This article is pretty old. It's still an ongoing problem. This Vice News video (first segment only) is now dated, but has better perspective from the young men themselves. Having met a few of these guys, it's not an easy transition.
I just read Brent Jeffs's book "Lost Boy" last year. The amount of control the church leaders exert over the people is disturbing. (Even after the top leader has been revealed as a sexual predator.)

They accept the control because it gives them a better quality of life.
It's not even one one-millionth the control large tech companies have over the lives o f US citizens. There is an entire cast out "lost boys" called the third world the Americans gladly accept. Even after the top leader has been revealed as a sexual predator.
