Poems For A Gift Basket

Esclaves du XX ème siècle : les enfants in sects


Chantal Tokatlian emerged from a sect, it is now a journalist. How had she met? Quite simply, a leaflet found in his mailbox. The same chance can lead a loved one, a frail teenager in a haven where all is peace of mind and heart, at least according to the texts of the brochures or the followers of cults in charge of proselytizing.
Chantal Tokatlian has not taken too long to realize that the sect was in fact a totalitarian universe.
Appalled, she noted the plight of children, reduced to nothing, little or no education, malnourished and not cared for - will provide for the Guru! - Treated as a convenient labor and often as sex objects.
With his mind lucid and thoroughly independent, she managed to escape the trap.

But contact with this strange and evil gave him the desire to investigate the different sects in France, Europe and worldwide, and particularly the plight of children within them.



The result of this "journey" is as crazy as revolting.
