It’s absolutely sickening that Texas is returning these children to that environment. These kids and women have been brainwashed into believing that women are nothing more than breeding machines.
Whether or not it’s been proven that these people have sexually abused their children, they still should not be allowed to expose children to cult life. It’s an unhealthy situation for children especially, and not exactly healthy for adults, either. All the evidence needed to remove these children from their ‘parents’ is that their ‘parents’ belong to a cult that lives in an isolated community with strict orders not to speak to ‘outsiders’. They’ve been brainwashed into beliveing that it’s not just okay, but right, for a girl as young as thirteen or fourteen to ‘marry’ a man old enough to be her father, then spend the rest of her life giving birth until she can no longer conceive.
I have an uncle whose wife and five children belong to a cult (not FLDS), and it’s been tearing my family apart. My uncle no longer has contact with the rest of the family, because, apparently, ‘god’ told their cult leader that all we wanted to do was convert him to satanism or some such thing. My five cousins will never lead lives where they have any personal control over themselves, and neither will their children when they have them, either.
This decision from the Texas court system makes me ashamed to live in this country.
