What is this news story about?

Question

i saw the comercial on channel 7 news

like a big house in texas were they cought like 200 poeple like a cult with inbreeding and children getting married

Answer 1

fundamental Mormons...

the religious views of that particular group still believe in polygamy..

since it is illegal to practice polygamy in the US.. they use religious instead of legal marriages to tie the bonds..

they also apparently believe that at fifteen or sixteen a girl is old enough to decide for herself who should/shouldn't be her spouse.

________________________________-

that is the back ground.. 911 got a complaint supposedly from a 16 girl being forced into a marriage against her will..

they did no checking of facts or possibility of a false call.. instead they got warrants went in and seized all children removing them from the compound since they believe the conditions to be unsafe for the proper upbringing of children.

further investigation has revealed that the call came from a female not associated with the group who lives in Denver co. and has a history of false 911 calls.

now the Texas CPS system has 400+ children who's ages can't be determined <no birth certificates> and who's parentage is unknown... <they can't figure out which men fathered which children.. and since the children were communally raised by sisters .. they can't always tell which one was the mother.

the FLDS are saying it is a clear case of religious persecution they are following their believes

CPS says that any environment that allows a minor female to have s*x and get married is fundamentally unsafe..

mean while there are 400+ kids that the Texas child welfare and legal system can't handle stuck in it!

it is going to take years to get to the bottom of this and RIGHT will never be done.. .. so there you have a brief synopsis of a HUGE mess.
