RED TAPE THREATENS HOME FOR 'LOST BOYS'
The smell of fresh paint is in the air as one walks through the door, stepping onto stone tile still being laid on the ground. Electrical fixtures are being installed, and mixed and matched pieces of furniture are everywhere.

This is terribly sad, it does look however that the home did get opened because I've just watched a documentary on either this home or one similar for the 'lost boys'.
It was really heartbreaking to hear one 16 year old boy say that he was trying to treat the lady running the home as his Mom, because it didn't make any difference having an extra Mom...as he already had 3 already! Whereas, the only Dad that he could acknowledge as his Dad was the one that he had to leave behind at the FLDS compound in Colorado.
Apparently, he left his Father openly weeping for his Son, but his Dad felt he had no choice than to obey warren jeffs ruling, and send his Son out and away from his family.
really tragic that all this is going on in the name of religion.
DianeC, very tragic. Brainwashing to the max in my opinion. It was heartbreaking seeing these boys in such need of real parental guidance. They are just BOYS! And without proper guidance, they usually end up in the streets, doing drugs, etc.
