In general, though, I agree that the government busybodies do wield too much power in similar cases. But then, in many of these religious communities, the leader tends to wield a hell of a lot more power. I often wonder how many of the people involved are truly there voluntarily, rather than being afraid to speak out against someone who controls their family.
Yes Sir, so we hear and read. But the pregnant 14 yo *could be* pregnant by 14, 15,16, yo too <shrugs>. How do we yet Know what the Truth of that Really is?

<nods> On the cult type Communities. Truly who Knows but those who Live there? Seems some of those who Live in this one are ok with it? Some perhaps not? Time will tell, it Always Always does. Also, if anyone involved wishes to "speak out", I think Now would be a good time.
