Children and VD

Does anyone know the facts about this situation:

"The Swiss periodical Sonntagsblick told of 20 Children of God youngsters living isolated from other people, without schooling, in a house due to be demolished in a rural Zurich parish. There had been claims that sect girls were sometimes driven across the border to Germany to go on the street. A Bern Children's news agency reported the case of a 12-year-old girl from the group who was admitted to a hospital suffering severely from VD. The child was said to be in a pitiable state, quite apathetic, and barely able to read or write" (Switzerland. Cult Observer, 8(4), 1991, p. 9. From FAIR News, Winter 1990/91, p. 5).
