It is so disgusting but they get "married" so young to these old guys it is kind of expected that they would be young mothers. My heart goes out to them.

Gee, that's almost as bad as the national average.

that is pathetic. hard to believe that people like that are in the united states in modern times.

I think the term, "Dirty Old Men" really applies here.

those people were brainwashed!!! did you see them on the today show/? they said that they had no idea what the law was against polygamy, and did not care. they just knew what they were doing was right, and divine in god's eyes. very sad situation.

as I understand it *and i could be way off base* even the mainstream Mormons are verrrrry into 'recreating',,

heard a mom say of her prego 16 year old 'yep, she's being a good mormon girl'

Education is so overrated.

The few mormons I've met did seem to marry young, but I think it's different for a 19 year old and a 20 year old to marry than a 13 year old to a 53 year old w/ 5 other wives.
