The lesser of two evils...

Last week's Texas raid of a FDLS sect compound is old news now, but the controversy surrounding the removal of hundreds of children from the communal-style ranch keeps heating up. In this weeks issue of People Magazine, viewpoints from both sides are heard and not suprisingly, there are critics who say the government is interfering with religious freedoms in this situation,and that all the children are happy and certainly not abused.
They do not comment on the fact that authorities raided the compound after a 15 yr.old girl reported she was pregnant with her SECOND child, by a 50 yr. old man she was forced to marry and have intercourse with and that the former leader of the sect is none other than convicted sex offender Warren Jeffs. They speak of their love for their children, but they do mention the "lost boys", those young men ages 13 and up who are cast out of the inner circle of the sect so that the "elders" or older men can claim the barely-pubescent girls.
I empathize with the wives and mothers in the sect who have been separated from their children because they have been oppressed and programmed from birth to be subserviant and obedient to men. They simply do not know any other way. You can't sexually abuse children, not consenting adults but little girls,and then expect to be protected by the Constitution because you say it is "your religion".
By exercising their religious rights,the pedophiles are violating the rights of innocent, trusting children and since children cannot defend or protect themselves, someone has to. I am interested in what y'all think.....
