Fantastic! Warren Jeffs put away for life for being a child molester and serial rapist. But, what about the community that permitted him to continue his actions? What about his bat-shit crazy wives and brother-husbands who condoned his monstrous behavior? How can a person of conscience stand by and do nothing, knowing he and others were abusing little girls and young women? That sickens me almost as much as what Jeffs did.

Does America now stand by and say the deed is done, we have justice? Or, does America continue and go after the whole damned sick and twisted, evil cult that is FLDS? Don't all the recordings and documents prove the complicity of other cult members? Shouldn't everyone involved, men and women, be charged with being accessories to the crimes Jeffs was charged and convicted? Shouldn't all properties and financial wealth be seized and held in escrow for the young girls and young women who must now live with the actions and inaction of the adults in their cult "community"? These girls will need serious psychological counseling for many years to come and support from social service organizations to deal with their pregnancies and babies born out of these unholy unions.

We should have learned numerous times before about dynamic leaders and their followers: Jim Jones and Jonestown, Applewhite and the Heaven's Gate whackos in San Diego. But do we do anything? Is the Branch Davidian/David Koresh episode of child molestation and rape not a powerful enough lesson that we cannot look the other way? We must protect the innocent and not allow these evil actions go unpunished.
