Family member in a Cult

Anyone know of resources for dealing with family members in a cult? Not trying to get them out of it, but trying to make the other family members snap out of it with enabling them and continuing to be victims of the cult member’s manipulation and stonewalling tactics - which they 💯 learned from the cult leader, who has been indicted on CSA charges. Any amount of criticism or questioning on ANYTHING at all, cult related or not, and the cult member disappears without a word, allowing absolutely no room for conversation, ever. For example: me - “hey my spouse and I both told you specifically not to [do this] to our kid, why the hell are you doing it anyway?” them - 💨👻 [disappears]. Or, family members - “we don’t think [the cult leader] is a good influence on you, why do you keep giving them money?” Cult member - [disappears, stops daily hourlong (🚩) calls, denies access to their kid]. The family members sort of know because there is news coverage and there has been talk in the community for years, but they are terrified to fully lift the lid and accept accountability for what they have been enabling. They also have been welcoming this cult leader into their community too, despite knowing how shady they are and having themselves once reported this p.o.s. to the police for taking a minor on a cross country “spiritual” tour alone with them. The cult member continues to support their jailed leader, probably sends them money, attacks any critics, etc.
