How Warren Jeffs’ FLDS Turned Children Into Property — Part 2

from True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews · host Real Story Media

The true crime community knows the name Warren Jeffs. The FBI manhunt, the Texas trial, the life sentence—those are the headlines. But the story that matters most is the one that happened before any of that, inside the FLDS community, where children were the currency of a system designed by one man.Girls were given to men decades older in so-called celestial marriages. Boys were expelled by the hundreds—dumped on roadsides with no education and no identification—because their existence was mathematically inconvenient. Wives were stripped from husbands and reassigned to new men at Jeffs’ command. One woman was passed between Jeffs’ own brothers, moved to homes without running water, and watched as a caretaker scratched her children’s faces as discipline. A federal court later awarded her over $26 million.Part Two of the Hidden Killers five-part series on Warren Jeffs and the FLDS goes deep inside the machine—the keep sweet doctrine, the information blackout, the marriage economy, and the government failure that allowed it all to happen for half a century. If you’ve watched the documentaries, this fills in everything they left out.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
