500+ Freed from ex-Mormon sex cult
I can't grab the link with my phone, so if someone could link the story I'd appreciate it, but this floored me.
Texas authorities Monday removed over 400 minors, mostly young teenage girls, and 133 adult women from a compound of the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints outside Eldorado. The group splintered from the Mormon church over 100 years ago when the larger church renounced polygamy. Many of these people have never known life outside the compound.
It's just insane--I doubt there are 400 teenage girls in my hometown.
