The stars of TLC's new reality show 'Sister Wives' are the subject of an investigation by police in Lehi, Utah. The series features salesman Kody Brown, his four wives and their 13 children and stepchildren.In response to the investigation, the Brown family issued the following statement to PopEater: "We are disappointed in the announcement of an investigation, but when we decided to do this show, we knew there would be risks. But for the sake of our family, and most importantly, our kids, we felt it was a risk worth taking."
Police told PEOPLE Monday they were looking into the family's situation before the show's Sunday premiere, and confirmed that publicity surrounding the series prompted the legal curiosity.
"At the conclusion of the investigation, the evidence will be forwarded to the Utah County Attorney's Office for review and possible prosecution," Lt. Darren Paul said.

BOB GREAT POINT. ON TOP OF THAT THEY LET GAYS ADOPT CHILDREN. SODOM AND GOMORA IS EVERYWHERE. THE CHILDREN ARE CONFUSED ENOUGH WITHOUT ADDING MORE STRESS ON TO THEM. SELFISH INCENSITIVE PEOPLE THATS ALL.
About time! I was wondering when the law was going to step in and investigate since that man has been flaunting his harem on national tv.

Why should the law care what happens between consenting adults? Money should be spent to prosecute crimes and not living arrangements!!

I think that it's not so much the issue with the adults with which they are concerned. I think it really has to do more with the children and child welfare.
DRRNS seems to think it is ok to flaunt the laws regarding multiple marriages in this country. I wonder what would happen if one of the women decided she'd had enough as some have in the past. I understand it sin't purdy. The women are shunned and denied right to see children in some cases.
You know when an unscrupulous zoo puts a sick monkey in front of the public profit we don't blame the monkey. I am offended that TLC is profiting from this social diviance in the same way they have profitted from the immodest Duggers who apparently have never heard of moderation or that there is a population explosin that is threatening to kill all of us! Selfish greed on the parts of the producers and OMG what a way to role model to young people. You know a bunch of sad teenagers are going to take that as a sign that they should bog thier lives down with a million kids to get on TV. And you know now that as the channel makes polyogmy look ordainary then there are going to be young women who see being enslaved to a man as if they really need a man is rediculous. Where is the polyamourous Gay Family? WHy a straight guy with women? Why not mix it up there TLC? I mean you are living in the past as far as realtionships are concerned.
Anyway don't blame the monkeys. Blame your neighbours for turning on TLC at all. I for one will not be watching that at all.
Who cares what they do as long as they're happy, have decent living arrangements and the kids are fed, clothed and raised to be decent adults. As far as being "concerned about the welfare of the child" there are plenty of people right here in New York that should be hung out to dry for doing to their children what they do.
The investigation is a cover because many of the public officials like the police are involved n this way of life so these charges get pushed .
Exactly what I said my sister, it's against the law so how are they getting away with this. I'll bet we will now find out he never legally married all of them. Is the tv show libel in anyway for knowingly promoting a unlawful arrangement.
Me to how could tv station even consider letting him have a show i think the station should be investigated to.
Unbelievable. This is patriarchal exploitive sexism. It has nothing to do with "procreation" and everything to do with male dominance and female stupidity and subservience. Were that not the case, why do you never hear of ONE WOMAN "going after" FOUR MEN? Because it is sexist and about the ego of men, that is why. Which these women are responsible for enabling and worshipping. It is not a "living arrangement", most of these marriages are "arranged" because the women are brainwashed. It is the European Caucasoid's version of The Harem. It is also why men, especially in Europe and America are facing an exploding infertility crisis, reproductive diseases and a failing chromosome. Their selfishness and narcissitic behavior is catching up with them. But worse than the perpetrators are the people who enable them.
So how many of this "family's" boys will have wives when then grow up? 1 in 4? The boys are of no use to this religion. Only the girls are of value for a handful of men to use for their own pleasure. It may not be technically illegal but this arrangement certainly qualifies as child abuse.
Its important to investigate THESE people. Meanwhile, many a welfare mom with litters of kids and numerous "baby-daddy" are excused from any scrutiny because they know marriage cuts into their benefits.
Just more freak show TV from TLC. At least they're not polygamist little people.

Funny, you never hear of the opposite in Utah--one woman with several husbands. Why is that?

She has the nerve to say she's raising ethical and moral children? Is she smoking crack???? I mean really. How can it be moral OR ethical to have your kids be cousins AND brothers/sisters at the SAME TIME??!! There is nothing ethical or moral about having consentual sex, and making babies with one man and THREE SISTERS...GET YOUR OWN MAN...THERE ARE PLENTY OUT THERE TO CHOOSE FROM.
It's called "the principle". For Certain types of Mormons the husband only weds many wives and has as many children children as possible.
Because Joel, no woman in her right mind wants more than ONE husband! LoL :))
In the Mormon faith women cannot attain heaven without being spiritually married to a man. Men are seen as a means to grace.
