A Gloriavale leaver is recalling the confronting impact of child discipline practices used in the sect.
Police have issued two formal warnings to the community after investigating allegations parents would cover the noses and mouths of crying children.
A Herald investigation has revealed officers conducted more than 100 interviews.
Virginia Courage says in one instance, a little boy was brought to her unconscious.
"He wasn't breathing, and his father just threw him at me. I don't even know if he said anything, I just went into get-this-kid-breathing mode."
