You know, all is not lost. What they are looking for is people who cannot be duped now, not people who made mistakes in the past or come from people who made mistakes. Let's hope the chance comes up for your son to explain his and your past. Recently, a guy called me who needed to get his real estate license and thought he needed an attorney to plead his case with the real estate commissioner. He had committed a couple of misdemeanours in the past. I told him to write a very truthful letter to the commissioner about how "that was then and this is now." He wrote a fantastic letter and I edited it so it flowed properly and three weeks later, he emailed me to say he had his license. Maybe your son can just say the truth - that in the beginning the cult was very idealistic but turned sour and you got out and took all your kids (except one) and created a whole new life for yourself and now you are actively involved in helping others get out. I mean, he might be able to really turn this around and use it to make himself look good. Let's hope and pray the interviewer is willing to discuss it. If he is, your son has a chance.
