FLDS are 100% child traffickers. Research the "Lost Boys", teen boys that get kicked out of the polygamist communities on trumped up charges due to the older men not wanting to compete for the women.
What do you expect us to do? Storm their compounds? They are excommunicated and disassociated from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They are disavowed as apostates. That's as far as the Church's earthly authority permits.
The rest is a matter for law enforcement officials, with whom we fully cooperate.
Yes, we do expect the authorities to storm their compounds and remove children from a situation where they are being raped and molested. Many who have escaped the compounds have reported the physical, sexual, and mental abuse that goes on there. Why are the compounds protected? Who is protecting them? Authorities who agree with or don't exactly object to what goes on there.

FLDS, I totally agree with you. There is a lot of evil there.
They are in no way affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

No way affiliated? Being a Break off and practicing the cult as originally intended isn't "affiliated"?
If there is a problem with your fundamentalists, there is a problem with your fundamentals.

Authorities, sure. Go for it. I'll be a cheerleader.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has no such authority. Our punitive options end at excommunication.
