The motto of this cult is "Unseen. Unknown. Unheard." They managed to remain hidden for decades and were controlled by a woman claiming to be the female reincarnate of Jesus Christ. She ran this cult for 30 years. She abused the medical system, committing people to psychiatric hospitals without their consent and forcing them to have unethical medical procedures, as well as stealing babies from pregnant women and raising them as her own.She would severely abuse these stolen children for twenty years. She drugged adults and children and manipulated them into giving away their money. She had connections in politics, hospitals, and the education system, and this all was allegedly so she could have the perfect family.This is the story of one of the most evil women in Australian history, Anne Hamilton Byrne and her cult, also known as The Family.
