I think this has been a big news story in the US. An 'off-grid', 'unschooling' family living in utter squalor in Kentucky have had their 10 children removed from them. They were living in filthy conditions, basically a shed with an unfenced pond nearby, litter everywhere.
Turns out that they were regular LDS until recently. They were normally housed and the mother kept a blog showing all the boys in shirts and ties and the girls in Sunday dresses.
http://homespunharvestfarm.blogspot.co.uk/She also had a personal blog with some of her religious and political opinions which are frightening and LDS-inspired.
http://theycallmemomm.blogspot.co.uk/The Mom did say recently that she's not really religious any more and I don't know you could really pin this one on the LDS church, in genuine sympathy with her I wonder if she needs mental health care. Thought it was interesting for this forum though.
