There were always 12. 10 foster kids in the house at all times, plus the two biological children of the Baker parents. 12 kids. All 12 kids would grow up to see some heinous things. It’s alleged that the Bakers would force the foster boys to molest the foster girls in their care. It’s said that the Bakers would even force brothers to inappropriately touch sisters under their direction. Victims came forward to say they were assaulted weekly by Mr. Baker, and they remember being starved as a fear tactic. Most of these kids came out of the foster home as survivors, but one, one child grew up to become the predator. One that would prey on victims where they might be the most vulnerable - the church.

She could have seriously hurt herself or even died… she was just thankful he was there to save her.Or that time she woke up covered in blood. He told her that he found her roaming around at night, in a daze, with a knife in her hand. He thinks she murdered someone…She started panicking. That’s exactly what he wanted.

He called it the “bear cave.” He liked the sound of it. Bears were unassuming predators… that kind of sounded like him.Inside his “bear cave” there was a desk, an inviting yellow beanbag, and of course, it was filled with snacks and sodas.Don’t forget his hidden condom box, a stack of porn magazines, and pillows hidden in a box that said “Christmas decorations.”The only really odd thing about his “cave?” - it was in the library of a local middle school.The teacher had been using it to sexually molest and rape dozens of middle school students.Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com
