TEEN BOYS
http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,695271197,00.html
SAN ANGELO, Texas More than two dozen FLDS teenage boys removed from the YFZ Ranch nearly two weeks ago are trying to maintain their way of life nearly 400 miles from the judge that will soon decide their fate.
"Every indication is that the boys are doing fine," said Dan Adams, owner of the Cal Farley's Boys Ranch, located about 400 miles from San Angelo.
So I made a good guess. Probably less than 30 boys 14-17. Hmmmm. :furious:
Wouldn't you like to know how many boys between 14-17? It should be about the same 45-55, but given their habit of sending the teen boys off, I bet there are less than 40 boys in that age bracket.
Yeah, Pepper when you made that guess ... I had to google to see how close you were ... I just had a feeling you nailed it.
Thanks for looking that up golfmom! So now the question is that given birth rates of boys vs. girls in a large population are similar, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BOYS? Were they exiled? Did they suffer more birth defects that caused an early death? Or, horrors, were they murdered?
Oh, I didn't think of that. That would mean that either there are parents in TX with kids left behind in AZ/UT or there are parents in AZ/UT whose kids were sent to TX without the parents. Abusive either way you look at it.I think that they were very selective of what teen boys were "invited" to join them at YFZ. I really don't think that the boys were abandoned in TX, but were probably left behind in UT or AZ.
