Child neglect and unconventional upbringing

The Finders cult raised their children collectively, resulting in neglect and an unconventional upbringing. The children were often neglected and left to their own devices, with some men in the cult shirking their parental responsibilities. The children were given an eclectic education, depending on the adults around them, and were raised communally. Babies were born into the cult and were told that all the men in the cult were their fathers, leading to further neglect as the responsibility for raising the children fell on unprepared adults. The children were often seen hollering and screaming, and were not provided with sufficient care or attention.
