J Raymond Wright,

There are 13 pending cases. In addition, the grand jury is still meeting and there reportedly have been more indictments issued or are being considered.

I haven't followed this that much, but the interviews with the "mothers" were freaky and disturbing. Only a gut-feeling, no proof, but I got the feeling that some things were going on that were weird. The lockstep Stepford look and talking points, the unclear parentage and marriage ages of girls? Perhaps the Texas CPS overplayed, but this group begs observation. We don't allow "group mores" to override state and civil mores. The big mistake, apparently, was in the "unified, global" hearing... done for reasons of cost and efficiency, but ultimately unworkable. Keep an eye on these people, but don't over-react...and don't accept out-of-state anonymous payphone accusations

#2 Polygamy is illegal in this country. Cults led by a Dear Leader, sadly, are not. The only reason this group has not imploded is because they have been allowed to dump their excess young men on the outside world.

We've been tolerating these old-style "Mormons" for entirely too long.
