Family-Based Human Trafficking, Ritual Abuse, and Coercive Mind Control: One Father’s Fight for His Daughter – Iain Bryson

Iain Bryson’s daughter was taken fifteen years ago by his first wife and her family after she told him that her family was a “cult” and that she would be taking their daughter back to them because of “mind control.” In 2024, Iain Bryson published an evidence-based, documentary-style memoir about his daughter’s abduction.
