Yet another religious cult raided

[kandrathe]

Can you expect a certain new york father to abuse his children? No not any more likely than any other normal person on this planet. Of course it happens, and I can not say that 100% of these children were abused but we are talking about a whole different ballpark of % chance here.

Ok, now explain how this is different than the Native American communities on reservations where the incidence of abuse is consistently higher. Explain how it is different than immigrant communities where the traditions allow for arranged marriage at age 12, and impregnation by age 14 where the incidence of abuse is consistently higher. Look at how Islamic communities are even allowed/arguing to practice Sharia law in some family disputes, rather than submit to the law of the land, e.g. Ontario, Netherlands. Are you not imposing your modern "western" values upon them? Even your comments about "dirty old men" betrays that you are making a values judgment, rather than a legal judgment. Are you not being either equally ethnically insensitive, or unreasonably emotionally inconsistent here? Is it OK to ignore "abuse" in Laotian, and Native American tradition, but now prosecute it in FLDS tradition?
