In the latest episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Tony and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott delve into the dark and often blurred lines between religious freedom and outright abuse. They discuss a recent horrific event in California where a child was killed during an exorcism by a group with extreme Pentecostal beliefs. The conversation spirals into a broader discussion on the dangers of unchecked religious groups, especially in isolated rural areas where bizarre practices often go unchallenged. Shavaun provides insight into the psychological profile of individuals who fall prey to these beliefs, highlighting a predisposition towards magical thinking and paranoia. The episode starkly portrays the challenge of intervening in such groups due to the protections afforded by "religious freedom" and examines the tragic consequences that can result from societal reluctance to question or regulate these groups.
