Young-White said 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 is performing these ceremonies. When I discovered 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 his behalf, otherwise his “daughter will continue to be in the custody of drug abusing cult members instead of being with me, her father.”
Young-White additionally filed a “Petition to Determine Parental Relationship,” explaining in the documents that “Adeya was born through a home birth orchestrated by what I would describe as a cult that she belongs in.” He stated that since she was not born “in a conventional setting like a hospital, my name is not on Adeya’s birth certificate.”
Young-White is asking for a copy of Adeya’s birth certificate, for his name to be added to the document, to receive a copy of her social security number and to legally change name to Adeya Parrish-Young-White.
