The Family International is a cult that was formed by David Berg and Karen Zerby. They attracted members by "Flirty Fishing" which was a fancy term for having sexual relationships with people in order to get them to follow their way of life. This case Lacy will discuss the cult but. also focus on three of the children who were used as experiments for sexual abuse within the family. Davidito or Ricky Rodriguez was the child of Karen Zerby who they deemed "the prophet" and he starting enduring sexual abuse at 10 months old. A book was published along with letters to teach the rest of the members how to raise their children.
