Are Cult Awareness Network (CAN) Actions Justified?

Was the Cult Awareness Network working as Deprogrammers or Kidnappers?
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeO_7EoE7YEjNoZXUS0oyEw/join

In this eye-opening video, we explore into the controversial practices surrounding the Cult Awareness Network (CAN). Established with the noble intention of helping individuals ensnared by cults, CAN's methods often involved a process known as deprogramming. But what exactly is deprogramming? Is it a legitimate intervention aimed at rescuing individuals from coercive control, or does it cross ethical boundaries into outright kidnapping?

Join us as we explore the history of CAN, from its early days as a resource for families desperate to rescue loved ones from cults to its eventual bankruptcy and acquisition by a group accused of employing aggressive deprogramming tactics. We examine firsthand accounts from former members, families, and critics to provide a balanced perspective on whether deprogramming was a necessary intervention or a violation of human rights.

This video raises critical questions about freedom of belief, the limits of intervention, and the ethics of combating coercive groups. Whether you're interested in psychology, ethics, or simply curious about the complexities of religious and ideological coercion, this video offers a thought-provoking examination of the Cult Awareness Network and its legacy.
