### Can you be more precise? In what way is this horrific exploitation
accomplished? Is there any use of physical force against resisting
persons? Use of threats of physical violence? Threats of
incarceration? Intentional starvation? Is there an unbiased,
statistical analysis of the frequency, if any, of such acts among the
FLDS members? Is there an analysis of outcomes, i.e. the frequency of
severe emotional trauma, and the level of adjustment among FLDS
members? How do they compare in such measures with average Americans?
How do they compare on these measures to the survivors of kidnapping
and persons raised in foster care or in orphanages?

Do you really think that kidnapping hundreds of children is justified
by a desire to punish their fathers?
