1. I read the book, too.
The women and children are covered in clothing from their toes to their necks. All you really see are hands and heads. Few bruises would be seen. I know this because I used to teach in a very low-income area, and lots of kids came to school with bruises covered by long sleeves in hot weather.

As for black eyes. Carolyn herself said in an interview that a lot of FLDS women wore sunglasses to hide black eyes. And I did see sun glasses on some of the women when the compound was raided.

I've also read that the baby cemeteries have quite a few young children who died from injuries.

I'd also comment that the women from the YFZ compound have seldom been seen in public, so I'm not understanding how your questioner thinks their injuries could have been shown in pictures.
