POLYGAMIST COMPOUND MARRIED GIRLS AT PUBERTY

One more bit of news that's been going on recently, this time in Texas:
This is too disturbing:
The compound was raided Thursday after the 16-year-old girl called a local family violence shelter March 29 and 30, using someone else's cell phone and speaking in hushed tones to avoid being overheard, McFadden's affidavit said.

The girl said she was not allowed to leave the compound unless she was ill. She told the shelter that her husband would "beat and hurt" her when he got angry, including hitting her in the chest and choking her while another woman in the house held her baby.

The girl also said her husband sexually assaulted her, and that she was several weeks pregnant. The girl told the shelter her husband went to "the outsiders' world" but didn't know where.

Wow, the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints...I shudder and get goosebumps thinking about the way these people lived. That's just wrong... I mean I understand polygamy has been practiced since waay back when, and I can kinda see that, although we all know we don't need any more pimps and playas out there in the world, but polygamy with sixteen year old girls? PLEASE STOP!
