what happened with amber alert?!I calculated his aged based on the amber alert from 2018 where he was described as being 30. Could be inaccurate

He does NOT look 33, he looks like he's in his late teens, at most! Still, if he took his child away he's one to stay away from."The boy" is 33 years old... Which can work under certain circumstances but is just even more creepy given the context.
someone posted a screenshot of a conversation with him on the Facebook page and he admitted he had a son but not that he abducted him, so would imagine it is him
Somebody shared this, could still be another person.
this whole saga just gets more and more bizarresomeone posted a screenshot of a conversation with him on the Facebook page and he admitted he had a son but not that he abducted him, so would imagine it is him
what if they say it’s tainas baby??We still haven't really found out whether Cleo is pregnant or not. I guess we'll know soon enough.
I swear I thought about this too, especially when they only shown her shadow.. but now I doubt she iswhat if they say it’s tainas baby??
The airport blog was taken a month ago so she would have only been 3 months then and much less likely to be showing.I swear I thought about this too, especially when they only shown her shadow.. but now I doubt she is
pregnant. In the airport vlog she doesn't look bloated or anything and at 4 months (as stated by the husband) I think it would show a tiny bit.
Either they made her to have an abortion in Sidney or haven't been pregnant at all (more likely)
Taina by the way said she wanted to have 10 kids by the time she is married for 20 years..so 11 would be too imperfect in her crazy world
You're right! To be fair the fact she arrived in those grey joggers might be suspicious, nothing wrong with traveling in something comfy( I'm all for it) but I Cleo frequently wears jeans even at home and always outside..then Taina made her change for the sake of the video ( and if I'm thinkin this way maybe to prove us wrong, like look people she fits in her skinny jeans, no baby here)The airport blog was taken a month ago so she would have only been 3 months then and much less likely to be showing.
The thing is, when you're raised in that environment, brought up cloaked in a cultlike doomsday religion and it's almost all you know, it's very very hard to break free of it. It can also be extremely dangerous to speak out and express your own opinion when you're dealing with manipulative (and I do believe they are highly manipulative) people like Taina and her husband that very much live in an alternate reality of their own creation. Cleo and Jerusalem are both adults, but they are still quite young and likely still pretty dependent on Taina. Neither of them are in university. The only one who seems to have divorced himself from the family and is living on his own is the older Leonardo, and it's unclear even with him how much he still follows the religion/how much it effects him other than him and his wife being open Christians. All I know is they married very very young (likely arranged by Tania) and barely knew each other prior to the marriage."What fascinates me most is how all the followers were easily pursuaded, and brainwashed by these nuts. And they weren't all unintelligent people."
It's very strange, isn't it! EG of the older children, who are clearly intelligent - Cleo has always seemed a little 'odd' to me, smiley but nervous and rather robotic on film (as do some of the others) as if performing from a script - but Jerusalem! he seems such a normal, rather amusing, down-to-earth chap and NOT scripted when he speaks and I thought perhaps he of them all wouldn't go along with the fanatical religious aspect (Taina taking them all round some caves and explaining loudly to the children that the guide was LYING when he said the earth was millions of years old) - and yet there he was, in the quarantine hotel, reading his Bible.
Agreed: Of all the children, Cleopatra appears nervous a lot. Could be the fact that a lot of people are watching, or maybe she knows anything could happen (Good or Bad) with unpredictable Taina."What fascinates me most is how all the followers were easily pursuaded, and brainwashed by these nuts.

I got the impression that they were all (the children) seriously into some sort of music career, especially Cleopatra.The thing is, when you're raised in that environment, brought up cloaked in a cultlike doomsday religion and it's almost all you know, it's very very hard to break free of it.

Not sure if it's entirely true, but I read somewhere that college/university is free in Australia. When you have a big family (even small) this is great news! I would take advantage of it even if I didn't need it, because you never know how things will be, and it's something to fall back on. Also, I think Taina's children are pretty smart, and have so much potential: they can do anything with their lives. I hope they aren't so controlled by their parents that they let go of their dreams.I read that in Finland, children who don't do well academically can switch to vocational education at about 14. I think this is what hapened to Tania's older children. Cleopatraand Romeo dropped out and I don't think the younger children have had much schooling at all either in school or at home.
Yeah, I noticed. I'm a little obsessive compulsive too, but I'm doing better. I think it can drive people around them crazy at times!In one of the YouTube videos they were putting shopping away and Cleopatra was getting anxious about the order and things having to be in the correct place etc. Taina pointed it out too.
The problem is that Taina herself has OCD and is proud of it...that's why everything has to be so neat.Not sure if it's entirely true, but I read somewhere that college/university is free in Australia.

Don't know much about homeschooling. Is it really as good as they say? I'm not convinced. I think tutors would be needed for certain subjects.
