In the interim, while we all read about financial disputes and unfortunate evictions, scores of teenage girls are being sexually abused by FLDS elders.

How about some law enforcement in regards to that? Get your priorities straight, Utah!

You can see why it is so important to leave the property in the hands of the court-appointed administrator and not return control of it to the Jeffs. Hard to imagine why a judge recently did or tried to do that.

This is the M.O. for this group. If the men don't swear allegiance to Jeffs (or whomever the current leader happens to be), they are kicked out and their wife/wives and children and homes are "taken" away from them. If the women don't do exactly as the leaders demand (renounce their "wayward" husbands, agree for their daughters to "marry" or whatever else is required) then they are figuratively and literally kicked out of their homes. They are completely ostracized.

I can't imagine what the children are going through, emotionally as well as physically.

Add this to the recent book burning. Unfathomable that this happens in the United States.

The FLDS portrays everything as persecution for their beliefs. The reality seems to be a power struggle to maintain control of lucrative enterprises. Not a whole lot sprituality and brotherly love going on.
