Six members of a Kansas-based cult have been convicted in a scheme to house children in overcrowded, rodent-infested facilities and force them to work up to 16 hours a day without pay while subjecting them to beatings and other abuse. The victims, some as young as eight, endured inhumane conditions like drinking water from toilets and being held over train tracks. The leader, Royall Jenkins, convinced followers he was shown to rule Earth by aliens. Prosecutors revealed the group's businesses used unpaid labor from members and their children. The case involves severe child labor exploitation, strict control, and punishments including threats of eternal damnation.
