Why is Carolyn's daughter's desire to return to the FLDS so surprising? When you are born and raised in a certain close society and not truly exposed to the negatives thereof, life elsewhere seems odd and more difficult to others. Thats the reason why so many who fall under this type of mind control don't get away from a setting that most believe is evil and wrong. I personally feel for Carolyn because she strikes me a beautiful person who only wants a good life for her daughter. But until her daughter makes that choice and "sees the light," she'll always feel our society is far more evil and difficult to live in than that farse of a religious sect called the FLDS.

wow....my heart goes out to Carolyn. I own her book.

Please, not again! Are you EVER going to drop this story?

The authorities in Texas have tried every way possible to pin something on this group – they can't. A few disgruntled women have written "shocking exposes" of their supposedly miserable lives within the FLDS. However, HUNDREDS of women are still living in the sect. They had the chance to leave when the Texas authorities raided the place last year – they didn't.... they stayed. If this is the way they want to live then, fine, let them. If kids were being mistreated, then CPS in Texas would've found something when they took all of the kids out. They didn't – the kids have been returned.

Lately the news has been filled with stories about "memoirs" people have written that turn out to be false. The holocaust memoir, the American Indian memoir, the East LA memoir, the drug addiction memoir..... all turned out to be lies. If Oprah can be conned (and she was – twice!), 360 can be conned too. If this book is not pure fiction, then I'm sure it is highly exaagerated.

Please don't waste any more time on this non-story.

Often, people that are taken from captivity into a life of freedom are so uncomfortable they "need" to go back for their sanity... or so they think. Sometimes, for some people, freedom is its own prison. Perhaps what Betty was really looking for was a more structured way of life.

I hope she reunities with Carolyn and her siblings one day.

I look forward to Gary's story tonight.

That was really nice of you to get that interview for Carolyn so she could see her daughter at least on tape. I hope she gets to see Betty in person some and that communications become more open between them. The FLDS want the rest of the world to understand and sympathize with their "plight" but if they ban communication with family members who chose a different life style then they won't get very far. A religion that keeps families away from each other is more of a cult than anything else.

This is completely ridiculous!!!!!

This Betty girl sure doesn't know what life's all about. I just hope that its not too late when she realizes that incredible mistake she has made, and she needs a way out urgently.
I can only imagine what Carolyn must be going through, knowing and her daughter is living the life that she with enormous effort escaped.
My thoughts and prayers are with them.
