Polygamy is illegal. Whether they actually physically or sexually abused the kids or not, they did emotionally abuse them through their illegal cult.

That in itself is enough to take the kids away.

Who said their 'cult' was illegal? One man's cult is another's religion. What state law says their religion is illegal?

Where is the evidence that the women/men had more than one marriage license? There is none. Being married 'legally' to more than one person is the technical definition of polygamy.

Merely having children with multiple women and calling them your wife, ho, baby-mommy, mistress, friend with benefits, etc does not count as polygamy. You need multiple marriage certificates.

Otherwise, about a 1/3 of the women/men with children by multiple partners could lose their kids as well for 'abuse'.

Hmmm “illegal cult”?

Based on your assumptions then I think they ought to be going after every religious organization in the country then that teaches the Bible, Koran or Torah - or for that matter anything else. Confucianism, Wiccans, and pretty much any other religion that teaches a ‘deity’ - and sets down laws then.

How about going after Islam, since it is a cult in and of itself?

How about going after MADD? Liberals? Conservatives with guns and bibles?

Give it a rest. It is an accusation that they are polygamists in the first place and it might be true, but until there are court cases then basically, you’re ALL WRONG about this. If they are PROVED in a court of law as having broken the law, then they can be called polygamists.

The point here is very simple... you believe it to be wrong (as do I) - but at the same time, they have a RIGHT TO THEIR RELIGION. GOT THAT? When they break a law, then try them in court and stop being the psychoanalyst and trying to say “it hurts the children”. That’s the “Liberal way out” of an argument (It’s for the children!).

illegal cult

The members may do illegal things but tell me where being a member of the FLDS or any church for that matter is illegal.

Right. Nifong the hell out of 'em.
