Worse and worse

The information coming out in this case is worse than originally thought. Looks like another wacky abusive homeschooling large family situation.

Hana's parents used the same

Hana's parents used the same materials that the Schatz family used. Lydia Schatz died of her beatings. Her sister Zariah was hospitalized.

Many adopters use the "sage"

Many adopters use the "sage" advice of the Pearls.  They should be added to PPL as one of the many sick connections of adoption.

Pearls of wisdom?

Obviously we agree, as some information about the couple has already been added.  

If there is more information, or more articles written about Michael and Debi Pearl, please send them our way.  I believe it's essential that other APs see and read how easy it is to be grossly misled and misguided by those who seem to preach all the right answers.   No child deserves such brutal treatment, and parents who go this far with "training" their child should be held accountable, and re-trained, themselves.
