THAT THE CULTURE ENCOURAGED UNDERAGE GIRLS TO MARRY OLDER MEN AND BECOME PREGNANT.,THE RANCH BELONGS TO A BREAKAWAY SECT FROM MAINSTREAM MORMONISM, CALLED THE FUNDAMENTALIST CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS. AUTHORITIES BASED THE RAID ON A PHONE TIP PURPORTEDLY FROM A 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL, WHO CLAIMED SHE’D BEEN ABUSED BY HER MIDDLE AGED HUSBAND. THE GIRL HASN’T BEEN FOUND. THE CALL IS BEING INVESTIGATED AS A POSSIBLE HOAX. BUT THE SUPREME COURT FOUND THE ACTIONS OF THE STATE WENT TOO FAR, IN GENERALIZING EVERY KID ON THE COMPOUND WAS IN DANGER– AND IN THE LATEST TWIST…THE LOWER COURT JUDGE HANDLING THE CASE…REFUSED TO SIGN THE ORDER THE HIGHER COURT,UNLESS RESTRICTIONS SHE ATTACHED WERE INCLUDED..
