3. The Children of Zion
In April, Texas
authorities raided the The Yearning for Zion Ranch, home to several
hundred members of a breakaway group of polygamist Mormons, the
Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The
state, which had received a "tip" that suggested that some of the
children living on the compound were the victims of sexual abuse,
proceeded to remove hundreds of kids from the Ranch. In June,
photographer Stephanie Sinclair was given a rare opportunity to
document the daily lives of the sect. In this frame, Teresa Jeffs,
16, a daughter of FLDS founder Warren Jeffs, shows off some of her
best trampoline moves in a house they had moved into in
New Braunfels, Texas,
while the courts sorted through the complex legal issues presented
by the case.
