These zealous believers impose severe and often violent restrictions on women, deprive children of education and opt instead to school them in the tenets of their faith, defy the law and move freely and secretly over international borders. They punish dissent with violence and even death. No, this sect is not the Taliban, but North America's fundamentalist Mormons." The lost boys are the young men of marriageable age who cannot find a bride among their own people because the elders have spoken for all the young women from the time they would still be considered children in the outside world..
