well the facts are....my family & I obey the law, my husband only has one wife.& my kids are not abbused, nor will my daughter be gettin married in her young age!!! I understand what you are saying but MY opion is these kids need to be in a inviorment that show what is right & wrong & one that protects them from dirty old men! its so wrong on so many levels how these people are living, ya know if they want to have more than one spouse, go for it,but do it with out having children. young girls getting married and being forced at that.... its grose. then theres the young boys gettin sexually abused come on, thats no inviorment for children to be in, they need to be safe, to me thats not safe. yeah these ladies having gardens taking care of the house thats fine, but the poor kids who is going to protect them?????? my concern again is for the kids!!!!!

The handling of this case seems ridiculous.

Yes, and the longer it goes on, the more ridiculous it seems to be getting. I have agreed that something needed to be done, but taking a newborn away from its mother cannot possibly be the solution.

We haven''t heard any more about the 350 lawyers who went to Texas to advocate on behalf of the rights of the FLDS. What happened? Did they get bored and go away? They didn''t get the publicity they wanted? I hope there are still some there working on behalf of the mothers and children.

So, the child was forced into an early marriage, impregnated, and now that she has delivered, her baby boy has been snatched from her and taken into state custody.

I really don''t see the point of taking this mother''s newborn away from her. Neither one of these people committed a crime. It''s the father they''re investigating. They''re separating the mothers and their babies while the men, the suspects, are going about their daily lives. The handling of this case seems ridiculous.

I betcha that a bunch get lost in the system. My heart really goes out to these young mothers who along with every thing else they have been forced to endure, have now lost their children.

I can''t imagine if either of my children had been taken away from me after delivery. Since this young mother is also going to foster care, why can''t she take care of her own baby? I hope the judge who signed this order must endure the loss of a family member and soon.

SUPPOSE THE STATE STEPPED IN TO TAKE YOUR CHILDREN- THEY SIMPLY DID NOT AGREE WITH THE WAY YOU LIVE AND RAISE THEM. YOU WERE IN THE WRONG CHURCH AS WELL.

WHAT WOULD YOU/COULD YOU DO?

amazing how opinions set people off. yes I do believe these kids would be better off in a differant family setting than being married off at these young ages, and forced to have *** with these grose old men. I know I wouldnt want my daughter to be forced to get married at such a young age, how grose. and there are good families out there that DONT ABBUSE THERE ADOPTED KIDS, get a fricking clue momjackson

This has been their way of life for many, many years. Now the STATE steps in and kidnaps the children.
