Texas officials say they want to help at-risk girls and sexual-abuse victims face emotional issues

Texas officials say they want to help at-risk girls and sexual-abuse victims face emotional issues

Texas authorities are asking parents from a polygamous sect to send daughters ages 10 to 17 to counseling sessions designed to teach them about sexual abuse and marriage laws.

The individual "therapeutic education" sessions are being offered to 63 girls who were among 439 children at the Yearning For Zion Ranch in Eldorado when it was raided in April. The ranch is home to members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

    Is the State also going to extend an "Invitation" to Jack and Charlie Malonis to attend sessions dealing with abuse of boys?

    Since there are signed and witnessed affidavits filed in Family Court concerning these two boys of Natalie Malonis, I think it only fitting that her boys seek protection and receive an "Education" also.
