That is what EVERYBODY does. We are all enculturated into our society's way of life. These kids are no more "brainwashed" by their culture than our kids are.


Obviously I didn't explain very well. There is a huge difference between our teenagers getting pregnant and their teenagers getting pregnant. They are raised to marry at a young age and they have NO choice....they are fed into their heads that in order to go to Zion they have to do this. And I doubt everyone is bred to have sex at 13 and enter into marriage and have kids!

Maybe read up on the FLDS way of life and culture.
