How did Warren Jeffs become the leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (FLDS) and how did he lead the community?

Warren Jeffs began helping his father, FLDS leader Rulon Jeffs, as Rulon Jeffs’s health declined from a series of strokes. Warren Jeffs was principal of the Alta Academy, a private school for the FLDS community near Sandy, Utah, from 1976 to 1998. When his father died in 2002, Jeffs succeeded him as prophet and president. Jeffs enforced stricter regulations on the community, controlled the arrangement and reassignment of the community’s plural marriages, excommunicated younger male members, imposed strict dress codes, and prohibited television, movies, fictional books, and popular music.
