It's 4th Tuesday, time to talk about adult children of cults. From Children of God, the Family International, let's review the story of Davidito. "I've fainted in my mind and I can't find the smelling salts to wake up" Davidito aka Ricky Rodriguez stated on a video before his murder suicide. Dito made a video in 2005 before his last acts on earth. He wanted to make a statement for all the abused children in Children of God, the Family International. His video may still be seen via http://xfamily.org. There is a lot of info there, and it's very informative.I also use https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/children-of-god-cult-messiah-chosen-one-182272/ to flesh out the story. How did this happen right on our soil? How is it still going on? Here is the story.
