Episode 6: Bad Grandpa


Listen Later

It wasn't only the media that were now paying attention to the Children of God survivors, so were the authorities.


In this episode, we hear from Mary Mahoney, who joined the Children of God when she was just 16 years old and raised eight children under the reign of David Berg, until she found the strength to escape.


This is Bad Grandpa.


WARNING: This series contains descriptions of abuse against minors, sexual abuse, suicide and murder. Whilst the descriptions are not explicit, please take extra care whilst listening.
