My husband and I recently bought a second home in Central Texas where we hope to soon retire. The town we live outside of is neighbor to Eldorado, Texas. You might remember Eldorado being in the news within the last few months as the place where all the children were removed from a polygamist mormon community. What I am about to tell you does not include mormon people who do not practice polygamy. I have mormon friends and they are splendid people.

An infant girl is taken by her father and slapped until she cries then her father dunks her in a container of water where she sucks in water and almost drowns. When she gets her breath, she is slapped again until she cries again, dunked again. This is done repeatedly until the baby stops crying completely.

It is known in the polygamist mormon sect as "breaking them".
