9. But this is my other problem
Eliminate the disgust that many of us have for this particular religion.....

Does every girl end up married at age 13? Does every man inside the compound engage in abusive acts? That's the mess we're dealing with. I'm not going to pass judgement on their religion - it's something we're free to practice. I realize that polygamy is illegal but I've never questioned what consenting ADULTS wish to do. There's a good chance that abuse was going on in this compound but I highly suspect it was a few people doing it and not all of them. But because of the nature of these compounds and our attitude towards this religion, we have to separate 416 kids away from their families and I'm suspecting what happens with a core group of people. I think you have the Warren Jeffs who are sick fucks that belong behind bars, but I highly doubt they are all like that.
