This article is pretty old. It's still an ongoing problem. This Vice News video (first segment only) is now dated, but has better perspective from the young men themselves. Having met a few of these guys, it's not an easy transition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TMKyUdEEMo Edit: NSFW language and topics

I just read Brent Jeffs's book "Lost Boy" last year. The amount of control the church leaders exert over the people is disturbing. (Even after the top leader has been revealed as a sexual predator.)
