=== Abuses in the community ===
[[Roch Thériault]] began to become more and more totalitarian towards his acolytes and became more and more violent, mainly due to his alcoholism.  And he used his charisma to hide these traits, making sure that none of his acolytes would question him. Various examples of his barbarism committed can be that when a person wished to leave the commune, [[Roch Thériault|Thériault]] would hit them with either a belt or hammer, suspend them from the ceiling, pluck each of their body hairs individually, or even defecate on them or members who did not bring in enough money to the community were also punished. Another example: in 1989, when follower Solange Boilard complained of an upset stomach, [[Roch Thériault|Thériault]] performed another amateur surgery without anaesthesia. He laid her naked on a table, and punched her in the stomach, then forced a plastic tube into her rectum to perform a crude enema with molasses and olive oil. He cut open her abdomen with a knife and ripped off part of her intestines with his bare hands. Boilard died the next day from the damage inflicted by the procedures. Claiming to have the power of resurrection, [[Roch Thériault|Thériault]] bored a hole into Boilard's skull with a drill and then had other male members (along with himself) ejaculate into the cavity. When Boilard did not return to life, her corpse was buried a short distance from the Ant Hill Kids' commune.
