Child Bride ...
(continued from front page by Rebecca Kimbel)
Attorney David Nuffer painted a squeaky clean fairy tale image of “Christian qualities” of polygamy. Following the Utah Supreme Court decision to allow the Fishers to adopt all six of the children, David Nuffer spoke of his success in helping polygamists adopt. He is quoted as saying, “It’s a decision that speaks of freedom”.
Polygamists with Nuffer’s help, took a giant step in being free to do as they wished without public interference, but freedom as American’s know it, was lost forever from the lives of the six adopted children. They were not allowed contact with their blood family. None of them finished high school, one was traumatically abused and became a “lost boy”, two were given as under aged brides to other polygamists, all were given away in assigned marriages and the oldest nephew received several wives as rewards for his cooperation in the court proceedings. All of these children were sentenced to a life of blind obedience and fear, serving and believing in a blood thirsty God who would destroy them for turning away from polygamy or its leaders. One of these children was Wayne Alan Thornton Fischer, who became Brenda Lei’s father. It was her father who gave Brenda Lei to Warren Jeffs, to “strengthen his own position” with God’s prophet.
Who is responsible for perpetuating this enslaving ignorance? Attorney David Nuffer is an educated man, He has had many dealings and business deals with the FLDS. He has been paid well accordingly. Janet Johanson said the sum of money paid to Nuffer exceeds $600,000.00. Janet is Brenda Lei’s aunt, one who couldn’t save her.
David Ogden Nuffer has now been nominated for US Federal 5th District Court. He vowed to uphold the laws of the United States. He knew polygamy is against the law, but chose to ignore that fact. If Nuffer won’t protect our laws, how can we believe he’ll protect our rights? Is he failing at both?
