You know you're receiving the dignity and respect from your religion when they abandon 13 year old boys to cut stifle the competition of 13 year old girls and the older men of the compound.

Up to 1,000 teenage boys have been separated from their parents and thrown out of their communities by a polygamous sect to make more young women available for older men, Utah officials claim.

Many of these "Lost Boys", some as young as 13, have simply been dumped on the side of the road in Arizona and Utah, by the leaders of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (FLDS), and told they will never see their families again or go to heaven.

Warren Jeffs' whereabouts yesterday were uncertain, but Utah officials said they believed he may be hiding in an FLDS compound near Eldorado, Texas, and they have contacted the Texan authorities.

Here we go again with religious cults and their compounds being seized in Texas. Would someone send this dude a Newsweek from March, 1993?

But it doesn't look like the sheriff in El Dorado wants that mess on his hands, either

A West Texas sheriff says he doesn't intend to raid the Eldorado compound of a polygamist sect to arrest the group's leader, who has been indicted on sex-crime charges in Arizona.

Schleicher County Sheriff David Doran said he will arrest Warren Jeffs on an Arizona warrant if he's pulled over for a traffic violation.

"We're not going to take any drastic measures," said Doran, adding that he's not even certain Jeffs is on the sect's property.

"We have a lot of out-of-state warrants issued. We're not going to treat this one any different."

Lucky for him the Attorney General isn't as crazy as Janet Reno. Oh wait, what the hell am I saying? Of course he is.
