The UBF chapter in question, I believe, is the Columbus UBF, recently "pioneered" by Henry and Pauline Park of Chicago UBF in 2001-2002.

The preliminary information that I have is that the mother of a Columbus UBF recruit saw unhealthy changes in her child, a familiar theme in the history of UBF USA.

This broadcast would make it 3 times that I know of that UBF has been on the TV news in the USA. For a movement that has been largely a numeric failure in America, to be the subject of three TV news investigations is an awful lot.

John Wick was a former member of the old Columbus UBF chapter, which eventually dissolved.
