Thanks for the updates David…keep them coming. Some of the items U could see why they would take but others are a bit strange.

Please address the abuse and possible discard of young males in this situation?

None of the news is reporting the circumstances or whereabouts of all the young males not chosen to have multible wives!

I am afraid that this has to be another Horrible side to this so-called lifestyle.

Thank you.

David,

Thanks for the update. It does seem like the authorities cast a wide net and some of the items seem puzzling, but others like the cyanide poisoning document are a little scary. I wonder if they seized so much to justify the “imminent danger” and perhaps to prove welfare abuse. Perhaps there are more layers to this case than the obvious one of abuse and underage marriage.

In reviewing a partial list of the items seized by “authorities” in the recent “search” (read-raid) on the compound, I have to wonder what was the scope of the search “warrant” granted by the judge, and what were the “probable causes” proffered to the judge for each different class of item.

Although very, very little protection remains in America against unreasonable search and seizure, petitions for search warrants are usually required to be specific re what items are being sought and the probable cause for each.

I note some printed material pertaining to firearms was seized. Hopefully that material will not result in the unleashing of the ATF storm troops, thereby setting the stage for a replay of the Branch Davidian catastrophe in Waco.

Religious freedom? Right to privacy? Dream on . . . Welcome to Amerika.

Given that the “authorities” report being unable to identify or locate “Sarah,” the complaining witness whose “call for help” triggered and legitimized the raid, one ought to consider the possibility that no such Sarah exists or ever has existed. The mere claim that such a “call for help” appears to have been sufficient to mobilize the angels of mercy of the social service establishment and the (?) criminal justice system.

Such prosecutorial investigative misconduct is far from unknown in matters involving socially condemned behavior.

Congratulations for tonight’s informative, non-sensational, and FAIR segment on polygamy. Good job, Anderson!

Where are the older women? I do not see any older women in the photos you have shown.

Are the flds children Americans? Do they get birth certificates?

Has anyone wondered if this latest episode in the FLDS is simple a ploy by the FLDS to embarass and /or supress further prosecution by the Texas and Arizona legal systems.

Where are the child raping, women beating cowards they call men of the compound? Why are they sending programed women to do their talking? Educate in the public school system a generation of these women and children and see if they would choose that life.

It’s sad to read that people actually think the way they do, when they obviously do not want to acknowledge all of the circumstances that they have been reading for the past 50 years..
Firstly, talking those children out of those surroundings was an absoluate necessity, imagine having your 15 or 16 year old daughter sent off to LIVE with a man as old as 60 or 70 and for them to have sexual relations, it makes me sick to my stomach, let alone the thought that I abandomed my child is impossible for me to relate to. The other extreme is to have your son, at the early age of 14 sent out to live on his own, no one to protect him or even care if he is dead or alive it is unimaginable in this day and age. It is hard to believe that there is a God up there if these things take place.
