A Former Member of the JFK QAnon Cult Tried to Kidnap Her Own Children →

🔷”Despite everything, many of the former cult member’s online supporters believe her children were taken from her as part of a trafficking conspiracy.”
🔷”The family member, who spoke to VICE News on condition of anonymity to protect their privacy and safety, said Georgia’s Child Protective Services contacted the children’s father to discuss allegations of neglect, which is how the family first learned about the situation. But before anyone could intervene, Ricks packed up her car and fled to Texas, living in a tent before she arrived in Dallas. Her family said they called child protective services to tell them Ricks had left the state and was traveling with a gun.”
🔷”Then, in late October 2021, Ricks joined the JFK-QAnon cult where the group’s leader, Protzman, known to his followers as Negative 48, predicted JFK and JFK Jr. would rise from the dead. For over a month, Ricks and her two children stayed with the group. The group was holed up in hotels in downtown Dallas, and there were reports of drug use, all-night numerology sessions, and members drinking bleach from a communal bowl. Eventually, however, things soured. Ricks was ejected from the group, and members accused her of abusing drugs and alcohol, according to Telegram chats and text messages reviewed by VICE News.”
🔷”One woman, known in the group as NavyMom, volunteered to take Ricks and her two children into her home in El Reno, Oklahoma. “They were very malnourished. They looked like they ain’t seen the sun in months. They were white with dark circles around their eyes,” she told VICE News. “They would start screaming about some guy coming to get them.” It soon seemed that Ricks was once again abusing drugs; her host said that she had drugs and pills mailed to the house.” 
🔷”When the child protective service officers asked Ricks to produce evidence of homeschooling, Ricks wasn’t able to do so. “She doesn’t even know the difference between a letter and a number,” NavyMom said of the six-year-old girl.”
🔷”Another person Ricks sought out for help was Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer, an extremist who founded the Veterans on Patrol in Arizona, a group the Southern Poverty Law Center calls “an anti-government militia.” Meyer has claimed he has a network of safe houses around the country where he can house parents who have kidnapped their children, and came to prominence in March when he said that he had “granted sanctuary” to an Idaho mother who kidnapped her 3-year-old son from his father who had been granted full custody of the boy.”
🔷”Meyer told VICE News that he has been in communication with Ricks for months and that he was added to several chat groups on encrypted messaging platforms that were set up in July to organize the attempted kidnapping.”
