“The 16-year-old girl who triggered the initial complaint has yet to be found, though authorities believe she may be among the more than 400 children from the compound that Texas child welfare officials took into state custody this week.

According to court papers also made public Wednesday, the frightened girl called a family shelter March 29 and said she was the child bride of a 50-year-old man named Dale Barlow who “hits her and hurts her.”

She claimed that she had given birth to his child eight months earlier at age 15 and was pregnant again. She also claimed that if anyone learned she was making the call, she would be locked in a room without food “for her disobedience.”"

- The asshole church claims that they have some extra “rights”.

“In a hearing in the city of San Angelo, a phalanx of FLDS attorneys — including lawyers who represented the sect’s self-styled prophet, Warren Jeffs, in a Utah sex abuse case last year — argued that they had a right to review computer hard drives, documents and other evidence seized.

“The church has rights. Entry to the church is a sacred area,” said Gerald H. Goldstein, an attorney for church elder Lyle Jeffs. He argued that seized texts and genealogies considered holy by the FLDS should not become part of any court cases if they don’t directly relate to crimes.”

What the hell is “a sacred area”?

However, i think they should be put in prison seperated and then they will know what its like to be someone's BITCH!

But how we're they gotten they're first? I know some are family members, but are they all or is the church "recruiting" women?<br /> <br /> Also, where are the young men? I know that some cults banish younger men to reduce competition for the older men, so are there a bunch of homeless 20-somethings out there because of this? If they still hold the same religous views as the cult they came from, we could be looking at this again. So the young girls were forced into sexual slavery. But how we’re they gotten they’re first?

But I do question this quote:

Can someone enlighten me as to how male and female hair differs?
