the right thing?

Answer 1

The police did the right thing of rescuing those poor children.  I bet those b******s abused those children everyday.  The kids must be traumatized.  I hope the criminals get the worst jail sentece possible.

VIVA LA RAZA!

Answer 2

I think that the police were right to take a claim of sexual abuse seriously.

Answer 3

Yes, the police did the right thing.All the adults in that sect are a bunch of perverts. They were just using the guise of religion to foster the sexual abuse of children.

Answer 4

It could very well be that there is something fishy going on there. But the article I read said that the whole thing began when a call came in to the police station from an allegedly 16 year old girl and that she has not yet been identified within the sect. It could have been a hoax or prank call for all they know. I think the police should have been able to conduct this investigation more professionally so that it wouldn't end up all over the news. They should have obtained and served the warrants on a smaller scale, more discreetly, and on an individual basis. It just seems too much like their whole little town is under siege there. It reeks of oppression on the part of the local government down there in TX. For all we know, most of the folks in the town, who seem to be very hard working citizens, probably had no part in any wrong-doing. Should they now all be torn from their homes while a city-wide investigation is going on? I agree, their beliefs are quite controversial, but we're supposed to have freedom of religion in the US. Their little group could be a shining example of that, but now it could end up a massacre of such freedoms. I could be wrong and it could turn out they're all a bunch of perverts, but judging by the modest clothes they wear, I kind of doubt it!

Answer 5

What a mess.  I hope all that were perverted in this matter are brought to justice.  I hope all the Mums will get re-educated and be able to be re-united with their children wherever possible.  

There was an older woman who escaped such a predicament and she said often the Mums were raised in this environment and did not even know they had any other choice.

I think most young gals would know this set up was wrong but if they are raised in it and educated in it how can they be expected to think for themselves?

I am just guessing but I think a possible angle on this would be collecting welfare for single Mums.  Just a hunch.

I will pray for the Mums and their children, I don't think they should have to bear too much of the blame.  

Where are the women's liberation group on this?  I should thnk they would be in there helping get this mess back to normal if there is any hope for that.

Answer 6

Yes...they did the right thing!  I think this so called religion is nothing more than a bunch of horny old men satisfying their lust...will you ever see a 49 yr old woman being married off to a 13 or 16 yr old boy?  What gets me is now that the law has put the smack down on this place all these dirty old men are saying it was their law and they had to.  You knew right from wrong...now you'll have to face up to what you have done.  It's just sick that girls as young as 13 were being married off the these old men and impregnated...sick sick sick...think I'll go throw up now

Answer 7

Of course this like child rape with a licence.

Answer 8

They did the right thing... even if that is your religion, it could be done more respectful... choose wives that are of age, not 14 and if they say no that should be respected, they grow up in that lifestyle and many don't realize it is wrong, but children should never be abused.

Answer 9

while I am not against men being married to more than one woman (or a woman married to multiple men) I don't like the controlling element and age range of the women involved in this particular group.
