The grandparents indicated that they did have contact with them via phone calls. Someone in the household was occasionally tossing a picture up on Facebook too.

Speaking of the grandparents, I heard one report that said when this mother (married at 16) was a child she was not allowed to have any friends, and her activity outside the house was extremely limited. So this is kind of the way she was raised.

The part that ought to grab our attention is that pursuing questions has revealed that these parents home-schooled their children, and have taught them to memorize Bible quotations, and some of them have attempted to memorize the entire Bible.

I am really hoping this horror does not serve as a convenient excuse to increment homeschooling laws and restrictions across the country, especially "Christian" homeschooling.

Here's a local source.

It won't do anything to homeschooling laws because this has nothing to do with homeschooling, it is clear-cut abuse. Anyone with a modicuŠ¼ of sense would denounce this as horrific.

The court and law enforcement is treading very cautiously over the religion aspect, but as Cantarella says, situations like this are used by liberals to further their agendas. I have already heard media spokespeople sneering at the "Christian" label, and "Bible passages" and even sneering when they ask, "Are they Catholic?"

I am waiting to see pictures of anything of the interior of the home or of the 13.  Some are children and some adult.  My mother-in-law was 5 ft and 90 lbs. when she married.
