New Investigation in the works...
The FACT Team is investigating allegations made against an international church for monetary exploitation of members, slave labor, fraud, and other abuses.
Numerous complaints received by our organization list in detail the high-control environment intended to isolate church members from family and friends and control their behavior. Members are also forced to live in subpar conditions and constantly eat very low calorie meals, even when working hard labor for 8-12 hours a day. One church member has already fainted as a result of malnourishment and needed to be hospitalized, while another has recently attempted suicide.
At this time we cannot divulge the name of this church but will provide updates as our investigation develops. Stay tuned...

FAITH-HEALING BILL ADVANCES TO IDAHO SENATE
Progress is being made in Idaho:
"Legislation that would tweak Idaho's laws allowing families to cite religious reasons for medical decisions without fear of being charged with neglect or abuse is headed to the Idaho Senate. The proposal would amend only Idaho's civil laws to make it easier for judges to get involved in faith-healing cases. The bill does not change the state's religious exemption regarding criminal charges, which is considered the most contentious part of the religious waiver."
"Focus on the exemption has exploded recently Idaho as more attention has been placed on the deaths of children among members of the Followers of Christ — based in southwestern Idaho — from treatable conditions, including pneumonia and food poisoning."
A step in the right direction.

Pastor Rocky Hemphill Investigation
FACT is involved with the investigation of a Pastor named Rocky Hemphill located in Hattiesburg, MS, that is believed to be abusing minors sexually, mentally and physically. We believe that our efforts will shut down this so called pastor and his church, expose his exploitation and abuse of children and hopefully bring justice to the alleged victims.
If you have any relevant information to share regarding Rocky Hemphill or his group, please contact our office immediately at: http://ow.ly/ua8p30a5Ts1
