One Man, Six Wives And 29 Children 

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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"...

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

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

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

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

"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?

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

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

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

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

I can't believe this predator had the nerve to call Candance mature while the girl is giggling like a shy 11 year old. Unbelievable.

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

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

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

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

“Tom married my mother after me”🤨 mother says “my older sister was married to Tom” 🤔

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

I've seen horror movies that freaked me out less...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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…

Their family tree has to look like a tumbleweed

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

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

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

I find it ironic and disturbing, to say the least, that this man refers to his 14, 15, 16 year old sons as "children" but sees the 16 yr old girl he desires to marry as ready to be a mother and wife, and never refers to her as a child. If one 16 yr old is a child in his eyes, can he not see the contradiction in not seeing the 16 yr old girl as a child also? He's just making up the rules as he goes, as he sees fit.

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

this could literally be a season of American Horror Story...

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

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...

He's using religion to be a pervert.

"when I married Tom, some of his children were the same age as me" uhm..... Enough internet for today.

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.

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

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

The fact he calls his wives “girls” is a clue they are way to young for marriage.

“The time may come when I have a wife younger than the children we have here.” I BEG YOUR PARDON????????

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

He’s using his RELIGION to prey on younger girls.....this is wrong on so many levels....I hate when people use religion to justify their behavior.

Polygamy is one thing but marrying underage girls and their family members is a while other thing

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

Polygamy between consenting adults is one thing, but taking advantage of children is a whole other ballpark.

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

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

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

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.

Never trust a man with no eyebrows

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

I feel like this guy would justify marrying one of his own children next.

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

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

What kind of parents would give the okay for their 14 year old permission a 35 year ago man. All of this is just sick

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

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.

With every thing they explained at the beginning - I was 14, then - my MOM married my husband.. it just kept getting WORSE and I kept shouting WHATTTT

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

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

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

Hearing that little girl say, " Hardly anyone visits his grave, but I do." 😢😪😔💔

George Clooney : I'm the sexiest, most desirable man alive. Tom from Utah : Hold my milk.

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.

Yeah, when God said to love everyone, this not what he meant...

This feels like the season of american horror story that everyone skipped.

Wait a sec.... So he is marrying his son's crush???? I feel sorry for his son :(

In May 2001, Tom was found guilty of bigamy and criminal nonsupport. In August of that same year, he was sentenced to five years in prison and USD$78,000 in restitution for welfare provided to his five wives and two dozen children. After it was ruled that the statute of limitations had not expired for the rape of a then-13-year-old Linda in June 2002, he was found guilty and sentenced to another five years in prison. In total, he served six years in prison and was released in 2007. At age 72 in 2021, Tom died from COVID-19 pneumonia. An obituary published by Green’s family paid tribute to three of his wives, Linda, Shirley and Cari. It's not known what became of Leeann or Hannah. All in all, he had 10 wives overall since his first marriage in 1970. He is survived by three wives, one brother, 34 children, 54 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

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 wanna see it reversed..........1 woman 6 husbands.

Tom married my mother after me. I think any failure in my life can be justified after hearing this statement.

"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

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

when you have to explain the reproductive system and reproductive organs to a girl on your wedding night, shouldn't that say something??

Tom, regarding Candace: “This girl is quite mature and capable.” NOT TRUE. She giggles incessantly like an 11 year-old; she’s only 16.

The fact the son likes Candice and Candice likes him and his father wants to marry her is so sad, she is literally around his sons age and you can tell she is still in her childlike mind frame it’s very difficult to understand

Can someone draw like a family tree, or circle in this case, my head hurts.

He’s collecting sisters and daughters like infinity stones

You know you got to the weird side of youtube when you watch this 😶

“This girl is quite mature, quite capable” bro she couldn’t even answer a question about herself or say a single thing about who she is

That awkward moment when your mother becomes your sister wife. That even more awkward moment when your girlfriend becomes your 6th mother.

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

If you have to explain her reproductive system to her....then she is too young for you bro.....

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?

“and who did tom marry after you” “he married my mother after me” JAW DROPPED

They keep talking about how it is the woman’s choice to be with him. These aren’t freaking women they are young naive girls who have never had a first love and don’t know what it is!!! He manipulated these poor girls to think they were in love with the first creep to show them attention. Period.

I am afraid that one day he'd marry his daughters also😞

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