Question

What about the boys in the Texas polygamy fiasco-haven't heard anything about them.?

Answer 1

I thought the news said many of them are at the compound or at least the older ones are.

Answer 2

I read an article that said an expert in court today told the judge that the boys are fine and playing normal.

Answer 3

Some of them were sent to a camp for boys and girls.  The place is about 400 miles away.  I don't know what's going to happen to them.

Many of the boys get exiled out of that community or they leave.  They are considered "competition."  Not all of them go, but most do.  Some of them are just told to not come home despite the fact they are 15 or 16.  The unfortunate thing here is that a lot of them get mixed up with drugs and alcohol.  This is probably what will happen to some of these boys if they are returned.

I don't know how the ones in Texas are doing or what will happen to them next.

Answer 4

In order for those men to have multiple wives, they have to get rid of some of the younger guys. Guys in their late teens and early 20's have gotten kicked out of those sects for the most minor of reasons. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/09/us/09p...
