The lost boys of Colorado City
Over the past five years, a fundamentalist Mormon "prophet" has banished as many as 400 boys from his Arizona town. Now the teens, once forbidden to even watch a movie, are adrift in a world of drugs, girls and depression.

  • No different than the Taliban

    How come we invade Afghanistan and topple their wacky fundamentalist government, but do as little as possible to stop this Jeffs nutjob. Hell, there should be US troops in the streets of Colorodo City, enforcing the rule of American law. Jeffs should be declared an enemy combatant and sent to GITMO, and those kids should be shipped off to orphanages in Hollywood and the Upper West Side to be raised by secularists.

    Mormon fundamentalists are just as crazy as Muslim fundamentalists, and just as dangerous to American freedom and liberty.
