Glue stick?


Used to abuse children? They hit kids with glue sticks? Am I hearing that right? The cc folk are hearing that too. I mean, horrendous but really odd weapon, no?

If I were walking across a dark parking lot at night, I wouldn’t say to myself “oh hey self, you’re going to be safe because you have an Elmer’s glue stick in your hand”. How does one even get a grip on something that stubby to flick at a robber?

I couldn't figure out if this was a documentary or a spoof so I googled.
It's real and Wikipedia article mentions foot long glue sticks two parents used to discipline their child. The child died, they went to prison for life and 'The Church' paid for their defense.
It's a funny, and sometimes very sick, old world.

Unfortunately this is a documentary about a real cult. Sickening.

I haven't seen this film, or heard of this person. I only happened to see this because its trending at the moment.

It is possible they are referring to a hot glue stick. Those can be found that are about 8 to 12 inches long and are a bit flexible. If you were hit by one being swung it would give a nasty sting.
