| Clearly there are still places in the world where women, and apparently young girls, are considered of little or no value. How can this be considered anything other than rape and murder?http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/15/world/meast/yemen-child-bride/index.html?eref=mrss_igoogle_cnn - Quote :
- CNN spoke with several locals who requested anonymity, as they feared possible reprisals. Many said they'd been ordered to stop discussing the case with the media, insisting officials there were actively downplaying what had happened.
"No one is talking about this story because its an embarrassment," said one resident, "but this is what poverty can do to people." |

| I wonder how many Mormons hidden in their enclaves are still marrying girls for "Celestial Marriage." They continued the practice even though it was long illegal in this country. Also, it was common in the Appalachian mountains to marry young.
Because I mention our own history does not mean I approve. It just means I suggest caution in blaming others for allowing this heinous practice but support them for correcting it.

| I hear you, DK, and agree that there are factions in this country that lag far behind on the issue, but this current situation involved an 8-year-old child - who died after a sopposedly adult man attempted to have sex with her. If this were to happen in this country, even in the Morman community, there would be an outcry rather than a cover-up by the state officials. |

| When I lived near Mormon communities they hid their own troubles. They did not reach authorities. The families in Idaho sent unwed mothers (very young ones) to Utah to get rid of their babies and the girls came back as if they were never pregnant. |

| The lengths to which men go to justify their pedophilia is around the world. Decent men who respect women as equals do not do those things unless they, too, are mentally demented.
There are pedophilia organizations in this country where they use children. They also travel to Thailand where it is easier among the poor. Tour organizations arrange for these men to travel to countries where they can do as they wish with girls and boys.
This is a heinous topic. It is the bowls of society; yet, many of these men hold responsible jobs and are married with children and to all appearances a normal life. |
