    well, first they ommitted prayers in schools, then put parents in prisons for diciplining their out of control children, then took the pledge of allegence out of schools, then attacked the Catholic Church, then built FEMA concentaration camps for people who believe in Jesus, then ommitted In God We Trust from money and the pledge of allegance from the public, took the US flag off of an airplane and now the Mormons have lost their children.

    Read Elissa Walls book “Stolen Innocence” before you comment, it will change your perceptive. It changed mine. Those people are being abused and brainwashed. Its really sad.

    Once again someone trying to make you look bad. Oh well you have your opinions, but if you think none of what I said is not happening your ignorant yourselves.

    Accidents happen are we going to throw all kids in state care who get pregnant at a young age? We can also blame schools, and media for exposing our kids to sex. I feel uncomfortable as a parent to have my children go to school, and learn about sex. That in my mind is abuse if these kids are not mature enough to handle these discussions, or feel bad about it. It can emotionally damage them. All the state cares about is the money they will recieve from all these children in the system.

    Kidnapping
    Under federal and state law, kidnapping is commonly defined as the taking of a person from one place to another against his or her will, or the confining of a person to a controlled space. Some kidnapping laws require that the taking or confining be for an unlawful purpose, such as extortion or the facilitation of a crime. A parent without legal custody rights may be charged with kidnapping for taking his or her own child, in certain circumstances.
    There is NO exemption for judges!

    I pray that “judge” Barbara Walther who APPROVED this kidnapping GOES TO PRISON FOR A LONG TIME. Kidnapping is a CAPITAL CRIME, there is no statute of limitations, and there is no judicial immunity:
    Section 1201. Kidnapping
    (a) Whoever unlawfully seizes, confines, inveigles, decoys,
    kidnaps, abducts, or carries away and holds for ransom or reward or
    otherwise any person, except

    Finally, I just hope it all works out and the government handles this better within the scope of real laws. And that these families have more knowledge about their own rights, in particular that young girls/boys would eventually come to have more choices about their own futures. Other than that, it has been beaten to death. I do pray for all concerned that there is a happy and positive outcome.

    Jeffs is in jail, but his half brother in his place taking on similar role. According to reports, Jeffs still controls all from jail, they will follow him to their death. It means nothing that he is in jail other than he is suffering and his people are suffering for him.
