One Man, Six Wives And 29 Children: A Polygamous Family | Real Stories Full-Length Documentary 

Me 10 minutes into this documentary: Am _I_ married to Tom?

These kids are literally siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins all at the same time

Candace can't even express herself, can't introduce herself properly, giggles sheepishly and she wants to get 'married'? I am so sad.

Imagine marrying Tom and getting your very own trailer. What a deal 🙄

When your wife doesn’t know how the reproductive organs work... she’s too young for you bro!

"Tom married my mother after me" . *W T F*

Marrying a mother and daughter was the sickest thing ever!!!!!!

MARRYING A 14 YEAR OLD AT 35 IS INSANE

“Each of my wives have their own, unique personalities” Dude this is how you describe pets.

It’s crazy that they emphasise how everything is the women’s choice but they were literally 15 when they “chose” Tom. It’s the master manipulation for me

For anyone who wonders: Tom spent six years in prison, during/after which LeAnn and Hannah left him. He was jailed not for bigamy but for statutory rape, because it was provable that Linda got pregnant at 13 (age of consent in Utah at that time, in the 80s, was 14). He died of COVID in 2021, and Linda, Shirley, and Carrie were with him until he died. LeAnn and Hannah both remarried and seem to live relatively normal lives. Everybody stayed pretty much out of the public eye after he went to prison. Years ago, I stumbled across this organization in Utah called Holding Out Help, which assists people escaping from the FLDS cult. I watched their 'what we do' video, and what do you know, there was Candace, talking about escaping FLDS with her children. So she did end up in an abusive polygamous marriage but escaped and lived to tell the tale. Also they don't mention it in the documentary, but in stories about the court case against him, they mention that Linda was his stepdaughter when he "married" and impregnated her.

He didn’t need to coerce these girls, their parents had already groomed them in preparation for a man like him. They believe that they act of their own free will, that they pursued him, but they were literally groomed for this lifestyle. On the same vein, of course that one wife never complained, she doesn’t know how. Her real human emotions are completely stunted due to how she was raised

Are we ignoring the fact that one of the children is named Benjamin Franklin

I was almost expecting a last wife interview going : "how did you meet Tom ? - Well I knew him from birth, as he was my father"...

”This girl’s quite mature” 36:50 Candace not even able to introduce herself 😭😭

The boy so innocently describing the girl he likes is heartbreaking. I forgot what it was like to be that age and to be infatuated with someone simply because they ‘read very fast.’ To think that that girl was about to marry his father…

"Who did he marry after you?" "He married my mom after me. " Me: *OKAY, THAT'S ENOUGH!*

This is disturbing. Why is this allowed by the government, yet put people in jail for finding weed in their car during a traffic stop

This made me so sad. I couldn’t imagine my parents allowing me at 14 year to ‘marry’ a grown man in a mobile home with 5 others 😮😢😢

Jesus, i was NOT ready for the plot twist of Candace being the son's girlfriend.

I don’t think I’ll complain about being single ever again.

“And who did Tom marry after you?” “Tom married my mother after me” iight ima head out

Tom died in 2021. He also at one point spent 6 years in prison because of all of this. Had to Google cause I was curious what had happened to these people.

This was 24 years ago. I pray that these children are safe.

"What do you have to offer a young girl?" Tom-" I think the real question is what does a young girl have to offer me?" ..... I'm sorry what?

He isolates them so he can control how they think in that desert dump. one of the #1 signs of an abuser.

So he is basically using religion to get away with being involved with minors? 14 and 31?!? That is insane to me.

The way he said that those young girls were more ready for marriage than a lot of women twice their age is sickening. What he meant was is that they are much easier to manipulate.

"I dont have enough time for all my children" *wants to find another wife so he can have more children*

This is hard to watch...the girls talk about him like it’s a teenage crush

when they sang happy birthday and the wife said she was 22 my jaw dropped.

the fact i am actually worried about is his children perspectives when they grow up , they are gonna think it is normal 🤐

"She's very mature for her age." *cuts to teenager laughing like a school girl*

Imagine if they all left him and put him on child support

there was no mention of education , school and what happens when they are adult. What do they become , as they never new the real world?

I get the sense that some of these women think this is simply a cute, innocent game of "Mommy and Daddy" or "Playing House" (like many kids do when they're small). They don't see the dire circumstances, but get excited about an ice skating rink with a fireplace in the middle, a walk-in closet, horses to go exploring, etc. I wonder when it finally occurred to them that Tom wasn't going to provide them or their children with any of those things? 🤔🤨🥺

Girl you ain’t never gonna have a walk in Closet.. ever.

"I want my kids eyes to look like yours" "I know how we can make that happen" *JAW DROPPED*

This is absolutely heartbreaking, and I feel for those little children. 😢

I dated someone who came from a polygamist family. His father had 10 wives and around 52 children. He even told me there were 6 generations of kids and each generation spend time separated from the other generations. He doesn’t even n know some older siblings and he also lost a lot in f siblings. It was uncomfortable the day I went to dinner with her mother who disapproved my relationship with his son because I was not agree to share him with more women. He had his traumas and we end up breaking up due to very different life perceptions.

He's using religion to be a pervert.

I‘m 4 minutes in and already lost track of who related to who

"So how long was that after he married your sister?" "2 or 3 weeks."

Tom Green, who was convicted of bigamy and raping a 13-year-old girl, passed away due to COVID-19 pneumonia at the age of 72. Just listening to those young girls, it seems like they have been brainwashed to the core. During the documentary, the interviewer repeatedly asks young boys about their girlfriend, which is inappropriate.

The fact that he has to call his wives “girls” because they really aren’t women yet is disgusting.

Tom: when I first saw this property, it was ugly Me: it’s still ugly

11:23 The smile of success after remembering his children proves that he himself was not sure to remember them all.

This man has to be locked behind bars .

A master manipulator will always make you feel as if it was your choice, not theirs.

Just livin' the dream--married to an old man in a trailer located in the desert with a hideous wardrobe.

okay polygamy is one thing, but a daughter and a mother being married to the same one is definitely a problem.

Misogyny is ingrained in human culture and expressed in many ways all over the world. Fight to free women all over the world and bring justice and equality should be a mission of all humans.

There's a reason Tom lives in middle of nowhere! He is hiding his lifestyle because he knows it's wrong

the fact that all of this women married to him without even knowing what sex was, and what they were realy doing explains why all of them think this is normal

He's like those flat earth believers. He has an answer for everything to justify this backward way of living 😐

You never go from 1-2 wives, you only go from 1-0.

Are we ignoring the fact that Tom married his step daughter?

"I want my children to have eyes like yours" "I know how we can make that possible" Le BARF

i'm not sure i can stomach the rest of this video because only a few minutes in my heart is aching for these poor girls

33000 for 33 people… 1000 a year for food, clothes, electric, water, toiletries, laundry detergent and what not per person. $83 a month. I think I just found a new challenge for me lol.

“He married my mother.” She smiles like she’s okay with that but her eyes tell a very different story.

He’s collecting sisters and daughters like infinity stones

Rictus smiles. High careful speech. "What he wants is what I want." Extremely unsettling story. Tom gets in "less trouble" with the law if he waits for a girl to be 17. WHY is he not on deep soup with the law long before this video was made?!

Some men just weren’t told “no” enough as a child, and this is what happens

You know your wife is a little too young & sheltered when you have to "explain how the female reproductive system works" on the night of your marriage as you knock her up for the first time.

I was thoroughly disgusted with Tom already, but to find out he’s thinking about marrying his son’s girlfriend... instant rage

This is a horrendous crime! Where was the officials back then? Why Didn't cops arrest this manic after this was aired?

I need a follow up. Where are they all now ???

Never trust a man with no eyebrows

The way he's explaining the frames is something id do with my certificates hanging on my wall

It's so sad 😞 how he manipulated those young girls minds!!

What can he offer a young girl? Poverty and early widowhood.

“Tom married my mother after me” I’M SORRY WHAT-

God in Heaven, if these ladies EVER have an opportunity to read these comments, I pray for them to seek help. This is HORRID.

update: tom was charged with counts of polygamy and child r*pe and died in 2021 of COVID-19 pneumonia

The start of puberty doesn’t mean your body is ready to be pregnant, just that it’s starting to get ready. Having children when you're that young is extremely dangerous.

He has them living in dumps, poor children are dirty, he doesn't even have a job to support them all. Very sad and disgusting on so many levels.

Watching the most recent update on Netflix and now this shows the reality. I'm so glad some got out

Once you have more than two children its becomes harder to give each child the love and attention that one deserves , know this because I had five blessings over 20 year period.

What's the point of having all these damn wives and kids if you can barely afford them?!?

It's amazing what you can get people to agree to when you isolate them enough throughout their lives.

This documentary did such an amazing job of capturing the depravity of it all.

According to the Salt Lake Tribune he was let out on early parole in 2007, died of covid in 2021 but still ended up with 10 wives and 34 kids. Holy macaroni!

Imagine living in poverty in a makeshift trailer park in the desert in Utah with 29 kids sharing a man with 5 other women

"every time we get close to building a life, a wind comes by or a storm demolishes our house" sounds like god is against all of it

This whole thing just gave me the chills. The wives are brainwashed, the father is a pervert, and the poor kids suffer.

Their family tree has to look like a tumbleweed

"How did you meet your husband?" "Oh, my mom was married to him. We kissed and got married the next day. It was nice."

These kids talk like they're making their own decisions , like its all their choice.....THEY HAVE NO CLUE.....CRAZY

These girls are completely zonked!!😂😂😂 She said a ice skating rink and some waterfalls!!😅😂😂

He’s 51 and says he plans to have all the homes in a circle with lush grass in the middle... I don’t feel like that’s gonna happen in his lifetime

"There's seven drawers so room for two more wives." Furniture: a way to determine your entire lifestyle. Who knew.

That brings whole new meaning to the invitation of, "come meet my family." Half the family ended up married to the one guy! 😮

I can't 😢never believe 🤢😱 is that happening in this world I'm now 2024 .

when that boy was describing his girlfriend, and then he showed the picture and it was his dad’s new possible wife..... PLOT TWIST LMAOOOOO I ACTUALLY GASPED. THE OMINOUS MUSIC AND EVERYTHING...

Two minutes in and I'm already rolling my eyes...hard. Marrying children, marrying a mother and her daughter, marrying siblings. If I didn't care about breaking my tablet I'd throw it across the room. I'm so disgusted

God did not bring these women to Tom. Tom took advantage of these young women to meet his own selfish needs. Leave God out of this.

The way he conditioned the mother or elder women to condition the younger girls . " They come to me " " i never make the first move " is total b.s He conditioned someone the girls rely on .

When Tom popped up on the screen I actually screamed _“THAT’S_ THE GUY THEY ALL SWOONED OVER??”

I can't tell the wives from the kids.....
