At least to me it is shocking!! 31 out of 53 girls between the ages of 14 & 17 have been pregnant.



The Associated Press: Officials: 31 of 53 girls from sect ranch have been pregnant

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.

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.

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

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.
