I finally got Pablo Escobar Grant's book. Truly hilarious, and it explains a good deal. When pedddling All About Receiving Cash, Escobar-Grant refers frequently to his average middle-class upbringing. His family emmigrated from South Africa, and his Dad, who was no stranger to cults, left. His "Mum" was into rebirthing (that practise ranks among the more foolish I have ever seen), and his step-father, after visitng Kids, decided child torture was great. So much for just an average kid until the "disease" consumed him. And, as has been the case with every AARC victim I have seen so far, the mother just loved the Speedy Creek Pervert. His step-dad was partly to blame for the Wizard getting his troglodyte fingers on the Rotary Club money. Why is it that Escobar-Grant and Mrs. Natalie Oldcomer went into the "Adolescent" treatment center at 21? Oh right, their mothers were willing to fork over the money.
The Wiz is very much like the psychopath with whom I had to deal. He's ignorant and not very well-spoken, but he can sway a particular type of victim, in this case females with troublesome children, and he instinctively maneuvers to bring down his prey.
