Child abuse and biblical racism within the 12 tribes cult

Within the 12 tribes cult, child abuse and racism are prevalent. The cult leader, Jean Spriggs, promotes severe forms of punishment for disobedience, including beatings and isolation. Children are often abused within the cult, and reports of sexual abuse are not taken seriously. Cult members are discouraged from seeking medical care, leading to the death of some children. Spriggs' racist beliefs are rooted in biblical interpretations, claiming that black people are descendants of Ham and are destined to be slaves. The cult enforces strict gender roles and bans co-ed education, leading to cases of bestiality among young members. Allegations of child sexual abuse are often covered up by the cult leadership.
