Wow, never heard that before. Good on her.
Yikes.
I had heard about her moving her children to Ireland to get away from the drugs, but not about the Manson connection.
Smart lady, they were paying attention and took action. They did well.
Absconded isn’t the right word.
I thought DiCaprio and Pitt torched and fed to the dogs the Manson family’s hit squad that night.
Interesting story.
Read later.
Nice spin trying to make her sound like a good parent.
However, if your kid joins the Manson cult, you probably dropped the ball. Also, it takes pretty good connections to keep it out of the news.
Smart parents
Whaaaat?
Well done.
It was crazy times. She protected her child from disaster. That makes a good mom….no matter what you think
You didn’t have to be a bad or neglectful parent to lose a child to a cult back in the day. I had a cousin who was attracted to the Moonies and joined them. He was a good kid, but naive and idealistic. They had him for a few years until he worked his way up in the organization to where he saw how the money was really being spent.
“You didn’t have to be a bad or neglectful parent to lose a child to a cult back in the day.”
I can see your point. But cults exist because people get something they aren’t getting at home. That’s the direct pipeline. Moonies used “love bombing” techniques which infers a lack of something important at home. Neglect can take many forms.
I was lucky. My conservative parents didn’t dropped the ball. But they won’t get the praise that Lansbury’s “parenting” gets here for some reason.
“Wow” was exactly my response too. Two names I never expected to see in the same sentence.
That’s a good story about Angela...who I once thought was a great person and actress, but she became a devoted LEFTIE, and I find that hard to accept.
Unfortunately, she didn’t become one, he inherited it. Her grandfather was the leader of the Labour party when she was a girl, and he was a socialist. She never really had a chance as far as that goes.
I should have said as well her father was a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain, but he died when she was only nine.
