It isn't just television, it is God, religion, wearing certain colors/styles, the style of your hair, what music you listen to, the way you think, what you read, how you speak, what your education level is, your sense of self, if you are a boy or a girl - it penetrates EVERYTHING. The physical and sexual abuse is the tip of the iceberg. The psychological damage is sever and radiates into every piece of your mind, body and soul. Depending on the ages of the children, for that matter everyone, with exception for the leadership of this sect, they all will have the same issues and their age will determine how much of this insanity has soaked in. I am unsure if any state agency could handle this many children with these issues. They will need a lot of assistance and many understanding families in order to not further traumatize these children. I grew up in something similar, although, thankfully, my whole family got out.
