## Resource

How does a self-proclaimed prophet brainwash families into giving up their young daughters as wives? Chanley Painter is joined by former law enforcement officer and "Profiling Evil" creator Mike King to expose the dark reality of Samuel Bateman. Together, they unpack how Bateman exploited a power vacuum within the FLDS empire, coerced complete families into absolute obedience, and hid young victims until a dramatic 2022 traffic stop blew his secret worldwide open.
