What are we talking about?
A minority or unusual belief does not in itself constitute a drift. The danger appears with pressures, hardship, imposed breaks, attacks and exploitation.
Which deserves to stop and check
- Authority presented as unquestionable.
- Progressive isolation of family, friends or external sources.
- Increasing or opaque financial demands.
- Intimate confessions used to blame or control.
- Spiritual, medical or social threats in case of departure.
The right reflexes

- 2
Maintain a calm connection with the person concerned.
- 3
Avoid a brutal confrontation if it increases the danger.
- 4
Contact the Miviludes or a specialized association.
