Subject: RE: BS: kidnapped girl found after 18 years
yes, similar to polygamist "communities" where the male children are evicted....hence: the "lost boys"

"The hidden victims of the Fundamentalist Mormons who practice polygamy today are the boys of the community. These young men must be chased from their families and communities of birth under various pretexts, because the polygamous community depends on a surplus of girls for the older men to take as wives. They have to get rid of them while still boys, because once they become men, they realize how screwed they are under the polygamous system, and as men, they would have the ability to do something about it. Getting rid of the rebellious and willful boys, while they are still confused, weak, and brainwashed is a lot easier then dealing with disaffected, angry men."
