Here is a different thought on the specific alleged sexual grooming of the boys and girls.
There are a lot of teenage girls in the United States having sex. Out public school system teaches them to go ahead and have sex and here is the way to do it safely. Yes, as long as you are “mature”, you can choose to have sex with whomever you want and with as many as you want as long as they are not over 18 years old. Once the young woman reaches that magical age of 18, she can then have sex with gramps if she wants to. Furthermore, she needs not worry about getting pregnant because she can always get an abortion.
What does the FLDS teach their young women? That the greatest way to serve God is to become Mothers! Boys are taught that it is their duty to become fathers and support the mother(s) of their children and the children.
Hence, the FLDS are committing sexual abuse by teaching their girls that the highest honor a woman can achieve on earth is to become mothers and their boys to become fathers irregardless of the polygamy.
Meanwhile, those of us who are living and working outside of those FLDS compounds and have children are trying to teach morals too. However, the state is teaching our young women to become whores and sluts and our young men to become users of the young women without any responsibility for their co-action.
