I'm glad we're seeing more and more documentation and facts unfold, as well as, witnesses who used to be a part of this sect. They interviewed one young man who was one of those ousted as a teen. He's speaking out. As are others who used to be a part of this.
They have several girls who want to leave the sect, and they have several girls who are pregnant, or have proof of underage births. When all of this information is gathered I think we're going to see that they really have no justification.
It's not 'religious freedoms' that are under question here. You can't call this religious persecution. It's far from it. Laws are laws. If you break them, no matter who you are or why you're breaking them, you should be punished.
In the interviews with the mothers, for all their tears and wailing, 'we want our children back', and 'we were LIED to', I find it ironic that they are being caught in their own lies.
When asked point blank, 'are there underage children being married in your sect', they state, 'not that they have seen'. Heelllooooo???
