Abuse within "The Family"
Also, we find out about a controversial religious group called "The Family International", also once known as "Children of God". It was created in the 1960s by David Berg. Though he died in 1994, the group still has thousands of members on several continents. A documentary recently shown on British television investigates the story of Ricky Rodriguez, once seen as David Berg's chosen successor and tries to explain why he killed himself after murdering another member of The Family. Two former members of the group, Sarah and Don, tell Outlook why they think what they claim is institutionalised sexual abuse is the reason behind Ricky's actions. A spokeswoman for the group finally tells us why they deny these allegations.
