If you just want a short summary on the family, the BBC has a very good article on the Pearls
The Pearls' business is worth over a million dollar so even if most people haven't heard of them, they have made some money off of selling child abuse manuals to extremist Christians.
Christians are among some of those who have tried to raise awareness of the fact that the Pearls' books and articles are abusive. I don't want to give the impression that this family isn't a minority among Christians.
