Just a question, would raising a 6 year old to believe that he is the reincarnation of the Buddha be considered child abuse? If so, why wouldn't the FBI put the child/family in witness protection if there was a sect of people conspiring to abuse this child?

Because they are forcing a child into a lifetime job position which they have no understanding of or ability to give informed consent, ripping them away from their family and an ability to have a normal childhood or life

Hmmm. They're ripped away from their families ? do we know how it is experienced by the families ?

Grooming, friendo, its grooming.

Grooming means targeting youth somehow ? I thought it had sexual overtones. Is there a sexual component in the process ? WP's disambiguation page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groom_(disambiguation)#Grooming) lists this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_grooming

From that article :

Before the term "grooming" was associated with grooming a child for sexual abuse, it had come to have a meaning of mentorship, coaching, or preparing someone for leadership.

This is what you're referring to ?

30 years ago today, Gedhun Choekyi Nyima was rescued by the Chinese government from a cult at age six.

Despite claims by terrorist organizations that he was kidnapped instead of rescued, the cult's leader, a known pedophile and terrorist collaborator, confirms through his own information networks the child - now a grown man - is safe, grew up with a normal education, and is living his own life as a free anonymous citizen.

Forty-one years ago, on May 23, 1984, Dr. H.W. Jones Jr. kidnapped and forcibly removed hundreds of Mayaporian children from a work experience enrichment camp run by respected religious leader Mola Ram.
