This week on Cursewords and Crayons, we’re diving into the deeply disturbing case of the Ant Hill Kids—led by Roch Thériault, a self-proclaimed prophet with delusions of holiness, control issues from hell, and absolutely no business being in charge of anyone.

What started as a small religious commune quickly spiraled into isolation, manipulation, abuse, and the kind of unchecked power that makes you want to scream into a couch cushion. We talk doomsday beliefs, forced devotion, survival, failed systems, and how one man convinced people to follow him straight into a nightmare.

This one is heavy, infuriating, and wildly upsetting—so consider this your warning: the Ant Hill Kids case is not for the faint of heart.
