Possible FFing in Romania?

from dudu - Wednesday, March 17, 2004

I am a journalist working on a COG-related series of articles. I was alerted to a possible child abuse/FFing case in the area I live in and went to talk some people involved in this case.


Me and a friend of mine met the Crossmans, Family members in a town near my city. They tried to fool us into judging them by their "good fruit" and threatened me that unless I dropped the case God's anger and their lawyers would be upon us. They also gave us a large dossier about their humanitarian work and other PR stuff.


However, we were also able to discover their bad fruit. One local 13 year-old boy from an orphanage told us that he had been offered by an adult person (Family member) to have sex with one of his daughters. The accusation was confirmed the next day when the boy was confronted by the orphanage psychologist. This accusation comes as no surprise, as two of the minor girls living in Family member Tim Crossman's house (possibly his daughters) aged 15 and 17 are known to have had sexual relations with several men and boys, a fact that is denied by Tim Crossman and his wife, Renee.


One fact which was striking to me is that we sat in the Crossman’s living room and talked about accusations of child abuse and FFing and meanwhile, all their children, including the youngest, aged 4, were present. At one moment, when their daughter, aged 15, returned from her "evening walk", they even invited her to take a seat and listen to us about how a boy branded her 17 year-old sister a "blow-job champion".


When we turned to local authorities for support, they reacted strangely, by not helping us in any way, and even by trying to mislead us. Police found out there were two adults and five children living in the house, one of which had lost his papers; but when we visited them, there were three adults and five children, of which one adult and one child were not on the list they gave the Police. A couple of days later they declared the two unidentified persons as their oldest boy and his fiancé.


As I knew close to nothing about COG in the beginning I did a lot of reading on Sam Ajemian’s site, and later, in an e-mail, he recommended that I post an article on this site.


So, if you have any information about Timothy and Renee Crossman ("Tabitha" on thefamily.org), FCF actions in Romania, or any other Family-related activity in Romania, please reply to this article or contact me at



Thank you,
