I have been sucked in to Lifetime's Escaping Polygamy.
This is what happens when I don't have papers to grade.

OHMYGOD. These young kids are all: I need to leave this cult because it's a life or death situation. And the people rescuing them are like, okay we have 2 minutes. And then the kids are all, "HOLD ON. I NEED TO PACK EVERY GODDAMN THING I OWN."
So these young women are helping other young women (and sometimes young men) leave the FLDS cult.
EXCEPT THEY JUST GET THEM OUT AND THEN
In one episode this young woman (former cult member) helps two sisters escape. She gets a call 11 months after their escape. The one sister is pregnant and says, "I don't know anything about birth control because it was against our religion."
The young woman who helped these two sisters says, "I thought the people they'd meet on the outside would help them. I mean I can help them physically leave, but I can't teach them..."
Pro-tip: If you help someone escape a cult, YOU NEED TO GET THEM PSYCHOLOGICAL HELP TO DEPROGRAM THEM. As a fellow female, it is your MORAL obligation to educate them on how to protect themselves.
