Default Religious child abuse, a real case for it....?

We've had discussions here before about how the vast majority of religious parents bring up their children the best they see fit, and myself and most of us heathens agree theres no case for any abuse in such a sense. There is however cases like this that should shock even the moderate religious, I give you Deborah age 13, servant of God:

Part 1:

Documentary about 13-year-old Deborah Drapper, who, unlike other British teens has never heard of Britney Spears or Victoria Beckham. She has been brought up in a deeply Christian family and her parents have tried to make sure she and her ten brothers and sisters have grown up protected from the sins of the outside world.

Deborah is a bright, confident girl who has big ambitions for her life and the film spends a summer with her as she ventures out in the world to see what life outside her family could be and starts putting her beliefs forward to a wider audience.
I can't imagine how anyone couldn't define this as utter and complete brainwashing of a young mind. Scary stuff.
