She was the 11th of her abusIve father’s 57 biological children and 2nd of her mother’s thirteen children and it was from that moment on that Pamela held one single belief:&nbsp; She existed for one reason and one reason only,&nbsp; to be her eventual husband’s handmaid and to bear him as many children as possible.&nbsp; Fast forward to age 10, Pamela was forced out of school to help her mom care for her 12 children,&nbsp; giving her nothing more than a fifth-grade education.</p><p>At age 15, Pamela married David Lebaron, the grandson of cult founder Alma Dayer LeBaron Jr.&nbsp; and was pregnant 17 times in 18 years. After 9 childbirths and 8 miscarriages, Pamela felt she had enough children to make it to heaven, a fundamentalist belief. One day, she awoke her nine children to escape the neglect and ab*se from her husband, and make their way to the United States to start a new life.</p><p><a href=\"https://youtu.be/BSaOV12BC1M\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to watch on YouTube</a></p><p><a href=\"https://youtu.be/nvK5L8Qsrcs?si=b_k3JYRCCg01S_qx\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Watch part 2 of Pamela’s interview</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/live/f64zDdzpRJ4?si=7oz4jMFtrzHBV8AD\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Watch part 3 with Pamela and her daughters</a></p><p>Find Pamela!</p><p>Pamela’s website: <a href=\"http://www.pamelaspeaks.live\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.Pamelaspeaks.live</a></p><p>Pamela’s book:&nbsp; The Dirt Beneath Our Door <a href=\"https://www.pamelaspeaks.live/book\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.pamelaspeaks.live/book</a></p><p>Pamela’s Podcast:&nbsp; Wicked Confessions Uncensored</p><p><a href=\"https://www.wickedconfessionsuncensored.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.wickedconfessionsuncensored.com/</a></p><p>Subscribe to our<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@CultstoConsciousnessClip\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> C2C \"CLIPS\" Channel!</a></p><p>Support C2C - Any donations are welcome and appreciated to support the making of this podcast.</p><p><a href=\"https://cults-to-consciousness-shop.fourthwall.com/en-usd\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Find our FULL (uncensored) merch store here!</a></p><p>Patreon <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/cultstoconsciousness\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.patreon.com/cultstoconsciousness</a></p><p>Venmo @sheliseann</p><p>Find us on Social media!</p><p>Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/cultstoconsciousness\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@cultstoconsciousness</a>&nbsp;</p><p>Host Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/sheliseann/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@sheliseann&nbsp;</a></p><p>Co Producer / Host <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/jonathan.rosales_\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@jonathan.rosales_&nbsp;</a></p><p>TikTok <a href=\"http://cults.to.consciousness\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@cults.to.consciousness&nbsp;</a></p><p>Twitter <a href=\"https://twitter.com/cultstocon\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@cultstocon</a>&nbsp;</p><p>**Disclaimer: Thanks for joining us at Cults to Consciousness.
