Concerning behaviors, the guide states: "The children appear to cooperate, but may not. They will demonstrate politeness but may disclose little and/or contradictory information. Children in care were initially extremely compliant, but are beginning to 'act out' after separation from parents."

The document also says FLDS children are "socialized to believe that sexual activity with adults is positive."

The six-page document also includes a glossary of terms unique to the group. A "double cousin," for example, is someone who is related to someone else through both their mother's and father's families.

"Kids" is considered an offensive term as members prefer the word "children," the guide states. "Poofers" is a slang term for girls who suddenly disappear in order to take part in an arranged marriage.
