utterly heartbreaking BR. i raised three sons, and have a very soft heart for teenage boys, they may 'play the role', but they need their mothers.

That is Seriously messed up! Those are the kind of extremists that give organized religion a bad name. How could a mother or father be so "Brain-washed" as to give up their teenage sons?? Just drive out to nowhere and drop them off??

Gosh, you don't want to go believing that anti-American propaganda claptrap, BabyRider. The LA Times only promotes Godless Socialism, it doesn't print news.

What astounds me, is the fact that these teenage boys still love their parents so much that they refuse to press charges against them!

Further more, the father of the boy not wanting any involvment because he wanted to be accepted back into the sect, unbelievable!

What a twat!

I like to look out the window when we land. We passed over an expressway, and by the road was a large billboard that had the classic picture of Uncle Sam pointing at you. It read: "Get the TRUTH. Don't believe what you read in the LIBERAL PRESS." Wow- chilling! It reminded me of a scene from "1984."

From the article

Texas Governor Rick Perry signed Senate Bill 6 into law Tuesday, June 7, 2005, ending a monthsÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ long battle to bolster the stateÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s child protective service agency. The bill, sponsored by State Senator Jane Nelson (R-Flower Mound) and State Representative Suzanna Hupp (R-Lampasas), carried an amendment authored by Rep. Harvey Hilderbran (R-Kerrville) that elevated bigamy and polygamy from a misdemeanor to a felony and raised the stateÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s age of consent from 14 to 16.

You have got to be kidding-the age of consent was 14? It like something out of the middle ages.

Well at least where I'm from, it's illegal to marry first cousins. Unlike Britain. (cant help but have a little smirk here.) :yh_bigsmi

That's a slight exaggeration. First cousin marriage is illegal only in 39 of your states.

If you want something to blush over, in Rhode Island it's legal to marry your niece if you're both jewish.

He's a total dog with no sense of humor at all, BR, he and I would never get along if we got hitched. My niece, on the other hand, would impress anyone.

SoÃ¢â‚¬¦if some guy has nine girlfriends and he sleeps with all of themÃ¢â‚¬¦thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s legal. If he marries all of them, heÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s the scum of the earth and he can be thrown in jail. What makes one situation better than the other?

Be charitable The Royal family need to have someone to marry them else they wouldn't be the proper little bleeders we all know and love. Where are you from, if you'll pardon my curiosity?

Nine mother in laws, you have to question their sanity.

Dont these women however uneducated they are have any maternal instincts to protect their children.???

Dangrous question for a non believer to ask-so any offence given is unintended, but where is the cross over between a religon and a cult with all the associated brainwashing? If you are brought up in this way and know no other it is very difficult to change your world view, especially if it means banishment from all you know, some families and systems of belief can be a prison that you can't see the bars of.

I have some very direct, "close-to-home" experience with this sort of "religion" and the mother that I know did just turn her back on her son, as if he were dead. It's seriously screwy.
