But you know what Warren Jeffs has thrown out his own nephew from the sect and CNN did and interview with him - his name is Brent Jeffs I believe if I remember correctly. But anyway Brent says it was a hard adjustment at first having to live in the outside world, but once he got adjusted he says he has been so much happier here in reality than having to stay hidden behind closed doors.

Also one day on Dr. Phil there were two runaways from that sect that were being forced into marriages at very young ages - I mean they were just like only 14 and 15 when they went on Dr. Phil and they said they were taught to fear everything and that running away at first was hard because they missed their families back at the compounds but they were given foster families that supported them 100% and they said here in the outside world they are treated more dignity and respect and aren't forced into everything the way that Warren Jeffs had led them to believe all their lives.

I think from these testimonies alone it would be enough that the State of Texas has enough probable cause that women and children at the compound are in danger of violence, physical and mental abuse from the men.

I was looking at the pictures of the children on Yahoo! News and there is a picture of a very young boy playing with a Texas sheriff's deputy and you can see the joy in his eyes almost like he's breathing for the first time in his young life.

The girls are seen smiling like they know that change will come because someone stepped forward - although they are more reserved because it's a learned behavior that has become second nature them.

I just hope the State of Texas gets its way and gets these children into loving foster homes and that finally these children will find their way to loving adoptive parents that would do no harm to them and show them what is to be human.
