I understand that you don't have a problem with polygamy as a whole, but the problem is that their kids grow up in an unstable home and usually become polygamists because their parents told them its ok or they know nothing else
the women in colorado city are forced into it but they dont know that its wrong so they just continue to think that the men in the city are supurior to them.
If the polygamy ended they would know that what happens is wrong.
This isnt just colorado city either. this is just the tip of the iceberg If we have any hope of stoping the abuse of these polygamists then we have to send a message to the people of these relationships that abuse such as what is happening in colorado city will not be tolerated!! I am currently creating a site that will provide information to people like me who want this stoped plz post information that could help me in stoping the abuse of citys like this one

<the women in colorado city are forced...>

That's the problem right there. It doesn't matter if they are polygamists. It doesn't matter if, in turn, their kids grow up to be polygamists. The whole problem is that they are being forced into it. And that anyone who speaks out against it is abused, or that people are just abused in general. That is the problem.

You need to be careful about what you target, and not to confuse polygamy with abuse. It is perfectly fine for a group of adults to live together, in consent, and to do whatever they'd like to each other in private. This is a completely separate issue than abuse, and it needs to be addressed separately. I think that if you separate it properly and try to tackle the abuse, you will get more supporters and be more successful.

wait a minute here polygamy clearly creates unstable situations for the child, they have no knowledge of whatis correct for them to do and they willingly go into abusive situations because the don't know any better
