The following is an excerpt from an email sent from MOVE Organization, Minister of Communications, Ramona Africa to a person whom she thought was a supporter of the cult

" Women in MOVE do marry and have babies at what this american society might now consider to be a young age but we follow the coordination of Mother Nature who coordinates it such that she determines when a woman is ready for marriage and babies, which is when a woman has her monthly period, then she is ready to have babies and be married. It's just that simple."

The recipient of the above email was not, however a supporter of MOVE, instead it was Tony Allen, the founder of the MOVE Watch website http://themoveorganization.com as well as the blog http://antimove.blogspot.com.

Both sites are dedicated to exposing the crimes and misdeeds of the Organization to which Allen was, for a number of years affiliated with.

It has been the contention of MOVE Watch that the MOVE Organization abuses the children within the group.

This abuse comes in various forms. The children of MOVE are not educated and are largely illiterate. They are not allowed preventative healthcare and are subjected to the sect’s cruel and authoritarian indoctrination methods.

But what is most disturbing about MOVE’s treatment of children is how the group forces it’s young girls to be impregnated and "married" to older MOVE men while they are as young as 11 or 12 years old. These girls, who have just begun puberty, are ruled and controlled completely by the leaders of the cult who exercise absolute authority over their lives as well as the children that they will have.

Representatives from MOVE Watch have been in contact with the Philadelphia District
Attorneys Office concerning this matter, although it is unclear to this point, what, if anything has been done concerning the on-going abuse of the children of MOVE.
MOVE Watch is releasing this information to the press because it is our opinion that many in the media, while acutely aware of MOVE’s abuses of children in the past are largely unaware of the crimes being committed against children within the group presently. It is also our hope that by placing a spotlight upon these abuses that they will cease and that those responsible may be brought to justice.

The above excerpted email from Ramona Africa is the first time that we are aware of that MOVE’s practice of forcing the young girls within the sect into pregnancy and marriage at a very young age has been documented
