...defect has become increasingly prevalent within the FLDS community since 1990 when it was first identified by Dr. Theodore Tarby, an Arizona pediatric neurologist, now retired but formerly with the Children's Rehabilitative Services in Phoenix. He saw his first case when an FLDS mother brought her severely retarded son to see him. Tarby asked the mother whether any of her other children had problems, and she mentioned a daughter with cerebral palsy - testing proved that she, too, had Fumarase Deficiency syndrome...
State officials will not release any medical information about the 416 children in their custody, but one mother, giving her name simply as Sally on CNN's Larry King Live, described her son as "handicapped" and needing hourly care. "One of the mothers raised concerns about her child who had Down Syndrome," TDFPS spokesman Greg Cunningham told TIME in an e-mail. "That child has had a medical evaluation and has had one-on-one care."

...father of a son who, five years ago, on the eve of his first communion, asked me what clerical sexual abuse was, I'm as gratified as any Catholic that Pope Benedict XVI confronted the issue as strongly as he did during his U.S. visit.

The movie starts to get heavy-handed around the time Mouna arrives at Vale’s apartment. Here the film becomes less about the quiet relationships that develop between characters and more about calling attention...
...Eldorado remained focused on the FLDS. The local paper, the Success, has been key to keeping it in the news. When Mankin and his wife Kathy (who is the office manager and reporter - their son covers sports) bought the paper in 1994 they were committed to covering hard news. The FLDS story became a steady feature on the paper's pages. "It's four miles from our front door and our job was to educate the readers," Mankin says. The paper did more, uncovering FLDS plans for compounds in Colorado and South Dakota long before other, bigger media, and offering...
