Comments on: Polygamy Sect Mom's Newborn In Custody

Teen Mother's Second Son, Born This Week, Is In The Custody Of The State

[susanhelit]

The child is still with it''s mother - this is legal housekeeping. Since the mother is a ward of the state, so is the child.

Jeffs nephew could only do a civil suit - the statute of limitations allows a pedophile to rape a child when they are young, and so long as the parents don''t press charges, by the time the child is grown, they can no longer press criminal charges. That is what happened here - and in so many other cases.

Oh - and, yes, the FLDS underage pregnancy rate is 58% for these kids, and when you take a look at the statistics given for the underage pregnancy rate of children in foster homes - it''s 1%. If you think about any high school, that shouldn''t shock you that much - while some girls have to drop out due to pregnancy, it''s not anywhere near a quarter, a tenth, let alone FLDSs rate of over half of them!


The mothers were allowed to stay with the kids. When allowed to do so - instead of trying to help the children, to take this chance - they impeded the investigation, told the children to lie, swapped kids to prevent investigators from knowing who was the mother of which children - sad to say, but the mothers clearly showed themselves to be part of the problem, part of the abuse.

I have a daughter. If I ever become so lost, so brainwashed, so beat down as to take her to live somewhere where she will be given to be a *** toy to an older man when she is still a child herself - please, please, PLEASE take my child away from me, protect her if I fail to. No matter how much my brainwashed self cries and lies.

Religion, and not bothering the rest of us does not make raping underage girls OK. Simple as that. Our laws regarding freedom of religion do not amount to a blank check to ignore laws - quite the opposite - it means that all people are treated equally under the law, no matter what their religion. A pedophile is a pedophile, even if he claims divine inspiration is behind locking girls in a compound and forcing them to have *** with older men.

The newborn WAS NOT taken away from the mother. This order was just a form of legal housekeeping. The mother, a minor is a ward of the state. Her newborn had been a de facto ward since birth. This order basically just officially added the newborn to the list of children.

One other thing, these children are not placed with foster families. They are in group home settings so that they can have familiar people around them. Some siblings may have been split up, since the women have rearranged their families claiming different children at different times. They''ve lied about their names and ages and have resisted efforts to keep track of their identities.

The child mothers are victims, but the adult mothers go along with the abuse of their daughters. Somehow about 2/3 of the boys disappear at puberty. What happens to them?

agree with most of what''''s happened to these teenagers and young children. however, this little newborn boy should be with his mother, no matter what her age is. she and her baby should be placed with the state - but together. this is so sad.

Me thinks that this group has been living this way for many-many years. They live in peace and do not bother the rest of us, EXCEPT for their religious practices.

Thought there was Freedom for Religion in the USA and as this group have been around for over 150 years the nthe USA should leave them alone.

Oh! yea... We can not bother the Islam Terrorist religious buildings in the US but we attack the peaceful (non-Islam) ones without mercy

I thought your point has been that abuse of children is criminal (of which I agree). Why do you bring up Jeff''s nephew winning a civil suit? Should not that have been criminal, and they could have stopped this alleged abuse earlier. I hope you are not making a stand on this one.

THE PEOPLE IN THE MORMON CHURCH HAVE NOT CHANGED THEIR WAS OF THINKING SINCE DAY ONE. MANY OF THEM STILL LIVE WITH MORE THAN ONE WIFE. IN THE EYES OF THE CHURCH THEY ARE MARRIED, BUT NOT IN THE EYES OF THE LAW. THEY CAN LIE ALL THEY WANT. BUT IT JUST KEEPS GOING ON. BACK IN THE 1800''s THESE CHURCH PEOPLE WERE CHASED OUT OF SEVERAL STATES AND AFTER A WHILE THEY STOPPED IN UTAH. IN THE MIDDLE OF A DESERT WHERE THEY THRIVED. THEY EVEN TRIED TO GET THE STATE NAMED AFTER THE CHURCH. BUT, THEY DID NOT GET THEIR WAY. IT WAS NAMED AFTER THE UTE INDIANS. SO, SINCE THEY LIVED IN THE MIDDLE OF A DESERT, THE UNITED STATES LET THEM ALONE TO CONTINUE THEIR CULT LIFE STYLE. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN RUN INTO THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

So are they going to take custody of the City of Detroit? Seems like it''s in worse shape than this group and no one seems to care.
