There are believed to be far more girls than boys among the children in custody. And the Texas boys are thought to have escaped the hardships common in other Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints communities, where boys are routinely expelled.

Girls can have babies and be engaged in “servitude”. The old buck on the hill story....
Hunting outfitters in Jackson Wy that I hunted with a few years ago were jack mormons, and they took in an expelled boy from one of these hillybilly mormon cults. From what I gather if the kid did not work the 14-16 hour day required by his “father” then he could hit the road. So he hit the road and the couple found him on the streets of St. George. So I always thought that voting for Romney wouldn’t be much better that voting for David Koresh.
It saddens me that mothers could let this happen to their sons. What mother could turn her back on her child to that extent where he was forced to fend for himself at such a young age?
Cold, just cold.
You do have a point. Many, many Mormons have know of this for years and did nothing about it, the shame is on their house.
This sentence is unclear. Who is expelled here? Did the TX boys escape hardships because they were expelled, or are the hardships common in other communities in which boys are routinely expelled? I think it's called a dangling participle.

A pernicious comparison.
Rozita has done hoaxes before and it looks like "Sarah Jessop Barlow" may not exist.
These people were superficially nice, but I could tell that they still feared the cult even though they did not live by its standards.
Oh yes, release the anti-Mormon bigotry again.
It's way past time to put an end to this child abuse...
Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, John Taylor...none of them advocating purging males from the population to give established males a better chance at getting females. So your charge against Romney is even more insane.
Not the first time a hoax has given an excuse for a tyranical government action — I’m thinking here of “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”.
I don’t need ABC news to tell me anything, I trust them I like I trust Bill Clinton with a virgin. Still Mormonism needs to be vetted like any other belief system, and if the mormons here cannot stand the heat they should join the cults that comprise modern liberalism and stand next to someone like Rev. Wright. ABC would never do an expose on what his parishoners think so safe behind the PC wall of intended ignorance.
I’m thinking here that this cult is long overdue for investigation. The fact that there are only 24 boys among the 400+ children in the compound is chilling and revolting. There’s NO WAY the “lost boys” from this compound are all teenagers! There should be at least 300 or so boys of ALL ages, from babies to teenagers. Where are they all???? Seriously!! That’s an awful large number of boys to just disappear. Were they transported to another FLDS compound somewhere? If so, where and why?? I don’t know why, but these missing boys tear at my heart even moreso than the pregnant child “brides.”
These people are like wolves.. Become a teen or before the males gotta go..
It is sad and I can tell you how it is done. I was introduced to the Jehovah Witnesses. I hadn't been to church in years and didn't know the bible. I started to study the bible with them not knowing they rewrote it. Then they told me I should get rid of all religious items because they would bring Satan in my house. In essence JW becomes your whole life. If someone does wrong they are to be exposed and put on public reproof and if unrepentative, kicked out never to be spoken to again. I know it sounds weird that a person would succumb to brainwashing but it is very subtle and done over a period of time. You are too afraid to leave because it has become your life and Satan would have a field day forever with you. I am now a Christian - very happy.
Bigotry? We want answers not Obama like liberal obfuscation.
I’m happy to hear that. You perfectly describe a cult, driven by fear over love.
The raped kids do exist. That much has been made clear
Please define what you are speaking of??? Does or does not the Mormon Church claim it has better birth records than anyone and is it not part of their teachings? If so they know where the fathers in the cults are and how old the little girls are.
Calling on Mormons to step up is hardly bigotry.
It’s heart wrenching. To be abandaned and discarded like a piece of trash instead of valued and protected by those you should be able to trust is just heart breaking.
A reply to private mail. Koresh and this clown from the FLDS are both god abusers who ran a cult of personality.
Rozita has done hoaxes before and it looks like "Sarah Jessop Barlow" may not exist.
Plan and simple bogus material, and the evidence has been posted here several time. Look it up.
Westboro isn’t a good comparison because they have few members. This cult had several hundred alone and it is not the only polygmous cult calling itself “Mormon”.
Keep in mind though that these cults think the real Mormon church in SLC is apostate.
As you know, the mainstream Mormon church cleaned house of these verman years ago and has nothing to do with them.

Where in the world are you getting the 24 boys number from?. Hell there was 92 taken the first day of the removal if you believe what some news reports say.

...School buses and buses from First Baptist Church of Eldorado were used Friday to transport 167 children from the YFZ Ranch to the Schleicher County Civic Center where they were turned over to representatives of Child Protective Services. There are reportedly 96 boys and 71 girls in the group with ages ranging from 6 months to 17 years.

....Authorities removed 52 children Friday afternoon and 131 women and children overnight Friday. About 40 of the children are boys, said CPS spokeswoman Marleigh Meisner.....
On Romney....
I think this FLDS story has crushed his chances to be picked for VP.
Multiple reports, links at the various FLDS threads here on
FR, have given “two dozen” as the number of boys.
You mean like going to hell for not accepting JC as your personal savior?
All religions are created to satisfy important, underlying needs. If you live in a desert hell-hole and have a tremendous inferiority complex, then Islam starts looking pretty appealing, what with all the conquering, vengeance will be mine fun & games.
If you lived in an age where extra-marital sex was heavily sanctioned and birth-control was non-existent (say, the US in the 1830s), then a religion that allowed you to play the field, under the auspices of "marriage", as if it was the 1960s free-love generation would fit just the bill.
Fast forward to today: what are the great taboos of our culture? One of them is pedophilia - it's just common sense logic to predict that a religion/cult would manifest itself with a doctrine of underage plural marriage concomitant with banishing younger, male competition.
Someone mentioned gays being attracted to St George - just wait, we'll see a church organized around these tenets, complete with plural gay marriage/civil unions. Some states, I believe Calif, even allow gays to adopt, so that would be one way to achieve a steady flow of welfare dollars for child support.
I don’t care if the raid was due to a hoax. I don’t care if the POTUS himself set the cult up for invasion. The whole world knows what these little girl rapers are doing and have been doing for over a hundred years.
Why don’t you sit down with a few of the men or boys who were thrown out on the street at age 13 or 14 so their daddies could rape little girls without fear of competition. I bet you wouldn’t have the huevos to even open your mouth.
semantic, the sad thing is that many people only point their finger at the catholic church or some other church. You said all relligions. The truth is many times these cases will be exposed but how many do you think go undetected where no religion is being practiced? This is only the tip of the iceburg I’m sad to say.
So to say this only happens in religious communities is a falsity.
Until the early 1970’s child sexual abuse was thought to be rare, and centered among the poor. Experts now agree that child sexual abuse has always occurred and still exists in all socio-economic groups. Increased public awareness has led to greater reporting; from 1970 to 1990, child sexual abuse reports increased more than other categories of neglect or abuse.1 Despite this gain, child sexual abuse still remains vastly under-reported.
True but the FLDS is a very strange bunch. It really is a cult. They worship certain men rather than God. That’s why they don’t evangelize. The whole focus of the LDS church is to grow. FLDS seems have no interest in it.
What Can I Do About Sex Offenders in My Neighborhood?
Get Help! 1.888.PREVENT
Discovering that a convicted sex offender is living in your neighborhood can stir a range of feelings – fear, anger, lack of safety, loss of control. Don’t panic! Sometimes, just having more information can diminish those feelings. There really are many things you can do to make the situation more manageable. Remind yourself and your neighbors that it’s in everyone’s best interest that this person succeeds in becoming a safe member of your community. Truth is, they probably want to succeed as well. Join with others to learn the best actions to take to keep everyone safe.

Pinging others who have asked ‘where the boys are’ before I read about these expulsions...thanks for posting this!
Yep Multiple post on FR makes it fact I’m sure......
They did remove/isolate ‘two dozen teen/adolescent’ boys last Monday the 14th. Some stories say they were placed in temp foster care and others don’t say where they placed depending upon how the news reporter chose to express it.
But nowhere does the CPS state that only ‘two dozen’ boys make up the total number of boys taken from the ranch. In fact I gave you two links of reports of higher numbers being reported during the first days of the removal.
I cited “links”, not “posts”. I am glad there are more boys than I originally thought.
BTTT
Congragulations dear. You are the first freeper lady i have seen here in the weeks since this started to ask how MOTHERS could let this happen too?
Thank you for some reasonableness. These threads often seem like an echo chamber of Mormon bashing and males fault only.
sicker and sicker.
add to that the welfare scam of the “single” mothers with the “grizzly old men” raping the girls and cashing the checks, and you got truly disgusting.
Sounds to me like they were basically breeding little girls for older men to have sex with. Boys might have been seen as just unwanted by-products.
I think it will be proven that there has been serious welfare fraud and serious crime against the state in the form of statutory rape and incest.
But I don’t want to be accused of Mormon-bashing so I guess I’m supposed to say, ‘not that there’s anything wrong with that.’
I refuse. Semantic, you’re right, but you left one thing out: that America was founded on the predication of religious freedom. And so our Consitution is being used against us. Collectively.
