The Anthill Kids: Faith, Fear, and Torture

Listener discretion is seriously advised for this one.This week we dive into the horrifying story of the Anthill Kids, the Canadian cult led by self-proclaimed prophet Roch Thériault. What began as a fringe religious group and “healthy living” clinic spiraled into isolation in the Quebec wilderness, forced polygamy, starvation, child abuse, and unimaginable torture carried out in the name of God.From botched “surgeries” on a kitchen table to the death of followers and children, Thériault’s reign of terror only escalated after multiple arrests failed to stop him. It would take a survivor with a severed arm to finally bring the nightmare to an end.This is the story of blind devotion, absolute control, and the brutality that can grow inside an isolated cult.💬 Text Ruby & Mel HERE!
