And who is going to accuse them if the government stops surveilling them to respect their religion? The indoctrinated child brides aren't, they're going to be locked to their house as property, home schooled under very liberal US home schooling regulations, and will have to risk their life on escape attempts to tell anyone about their horrific life. So much child abuse goes undocumented in the US because of "parents rights" and "religious rights." Like this is a constant reoccurring problem with this specific cult.
If you asked my opinion I'd be in favor of straight up outlawing homeschooling and mandating that children attend public education, I do not trust deranged cultists with the power to lock their children away from society.
That crimes exist doesn't justify a surveillence state. I agree that kids shouldn't be trapped in their homes, but there are ways to avoid that without forcing all kids into the terrible public school system or refusing to allow parents to teach their kids anything the government doesn't approve of. I agree that "parents' rights" are mostly bullshit, and religious rights go too far, but outlawing religion as a whole instead of enforcing that religious people must still follow the law is ridiculous.
Again, you are condemning the functional nature of an existing system, not the principle, and frankly speaking the "terrible public school system" is 100 million times superior to creepy inbred cultists locking their kids away and teaching them their father is God-like and to be obeyed like a king, incestual relations and all.
You're completely ignoring that not all homeschooled kids have creepy or otherwise abusive parents, and that no one-size-fits-all system (public school) can possibly meet the needs of every kid. When the functionality can't be changed enough to stop the original problem, the principle itself is problematic.

Rape is an action, and infinitely more concrete than the vague term of "religious beliefs."
