I don't believe that what has (accusationally) been going on behind the closed doors of the ranch is "right", but I also don't believe in the way the state handled things to begin with. (No wonder people hate CPS- they will persecute anyone at the sake of their own idiocracy... Sure, CPS has it's good points, but so much of what I hear coming out of their "mouths" is garbage and speculation.) IMO, the State is completely wrong with HOW this is being handled. And, since some of you want to bring the Bible into this... how old was Mary when she gave birth to Christ? Hmmm... pretty sure she is reported to having been a teenager- married to an older man, Joseph. I'm not saying every teenager ought to be married off to an older man- but come on. Just because you don't agree with it- doesn't make someone who does a sicko. I'm a 29 year old married woman, mother of 4 by the way- not a- what was it you called it? Oh yeah- "a dirty old man salivating at the thought of a 14-year-old virgin bride". Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean you need to resort to the tactics of a 12 year old! My grandmother CHOSE to marry a 43 year old man when she was only 16... they had a wonderful life together. Who gets to say what is right, and what is wrong? Just you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-34450679504010425532008-04-10T11:22:00.000-05:002008-04-10T11:22:00.000-05:00I completely agree with the last anonymous post. ...I completely agree with the last anonymous post. Only a dirty old man would feel that it was okay to marry a 14 year old girl. We see too much perverse behavior in this world as it is and it is a shame that any person would condone it. It doesnt matter where a child lives, whether it is within a community or religious sect, it is illegal and immoral to have sexual relations with an underage child.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-33426026976137103862008-04-10T08:42:00.000-05:002008-04-10T08:42:00.000-05:00Anonymous @ 10:25 sounds like a dirty old man sali...Anonymous @ 10:25 sounds like a dirty old man salivating at the thought of a 14-year-old virgin bride. I think he has nothing to fear from the "lesbians" and "feminists" except prevention from getting his rocks off with a child. The sluts and whores comment smacks of misogyny. And for my final rail, you neglected to capitalize God, genius. <BR/><BR/>Moving on: while I am far from being reconciled with how this situation in El Dorado is being handled (far, far from it), I do think that underage girls (and boys) need protection from predators (yes, predators). If their families do not have the sense or are too brain washed to provide it, I feel the government has no choice but to do so. You can NEVER justify to me why an adult man, much less one in his 40s or 50s, sees the need to marry a teenage bride. It is sick and it is exploitative, religious freedom or not. The situation has me very confounded.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-51394310275729198022008-04-09T22:25:00.000-05:002008-04-09T22:25:00.000-05:00Smells like they're burning the witches again. not...Smells like they're burning the witches again. not to mention that it was legal in Utah for 14 yrs old to marry (with parental consent) until about 2 yrs ago when the lesbians, feminists and their enablers got attorney general mark "zeig heil" shurtleff to raise the age.<BR/> <BR/> oppressors always resort to making the religion of their enemies a crime. Isn't that what happened in babylon under nebachadnezer? weren't the jews almost exterminated because they refused to worhip the king ahead of god? note: the enemies of the jews had nebachadnezer enact a law requiring that only the king could be worshiped. it was the death penalty to worship god.<BR/> <BR/> if it was okay to marry a 14 year old two years ago then it is okay today--the only thing that has changed is that the lesbians and feminist managed to amend the marriage statute. well...it is time to amend it back.<BR/><BR/>and i'll bet none of those women have the LBT (low back tattoo) or are sluts or whores.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-38667856308490985882008-04-09T20:43:00.000-05:002008-04-09T20:43:00.000-05:00In light of this police-state assault on an entire...In light of this police-state assault on an entire community, perhaps it's time for the people to exercise their Second Amendment rights in the manner for which they were originally intended.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-19848778075254784972008-04-09T17:50:00.000-05:002008-04-09T17:50:00.000-05:00Does it really take CPS and hundreds of law enforc...Does it really take CPS and hundreds of law enforcement ten days to find a pregnant 16 year old girl in a very limited area?????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-3529735877595125932008-04-09T17:15:00.000-05:002008-04-09T17:15:00.000-05:00One of the maxims I operate on in family law is th...One of the maxims I operate on in family law is that "hell hath no fury like a social worker who thinks they're doing things in the best interests of the child."<BR/><BR/>Anytime I see mass hysteria, I begin to question things.Ron in Houstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496306119920809104noreply@blogger.com
