Synopsis
Child abuse, prostitution and incest are just some of the charges levelled against David Berg's controversial Children Of God cult.
The Padilla family only broke free after 18 years of devotion. They endured the death of their eldest daughter, due to the cult's 'no medication' beliefs, and the abuse of another by a cult member. They also took part in 'flirty fishing' trips which involved picking up men in bars for sex in the hope of converting them.

Finally, disillusioned when refused access to daughter Miriam, Sylvia Padilla escaped to live a more normal life.



Present-day members, however, deny the Padillas' accusations and the organisation is still flourishing under a new name, The Family. Witness investigates the truth.
