Mother pleads Scotland to deport 'brainwashed' daughter living with 'cult' back to Texas

Kaura Taylor was groomed online and coerced into relocating to a Scottish forest camp by an African group, prompting welfare concerns and ongoing legal eviction proceedings.

  • In 2023, shortly after graduating, aspiring lawyer Kaura Taylor was reported missing from Dallas and allegedly coerced to move 4,000 miles to a camp in Jedburgh, Scotland.
  • Groomers on social media allegedly recruited Taylor, exploiting her vulnerabilities and buying her a one-way ticket to the UK for a new life with the so-called Kingdom of Kubala.
  • The camp on the edge of an industrial estate faces eviction after notices to remove them from private and council land while Police Scotland and Scottish authorities assess welfare reports.
  • Taylor's mother Melba Whitehead urged urgent deportation in a Texas interview, saying `I don't know why Scotland is allowing this foolishness` and warning Taylor is isolated and needs safeguarding.
  • Taylor denies coercion and says others are not her concern, while her family and observers call the so-called Kingdom of Kubala a cult, citing videos and online images of allegiance.
