The original book was written in the 1970s. The original book is a manual on how to abuse your children and a list of excuses to tell the police and child protective services when they start asking questions. I and my two step brothers were raised by the instructions in the original book. Child protective services removed children from that house six different times from 1988-1998. I have gone no contact with both parents and most of my extended family because of that evil book. My younger brother has also gone no contact with both parents. I went no contact ten years ago, my younger brother went no contact eight years ago, but I just found out a couple of months ago because of limited contract with extended family.
