728. Twelve Tribes sect

This cult located in Germany was the center on an investigation and the courts have ruled that the children should be moved into foster care in order to protect them from the violent environment inside the cult.

Children were beaten on regular basis – even small children. The authorities intervened and removed the children.

It could not have been fun to be there as a child.
