Would you

Thing is they make those compounds out in the middle of nowhere so there is nobody to witness it. I doubt anybody who wasn't part of this fanatical group would say that they wouldn't report it.

I would quickly report it. It was shocking to know there were so many children being treated so badly. Its sad knowing there are so many cases in this country that aren't reported right away. I volunteer my time to Battered Women and their children. People need to report abuse.

Anyone who knows children are being harmed has a duty to report it. What I can't understand about this closed community is how it can have gone on for so long. I can see that no-one outside the community was aware that children were being groomed for relationships with older men, some of whom they were related to. But inside the community, the parents of these girls must have known what went on yet did not think it wrong. The children who were married at 14 years of age had been brought up to think it was usual or normal, but there is no excuse for the parents of the girls. What were they thinking to allow it to happen. Surely no-one could really believe in that sort of religious doctrine. The only reason these children were removed is that one girl complained. Why did no parent or other adult have the intelligence to get out and report what was going on?
