Children Removed From N.M. Apocalyptic Cult

[Jim]

Hi,

Points well taken.

"I guess ignorance IS bliss" YES IT IS and alot less Stressful.

ps: FYG, I know that Child Abuse is universal and has been around since Day One, I might be Ignorant but I'm Not Stupid.

Although, the last 12 decades were also Child Abuse decades where authorities suffered from moral cowardice. You have just now come to realize that young women have been married off to elder men in FLDS, and so now you have decided to be outraged and disgusted. I guess ignorance IS bliss. I hate to tell you this then Jim, young girls are abused in alarming numbers throughout the world. In fact, I think it is worse than it ever has been before.

It's probably too early to tell. And, it's not just LL members. :) Did you see my link to the Texas ACLU? This one in NM is definitely a weird case, but it doesn't seem to involve more than nakedness and what they describe as "holding". There seem to be direct specific allegations with evidence collected prior to the police action, so it seems to have been handled with proper warrants, and correctly from what I can tell. It's a good thing the State intervened now, before Wayne Bent moved into providing immaculate conceptions for the virgins.

It does makes me wonder about the nuances of this law. For example, how would the State deal with nudist colonies where adults and children run around naked together? There was a political candidate who was undone in Minnesota in 1990 because his adopted daughter used to have naked pool parties with her friends & dad. After he withdrew from the race for Governor, he was never investigated for the alleged crime. There seems to be a line here that could easily be crossed though where nakedness in private/public when it involves other people's children. There are some individuals who enjoy the liberty of being naked in public/private who could get into hot water.
