Read the second comment down after the article.

April 21, 2008 CBS Morning Show
Three male members of the sect said in an interview aired on CBS’s “Early Show” Monday that they would cooperate in DNA testing if it would help them get the children back.

“Whatever we need to do to get them back in their peaceful homes,” a man identified only as Rulan said.

State prosecutors have argued that the FLDS church encourages underage marriages and births, subjecting children to sexual abuse or the imminent risk of abuse. “Rulan” said sect members are reconsidering whether girls under 18 should have sex with adult men.

“Many of us perhaps were not even aware of such a law,” he said. “And we do reconsider, yes. We teach our children to abide the law.”

So there it is, folks.

Perhaps I am somewhat convinced to a certain extent by that apparently, in a manner of speaking, mostly forthright expression of sorts, properly understood.

So to speak.

Ok and the women interviewed on TV are saying that underage marriage/sex doesn’t exist as far as they know. Every last one of them replied ‘Not that I’m aware of’. So which is it? They can’t even get their stories straight.

Pretty much a halfas+ admission of child abuse, but the rest is a crock, once a Pedophile aways a Pedophile.

Now where are the apologists for these perverts.

The sheriff said he personally went to the ranch when the law was changed and told them.

Here is the sad part to all of this.

A majority of the people at the FLDS compound, may not even be involved in any child abuse.

It is supposedly the LOYAL INNER CIRCLE that gets the high volume of wives, and ‘selected’ child brides.

Hopefully, in the end, the guilty will get punished, and the not guilty will be allowed to restart their lives, and their religious practices.
