The veneer may be coming off. A lot of people may be wearing jumpsuits before this thing is over.

How many polygamy defenders are we going to see on this thread?

They'll probably just call Brent Jeffs a disgruntled bigoted Anti-fMormon.

When I look at that young man, my heart breaks for him and for the “lost boys.” I’ve suffered with grief during the past two week because I have daughters, and now I feel the pain as a mother of sons.

He reminds me of my three sons, one accross the seas serving our country in the Army, one who delivers your packages while dressed in Brown, and my youngest who is getting married in June and will move his new bride into his new house.

I pray that these young men will get the chance to grow into honorable, whole and productive fathers and husbands.

I pray for all the children of polgamy. God have mercy upon them, let your face shine upon them, and give them peace.

I think John Quinones did a very even minded report. I thought, though, more info would be given on the "Lost Boys" but I think they had to change the tone of the peice to fit the breaking news of TX keeping custody of the children.

I wonder if posters here, who can now be 'linked' the 20/20 report will still dispute that there are guard towers, gates, security patrols. People have argued this is just a hapless little ranch out in the TX scrub.

Lastly, Brent Jeffs is a very brave (and hopefully well protected) young man. He, like Carolyn Jessop could just get on with their lives, get therapy, and try to forget the whole sordid mess. Bless them and protect them for coming forward to help those left behind.

That Warren Jeffs guy sounds like a loathsome kook for sure ;-(
A brainwashing cult is a terrible thing... wonder when they will go after the Scientologist cult?

They seem to be swarming over HERE.

These poor children can't even identify their own parents and the polygamy defenders are ragging on the state for ordering DNA tests.

Pathetic.
