Religious Extremism: A Parenting Style
Anonymous:
The fact that "Utah is one of a few states that records children who witness domestic abuse as abuse victims also" would certainly make comparisons to other states / religions impossible.

--- Quote ---73% of the population of Utah is Mormon. That means 73% of the 12,000 children abused in Utah have Mormon parents.
Spousal abuse is also high among Mormans.

Now im all for making fun of Mormons, but thats bad satistics, and is not nessasarlly true, the other 27% could be abusing their kids alot more , that could be where the numbers fall. Remember, were talking about a state will millions of people in it 12,000 is a drop in the bucket.
First management had plans and then strategic plans. Now we have vision, and we're only one small step from hallucination.

Those statistics are directly from the Utah Government. There are only 2,351,467 people in Utah. That's not very many, relatively speaking.
12,000 cases of abuse is not a drop in the bucket. One case of child abuse is not a drop in the bucket. And do you really think that the percentage of abuse is higher among the 27%? Probably not.
This is not making fun of Mormons, this is stating facts. Making fun of one's religion serves no purpose. This country was founded on freedom of religion. To disagree with the teachings of the Mormon religion is fine, to make fun of it is unnecessary.

Oh no no, you misunderstand, im not trying to trivalize anything but when you use statisitcs you can just make sweeping statments like sence 73% of people are mormon, that means that 73% of child abuse accur in mormon homes, that would be like me saying because 27% of people in utah are not mormon, that then they must be protstent. Its just not wise statistics
(the making fun of mormons comment was just to lighten the mood, and make my point more acceptable and seem less chalengeing, please dont get upset with it.)
The internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.

What I am saying is it just makes logical sense that the majority of the abuse is committed by Mormons -- now, that may vary slightly, but I doubt very seriously that it is very much.
Did you also know that there is a very high rate of young mothers in Utah using prescription tranqilizers. A higher than average number of youg girls that marry in Utah are pregnant? Those things are attributed to the belief that these young women are expected to have as many children as they can phyically have. And young girls are expected to marry soon after they turn 18, if not before, so they can start having those children. A lot of pressure, if you ask me, for young women. No wonder they need to be drugged.
These women are expected to breed like animals.
They are second-class citizens to their husbands.
They are supposed to almost bow to the lord and master. Keeps them all under control and prevents them from acting on their own, I guess.
