Young-White claimed in the documents that the cult leader “performs ‘religious ceremonies’ on our daughter. However, no one is allowed to be in the room when he performs these ceremonies. When I found out about this on her birthday in 2023, I was physically restrained and threatened by members of the ‘cult’ when I attempted to retrieve our daughter.”
Young-White is asking the court to intervene on her behalf, otherwise her “daughter will continue to be placed in the custody of drug-abusing cult members instead of being with me, her father.”
Young-White also filed a “Petition to Determine Parental Relationship,” explaining in the documents that “Adeya was born via a home birth orchestrated by what I would call a cult that she belongs to.” She said that because she was not born “in a conventional setting such as a hospital, my name is not on Adeya’s birth certificate.”
Young-White is asking for a copy of Adeya’s birth certificate, to have her name added to the document, to receive a copy of her Social Security number, and to legally change her name to Adeya Parrish-Young-White.
