The Lost Boys

(ABC 4 News) -- They were born in to a secret society in the remote part of the desert ... now ... they’ve broken free to find themselves ... and a new faith.

In a no-holds-barred interview ... ABC 4 news talks to two so-called "lost boys." Dubbed the lost boys by the media, they are young men who saw flaws in the leadership of polygamist leader and federal fugitive warren jeffs and left the group to find life outside the confines of the group some call a cult.

"If I’m going to hell, I don’t care ... it’s my hell."

That’s the perspective of Deloy Steed ... talking about the day he decided to pack up everything he owned and leave Colorado City.

Steed and others formed a growing group of young people who depend on eachother as they escape this way of life.

Now ... thanks to the help of a man who owns Utah mega-corp Ultradent ... the boys are getting their educations and learning to live life on "the outside."
