Ah. I pay zero attention to infotainment.
I believe it took her two years to get up the courage to act.
Food stamps would go a long way if you don’t feed the kids.

The people who bought the Texas house, who did not want to appear on camera, had to rip out the carpet and replace much of the drywall, and found scratches on the inside of some of the closet doors. :eek: They were told that it was from dogs, and they had no reason until now to believe otherwise.
If that 82-pound 29-year-old was the mother of the 2-year-old, that would have had to be an extremely difficult pregnancy.
This whole thing reminds me, in a way, of some of the people who were raised in Scientology with little or no exposure to the “real” world.
It is just creepy as hell. How do these people get away with crap so long and have 13 kids? If they don’t want kids, why did they continue make them? I wonder if they were born in the hospital?
If they were born at home and home schooled, I wonder if the government knows about them… Probably, to get food stamps and tax deductions.
I’m officially against capital punishment and all, but some people just need to be lit on fire.
Well said.

Yeah, but that establishes your basic legal precedent. Next it’s murders, robbers, and guys named Carnivorousplant who run stop signs.
See post #32.
This reminds me of the Collingswood, NJ, case, from 14 or so years ago. Four adopted boys, all severely malnourished. The abuse was discovered when a neighbor found the oldest rummaging in the neighbor’s garbage at 3 in the morning. That wasn’t as bad as this case, though.
Aaaand that was already posted, which I somehow missed as I was scrolling down the page.
Academics are going to want to look at those journals too. I do hope some good will come out of this godawful mess, but those children are going to have a long road to recovery.
First off, I hope they get to eat all the pumpkin pie they want.
Non cult people are strangely oblivious sometimes. Asking ‘why’ the parents encouraged the kids to write when it created a record of their crimes.
They let them write because they don’t think they have done anything wrong. I’m willing to bet actual money that they STILL don’t think they’ve done anything wrong and they’re just being persecuted for their faith.
Those poor damn kids.
These seem like folks who abhor government interference. I doubt the parents would try to get gov aid.
I think they would accept food stamps and aid as a way to stick it to the man. Those weird Mormons under that Warren Jeffs got food stamps and wic, and probably EBT.
It seems Sperm Donor kidnapped Egg Donor when she was 16.
There’s a whole lot of twisted going on there. She didn’t even attend her parents’ funerals. Could she be some sort of a victim too?
Someone on another board posted a British link to unaltered pictures of the kids, which included their names and approximate ages, and included a little bit about the mother’s background. According to this story, her father was a freelance “minister” who beat and raped her mother in front of the kids, and he looked scarier than any of the people in THIS story.
I won’t post that link because it had references to psyops and some other really wonky stuff.
