Re: Kids In Sect Suffered Neglect, Abuse

It amazes me, the case was dropped due to insufficient evidence and the media is still pounding them!

Re: Kids In Sect Suffered Neglect, Abuse

After reading a couple of books by women who left there, I hope they can do *something*. Sadly, I don't know that there is anything they can do, unless the girls are married underage. Escape by Carolyn Jessop is one and Stolen Innocence by Elissa Wall is another. They forced Elissa to marry at age 14. She is why Warren Jeffs is in prison. Halleluiah!!
