The State is not interested in discerning the theology behind the systematic statutory rape of 13 year old girls by 50 year old men. God reads the hearts of people.

Also, psychologically speaking, a man who has attraction to a pre-pubescent girl is a pedophile. Now if a man marries a 14 year old that may be against the law

Okay...we'll split the difference and call them statutory rapists. That's a tad less inflammatory then pedaphile, I suppose.

Is 50 the magic age there? Also, would you oppose returning the children to their parents if a deal could be struck with the leaders of the FLDS Church that they would not marry anyone until the age of consent?

Not if there are convictions. Rosie says they are innocent until proven guilty. Of course, that does not always mean that parents and children get to stay together, anymore than it means that those in pretrial status automatically get released on their own merits (yeah...I happen to work in a jail).
