It seems evident to me that each case should be judged individually and that a blanket solution would be inhumane. * * *

The whole thing is a nightmare, and evidently has been going on for years. Were the older mothers totally without means to get their underage girls out of there? Were the older mothers threatened with death of themselves and/or their children? Or somehow, did they think that young girls were supposed to be married to much older men and live in a commune arrangement? Do we have any more commune living arrangements in the US right now...sharing everything, including wives and children with everyone....? As yet, we don't know much of the circumstances in this group... WHERE ARE THE FATHERS? Have any of them been arrested as well? Were all of the mothers and children taken at once because there was fear that another Waco might happen? The kids have got to be frightened out of their minds....

The government is making a moral judgement here on what a family is, is not or should be. If you are going to not allow polygamy then we must also not allow unions and marriages between two members of the opposite sex plus allowing them to adopt children. The only option is to define a marriage as strictly between one man and one woman. The psychiatrist is saying that teanage women are too immature to marry. A lot of us would not be here if our ancestors had followed that line of thinking. Many women were married in their teens in the 1700's and 1800's---it was not unusual to have a dozen children and not unusual for a husband or wife to marry the wife's sister or husband's brother if either the original husband or wife died----often with the purpose of providing a new mother or father for the existing children. There's also another matter in all of this--------the buildings and the land------will the government confiscate this? From the air pictures, remember this is Texas where land is not lush with foliage such as in the mountains, East Coast and other areas-----this property is desirable. If they confiscate it then who gets the $-------will the children who have been taken from their home get $? Every effort should be made to keep the children with their mothers and brothers and sisters. Have the candidates touched this yet? mj
