Breaking from the F.L.D.S. Part 1
Members of one community on the border of Utah and Arizona are forced to deal with the pain of being parted from their loved ones by the bizarre orders of their all-powerful leader. The restrictions this so-called prophet places on his followers are so severe some have even called the sect the American Taliban. Outsiders are not welcome in their world, but ABC's Amy Robach traveled inside to learn more about the Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saints.

We now return to the story of Warren Jeffs' Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saints. 18-year-old Willy Steed was a member of Jeffs' sect in Colorado City, until he was banished by the self-proclaimed prophet. Growing up as a member of the F-L-D-S Church, the outside world is a foreign place for Willy, but as ABC's Amy Robach explains, there are organizations to help people like him.
