Now Playing Are women in FLDS responsible for abuse?

Polygamist leader Warren Jeffs is on trial for child sexual assault.

The charges stem from evidence collected at the 2008 raid on the FLDS West Texas ranch, where 400 kids were taken from their families due to reports of child abuse.

Although the children were eventually returned to the compound, many believe the allegations of physical and sexual abuse still exist today.

But who is really to blame? Why are these mothers letting their 12-year-old daughters marry 50-year-old men as alleged in the Jeffs trial?

Dr. Drew and his guests take a look at some of the FLDS mothers who were upset that their children were taken during the 2008 raid on the El Dorado ranch.

Are these mothers also to blame?
