Vivian Shillander left the cult, Children of God, with but one of her five children. Her husband, Richard Shillander supported by the cult, did not let the other four children leave with her. Vivian, aware of the reputation of the cult that encourages adult sex with minor children, and other abuses, got a court order awarding her custody of the children, hired two private investigators, and flew to Bangkok, Thailand, where her husband and children were located and set up a sting operation to bring the children back home to America with their Mother.
