Some are called 39。 ultrafundamentalist39。 groups. The estimates估计 varied greatly. The number could be as high as two thousand. These organizations have different purposes and beliefs, but usually have one thing in monstrong leadership, quite often one person. Four years ago in October at a fundamentalist Christian mune in West Virginia, a young boy died after a paddling涉水 session集会 that lasted for two  hours. The child was spanked打 by his parents. He had hit another child and refused to say he was sorry. We reported the story of that paddling the story of the Stonegate Community in November of 1982. Since that time, Stonegate leader has been tried and convicted证明、有罪, one of the first times a leader of a religious group has been held responsible for the actions of a member. Also in that time the parents of the child have served jail监狱 terms, and now they have agreed to tell their story.The Stonegate Commune was near Charleston, West Virginia, in the northeast corner of the state. It39。 s mostly farming country. The Stonegate members lived outside of town in an old white Victorian house, overlooking the Shenandoah River, eight young families living and working together. They did some farming, some construction work and for a time ran a restaurant in Charleston. It was their intention to bee less of a mune and more of a munity, with the families living in separate houses on the property房产. We went to Stonegate on a Sunday evening in November of 1982. We were reluctantly不情愿的 weled. Less than a month before, two Stonegate members had been indicted起诉 for involuntary manslaughter. They were the parents of Joseph Green, who was two years old when he died. On this night many of the Stonegate people were defensive, almost angry. That was four years ago. The parents, Stewart and Leslie Green, were convicted of involuntary manslaughter and both spent a year in jail. First Stewart, then Leslie. Then in a separate legal action, the leader of the Stonegate mune, Dorothy McLellan was also indicted. McLellan did not take part in the paddling but she was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and conspiracy阴谋 in the death of Joey Green, the father, testified against Dorothy McLellan. Green now believes that his son died because of McLellan39。 s teachings and influence.

Green also testified that a fourhour spanking of Dorothy McLellan39。 s grandson, Danny, had occurred two weeks before Joey Green39。 s death. He also said the Stonegate members, when Joey died, joined in a pledge of secrecy: the circumstances would be covered up。 the death would be called an accident. They were afraid all the Stonegate children would be taken away. Joeys parents at first agreed to this. It was later that they spoke out against what they called then a conspiracy of silence. Both Stewart and Leslie Green grew up and married within the Stonegate munity. Leslie was only fifteen when she carrfe to the Stonegate. They lived with several other teenagers in the home of Dorothy and John McLellan. The McLellans had been taking in young people who were having trouble, usually with drugs. They wanted to use their marriage as an example of Christian family life. John McLellan worked for an accounting firm, travelling during the week, Dot McLellan staying at home, taking care of more and more teenagers. The Greens are now living in their first real home together, an apartment in Baltimore. Stewart left the Stonegate, and Leslie joined him as soon as she got out of jail.
