Here is an article about where the children obtained from the raid on the polygamist sect of the Mormon Latter-day Saints. There was a call received by police from a girl named Sarah about her underaged marriage to an adult man. Sarah is believed to be about 16 and said to have been beaten and forced to become the "spirtual" wife of an adult male of the sect. The authorities then had to decide whether these children should be held in state custody or released to their mothers based on the child abuse laws and rumors of sexual activity between minors and adults. http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/04/18/polygamy.custody/index.html?iref=newssearch
