The Facts
53 of the girls taken from the polygamist compound in Texas are between ages 14 and 17. Of those, 31 are pregnant or have had children, so say Child Protective Services as reported in a Fox News article. Officials say there is a pattern of children being forced into marriage with older men, and that some girls as young as 13 may have had children.
My View
In one television interview, a 32 year old woman from the sect admitted that there was maybe one girl who had had a baby at the age of 16. The other women with her at the time did not confirm or deny that. So I guess its ok with God if they lie, huh? Why else would they lie about this if they didn’t think it was ok with God? Or maybe they just figured they would ask for God’s forgiveness later for lying.
There have been a lot of questions asked as to why none of the men have consented to an interview. I guess now we know the answer. Basically, they are cowards who have once again made the women face the public. As I said in an earlier post on this matter, for the men, the sect is nothing more than a justification for having as much sex as they can with as many women as they can, and the younger the better. Religious persuasion is used only as an excuse. No wonder they were so outraged by the taking of the children; they knew the truth was going to come out. I suspect that once all the children’s mothers are identified, we will find out that most of the now adult mothers were also “raped” when they were teenagers. Just another of the thousands of example’s of how God and religion is abused and misused by those with agenda’s other than just serving God. I wonder now how many of our other citizens will come out in defense of these people.

Kids are America’s most precious and most at-risk citizens. With drugs and peer pressure facing them on a daily basis, it’s no wonder that mental illness and drug abuse is at an all time high. Problems facing American children.
