Suspicions of ‘cult activity’ end in sex charges against Washington dad CHARGE: MAN, MOTHERS TAUGHT DOZEN CHILDREN TO HIDE ABUSE FROM POLICE Levi Pulkkinen, SeattlePI | May 26, 2015 5 Thrown together at an Ellensburg-area campground, the family’s campsite seemed all wrong.

I used to be an avid reader of the Herald. When I moved to everett 13 years ago, I subscribed to delivery and was a loyal reader for many years. I have found that as time goes on, I am finding myself more and more in awe at the bias of the stories written. Ive noticed that not only are the stories innaccurate and bias, but poorly organized.

And again, why didnt the writer get deeper into the thoughts or emotions of the people involved? I was there throughout most of the trial, with Andrew Spencers mother...
