Gentle Christian Mothers Community - View Single Post - Pearl Advice Leads to Death--The Reporter Answered Me

When we heard about the child's death and that the mother was following Pearl's advice, some of us wrote the reporter, Mandy Locke, about it. I have received an answer from her. Here is her email:

Bobbie,
Thanks for writing.
This is such a sad story.
Are you familiar with any other specific situations in which the Pearls guidance led a mom or dad to severely abuse the
children?

Okay girls.......now what? I really can't answer her question. If you know of any situations, would you please write her at:
mlocke@newsobserver.com

I will go ahead and respond back to her letter but I just haven't been around long this community or other parenting sites enough to have first hand/acturate knowledge of this. We've got our foot in the door, so now we need to spread this around and give this reporter the information she is needing. Whatever we give her needs to be first hand ("I saw this/experienced this) or second hand, at the most, type of info or you have seen another article in your newspaper or magazine that you know that the parents are using Pearl teachings.

Let's get our facts together and email Mandy. Maybe we can do something to stop the Pearls and Ezzos.
