This is typical of the Mormon church. They can brainwash children more easily, without the parents being there. I never saw any parent attend their child's primary class, or even read the manual, and the Primary was teaching the kids that if they didn't Neo Nazi their parents into getting married in the temple, their family would be separated for eternity.
The Mormons used to call tithing "burn insurance" (chuckle-chuckle-snort), and even the children were taught that everyone would burn in the second coming--except for the most obedient Mormons. They taught kids to pay tithing on their chore money.
Parents were not allowed to attend the girls' summer camp--except for a few leaders, and the bishop, who would come and speak to the girls at one of their very emotional, tearful testimony meetings. My daughter was actually, physically FORCED to bear her testimony--chased through the woods and carried back to the campfire benches. My daughter's grandfather died, when she was at Mormon camp. She had to catch a flight the next day, to attend the funeral. I was still TBM, and respected, but had to ask three different sources, before someone finally gave me directions to the camp. All of them warned me not to go there, that parents were not allowed. When I got there, I was treated like an invader. It was dark when I got there, and I interrupted their sacred campfire meeting, to take my daughter aside and talk to her. Actually, several adults approached my car, before I had a chance to get out, and tell me to leave! My daughter was shocked to see me, and knew it must be an emergency, yet she told me she couldn't leave the testimony meeting, and she couldn't get up off the bench, and walk away from the group to talk to me. It was almost as if she was in a trance, and I had to be very stern with her. I got her to walk away to the camp, to the car. I told her everything, and that we had to leave right away, to drive the 2 1/2 hours home. She looked frightened, and told me that she couldn't leave camp, no one was allowed to leave camp and that everyone would be mad, and that I had to go. I told her to sit with me, quietly, and think about her grandpa, and consider her brothers, and her grandmother, and how important her family was to her. In a few minutes, she agreed to go with me. I said I would tell the leaders she was leaving, and help her pack, and she acted frightened, and said I couldn't go back to the camp. After about an hour of driving in silence over dark, rough roads, my daughter said, "I'm glad you came to get me. I was wanting to leave so much, that I prayed to God to have me leave--and you came to get me!"
Bednar will threaten those kids. Fear is a huge part of Mormon brainwashing. The Mormons "use the name of God in vain" by telling children that God will will not love them, God will withdraw His blessings, and God will punish them, unless they are obedient to TSCC. Blasphemy, fear, and lies.
TSCC tries to usurp the role of parent. I was a single mother, and the Mormon priesthood men tried to do this all the time. They were real bullies.
