I’ve been waiting years to have today’s guest on the show. Introducing: Cult and child abduction whistleblower, devoted father and husband, published writer and author, podcaster and host of his own YouTube channel @Iloveyoulikeone, child abuse advocate, independent researcher, avid reader, biker, gardener and farmer, animal caretaker, Dave Matthews Band concert-goer, coffee lover, and a man on a mission to expose evil and get his daughter emancipated from a satanic cult: Iain Bryson

A little bit about Iain and the harrowing story we will be diving into today:

In 2010, Iain’s first wife and their daughter traveled from their home in The Netherlands to his in-law's home in Poland for a visit on two different occasions. On both occasions, his first wife returned completely distraught, so different in nature that he questioned whether this might be her evil twin. On both occasions, their daughter returned with multiple signs and symptoms of having been abused. In December 2010, after their second return to their home from Poland, his first wife told Iain that her family was a "cult," that she was under "mind control," that she had "something like Stockholm Syndrome," that her "dad created a red herring" so that nobody would believe Iain when he tried to get help, that she was taking their daughter back to the cult in Poland, and that Iain would never see his wife or daughter again. On December 27th, 2010, Iain unknowingly said goodbye to them for the last time, giving his daughter a huge hug, thinking they were going to the library down the street. He has not seen his daughter since this moment. After realizing what had happened, Iain avidly tried to get help, but there was no acceptable response to his pleas. The Netherlands wouldn't even take a police report, the United States told him that it was out of their jurisdiction, and Poland was out of the question. Iain filed an international parental child abduction report with the U.S. Secretary of State for his abducted child under The Hague Abduction Convention, and they told him it could take up to two years for any legal action to occur. Iain remembers thinking, “This is not a missing car or stolen bicycle - this is my daughter”. After four months, he decided that he had to demand an investigation by placing himself in the middle of it all. Iain drove to Poland and assaulted his father-in-law in the street, thinking that this would lead to a child abuse investigation of his daughter. He miscalculated; there was no child abuse investigation. What actually ended up happening was that Iain ended up spending fifty months locked up and imprisoned in Poland. He was released in June 2015 and ever since, he has been on an urgent quest to being public awareness to his story in hopes that it will lead to freedom, justice, and a heave-sent reuniting for him and his daughter. Today, we get to hear his story.
