I suspect you do it the old fashioned way...you pay someone to kidnap them and bring them home.
Start with a private investigator and search for a deprogrammer.

If your child is truly involved in a cult you need to whatever you can to stop it before it is too late. You can lose someone for a very long time through brainwashing and influence. My first suggestion is you call a hospital or mental health center immediatley to identify what traits are causing you to believe someone is in a cult. Be it religious or centered on video games, it is the cause of many a sad parent who have worried about their children. And sometimes it has to be undone.
Someone speculated this could be a troll thing. I am not sure if that is the case here, but it sounds like if it is true, you need to be brave and move into action quickly before your son or daughter is lost to you forever.

Hi L.,

Just read your previous post...is your child in Ireland? If so, where?

Didn't you post something last week about the Jehovah's Witnesses being a cult? The questions were pulled so I apologize if it wasn't you, but I think it was. What's up with all the cult questions?
