Well she had been conditioned to fear/submit to the authority of a priest, is that indoctrination? This Wetton guy would go around the US and the UK and start these schools with local churches, I think Catholic churches I'm not sure. But the mother didn't know about this sexual abuse at first, in fact only the kid victims/survivors knew. I don't understand the mothers fear or conditioning but I understand that some folks turn into spaghetti when forced to defend themselves, or children in this case.
I feel about this lady the same way I feel about program parents, I don't know whether to hate.... really dislike them or pity them. I think that religion stands on the head of a needle on the "cult" "not a cult" pendulum. Religion has power over a lot of people and if a person chooses to use it to take advantage of others you'll have nightmares like the stories Deborah linked to. I'm not saying that these women were members of a cult but the same dynamic was in play.
