Unfortunately, claiming religious exemption means a parent can fly under the radar ab*sing their chiIdren. Misty now fights back, on a mission to help chiIdren in similar situations, stuck in ab*sive environments, that have no voice. Misty has created a petition called \"Child Rights Act\" that she hopes will one day become a bill, asking congress to step up and protect these voiceless chiIdren locked in cults. Currently at 33,000+ signatures, she hopes that with your help, in signing, and sharing this video / petition, she can gather enough signatures to get the attention of congress and get this bill passed.    \n\nSign petition here:  Http://www.Change.org/childrightsact \n\n\n<a href=\"https://youtu.be/wNzELfWNiUA\" target=\"_blank\">Watch her original interview</a>\n\nFind and Support Misty!\nBuy her book <a href=\"https://amzn.to/49c2Qst\" target=\"_blank\">\"Tears of the Silenced\"</a>\nIG <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/mistyelainegriffin?igsh=NzBmMjdhZWRiYQ==\" target=\"_blank\">@mistyelainegriffin</a>\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100067656562700&amp;mibextid=LQQJ4d\nWebsite: <a href=\"https://www.mistygriffin.com\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.mistygriffin.com</a></p>\n<p>Support C2C - Any donations are welcome and appreciated to support the making of this podcast.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://cults-to-consciousness-shop.fourthwall.com/en-usd\" target=\"_blank\">Our Merch!</a></p>\n<p>Patreon:<a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/cultstoconsciousness\" target=\"_blank\"> Patreon.com/cultstoconsciousness</a></p>\n<p>Venmo @sheliseann</p>\n<p>Website <a href=\"https://www.sheliseannsola.com/\" target=\"_blank\">CultsToConsciousness.com</a></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Find Shelise on Social media!</p>\n<p>Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/cultstoconsiousness\" target=\"_blank\">@cultstoconsciousness</a></p>\n<p>Host Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/sheliseann/\" target=\"_blank\">@sheliseann</a></p>\n<p>TikTok<a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@cults.to.consciousness\" target=\"_blank\"> @cults.to.consciousness</a></p>\n<p>Twitter <a href=\"https://twitter.com/cultstocon\" target=\"_blank\">@cultstocon</a></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Chapter Marks\n00:01:13 Intro\n00:02:52 How to help/get involved with the Child Rights Act\n00:03:24 What is the goal of the Childs Rights Act?\n00:04:41 How mandated reporters help prevent ab*se\n00:08:13 What Misty's chiIdhood in the Amish was like\n00:13:32 The control and isolation Misty experienced as a chiId\n00:23:45 Misty's education and homeschooling experience\n00:28:18 How Misty's parents evaded any government interference while homeschooling\n00:30:42 Misty joins the Amish and witnesses the perpetual ab*se in the community\n00:39:41 How the Child Rights Act addresses the right to religious freedom\n00:48:59 Is the problem really bad enough for a federal law?\n00:52:32 What is means to take action and make real change</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Theme Song Produced and Composed by Christian Guevara</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>**Disclaimer: Thanks for joining us at Cults to Consciousness.
