Carrie Upwood has been taken into custody after running to her friend's house and they contacted the police. Ever since she was young, her parents have been raising her to be a sacrifice to their cult. She was locked in her room but escaped. Her parents and their cult are under investigation while they remain in jail and the cult is being searched for. Another victim of a similar situation decided to comment, "It can be extremely hard for a child to realise that they have been raised to die for fourteen years of their life. Most people don't see it coming, especially the victim. In Carrie's situation, everyone was taken aback. Good luck Carrie."
