Recent reports have surfaced that the Unification Church student organization is actively seeking out students who appear to be on the verge of conversion and, without informing their parents, relocating them to a new area. This organization has been reducing adult guidance and taking time to plant their own ideas in order to increase their followers. The Unification Church was founded by Sun Myung Moon in 1954 as a religious movement. It is known for its mass weddings and teachings which are based on traditional Christian values but also incorporate elements of Korean shamanism. The church's mission is to bring about world peace through inter-religious understanding and cooperation. The student organization appears to be using this mission as an excuse to target vulnerable students who may be open to conversion. Reports suggest that they are telling these students, “Cut ties with your parents; we will provide you with a place to live” in order to lure them away from home. It is unclear what other tactics they may be using, but it appears that they are attempting to isolate these individuals from any outside influence so that they can more easily indoctrinate them into their beliefs. This type of behavior should not be tolerated or encouraged in any way. Parents should remain vigilant and look out for signs that their children may be targeted by this group or any other similar organizations. If you believe your child may have been approached by such an organization, it is important that you contact the authorities immediately so that appropriate action can be taken against those responsible for this potentially dangerous activity.
