Investigations Lead to a Religious Cult | Law & Order

[@mikemesser4326]

I remember my Dad getting drawn into attending a church(?) (Scientology) session by his GF at the time. Naturally he dragged me along. Afterwards he asked me what I thought. I think he must have suspected "resistance" from me. I gave him a bewildered look and told him I wasn't really interested. (And I loved science ... and fringe science ... and science fiction.) We never went again.

[@coltonstillwell3590]

Sounds to me like you saved your father from getting involved in something bad before he got too deep in.

7:20 -- At the suggestion that their may have been some indefinite harm done to the baby that led to its death, the doctor implicitly rejects the idea, saying, "Detective, Lucas (the baby) died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, just like it says on the death certificate--signed by the medical examiner." No doctor in the world would say that. SIDS is a mystery phenomenon. It would be like saying, "We don't know what caused the baby's death, therefore it can't be what you are suggesting."

@Dave Privacy its a long story, but trust me, its funny and related. Just need some pretext. I grew up next to a famous paleontological dig site in Montana called makoshika (its also a state park). I lived by a few very famous museums. One was famous for having fossils on display while they got them prepared for other museums, like the Smithsonian. Fun fact, i actually got to see the nanotyrannus fossils the same year they found it. Id have to look into if they actually found out if it was or was not a tyrannosaurus. Thats neither here nor there though, im just being a nerd. There was another, who's primary focus was paleontology, Native American history, and why dinosaurs are only a few thousand to even a couple hundred years old. You see, what made this museum overshadow the makoshika museum, was the fact it was owned by somebody claiming dinosaurs had lived along side cowboys. Our school took a feildtrip there. Me, being the ignorant 11 year old that I was, asked why they claimed dinosaur were only a couple hundred years old. They literally said I was just stupid because of my age (keep in mind, i was 11, and my memory of that specific part is a bit blurry, so please take that part with a grain of salt.). They tried to teach me privately why they arent that old, so i had to stay behind for a couple minutes. I asked if our bones don't turn into rocks within a few thousand years, why do theirs? Its important to note, i was just a kid, and was asking out of genuine curiosity, not spite. She just huffed and let me go back to the rest of my class. An 11 year old kid outsmarted most of the middle-aged people working in that museum, and wasn't even trying to. I had learned the alphabet only 4 years prior to that. When thinking back on that day, I genuinely loose faith in humanity. I know our educational system has its problems, but it's not bad enough to justify that.

[@Rosemarie-YouTube-]

I can picture myself going to try to buy some cute, colorful frosted cupcakes or baked goods to make myself feel better but realizing it isn't going to help. Wondering how long I have been using sweets or other foods as a fast instant pick me up then spiral into thoughts of unhealthy eating habits & consumerism & binging being on an unhealthy list of things actively hurting myself I didn't see as harmful until I can't force myself to get it together or feel better..... Unfortunately I've been touched by suicide more times that I'll admit & it's not fair most happened when I was in 6th or younger grades, then again in 9th & 10th, them 11th. It causes idealization since you may not have thought of it as an option but so many adults I looked up to & respected used it so being a kid how could you not wonder if they were grown unable to get through what the heck makes people think I can as a child with fewer options of change with my environment..... Suicide really is 'contagious'....

He could just have asked if they offered it, saying he would be interested in a service like that if they have it instead of just blatantly saying "we know you do these things that recently killed a baby, please tell me more about it"

[@RLucas3000]

He and the lady (cop?) were really good, but you are right, he just said too much too quick. He should have just talked about wanting a healthy baby, let them bring up the detox as a tool to reel you into their program. Great idea, pretty good execution, but sloppy dismount.

There are so many ways to safely detox yourself and your baby. Its not just about the steam its also about the ingredients you add to the water like basil, mugwort, rosemary and lavender. It can actually be quite pleasant, and gives you a chance to spend time together to bond.

Spoilers: The husband did kill her, because he was so paranoid that he was convinced that the cult had brainwashed her into wanting to leave him. The cult has so much spookiness around it that the jurors refuse to deliberate, causing a mistrial. Cutter manages to get the husband to confess by playing on his paranoia.
