In addition, the boys work for little or no money in the businesses run by FLDS which often get local government contracts. If they rebel, they are kicked out, google “Lost Boys.” Jeffs was, if I remember correctly, also charged with violating child labor laws; either him or one of his associates.

Years ago I lived in Page, Arizona, and a group of polygamists lived across the street from my house. I have no idea exactly how many of them lived there, but I remember the long, gingham dresses of the women. They wore pants or jeans under them, sometimes. The men worked in construction, and I remember that it was hard for other contractors to bid against them because their bids were always the lowest. I'm sure that's because they didn't pay wages to their "employees".

I’m not surprised to hear about that.

Truthfully, this particular ranch is likely only the tip of the FLDS polygamy iceberg.
