What does Scientology say about the raising of children?
L. Ron Hubbard has written a great deal about raising children. In
Scientology, children are recognized as people who should be given all
the respect and love granted adults.
Scientologists believe children should be encouraged to contribute to
family life and not just be "seen and not heard" as the old
saying goes. Children are spiritual beings, and as such they need to
exchange with those around them in order to thrive and live productive,
happy lives. For more information on raising children, the book Child
Dianetics and the course "How to be a Successful Parent" are
recommended reading.
Most children raised in good Scientology homes are above average in
ability and quickly begin to understand how and why people act as they
do. Life thus becomes a lot happier and safer for them.

And now for the truth
Everything you just read is a lie. Children raised by parents who have
fallen into Scientology's clutches experience abuse and neglect as a
matter of routine. There are many reasons for that child abuse yet
among the worst reason is something the syndicate's spokesperson tried
to lie his way around amove: Scientology's mad messiah L. Ron Hubbard
told his followers that children are nothing but adults in little
bodies and as such they shouldn't be treated as children.
Child abuse inside of Scientology is epidemic. It gets worse when one's
parents sign on with the syndicate's "Sea
Org." When that happens the children are put into a facility
with other children where they're starved, worked until exhaustion,
abused, and where there parents are rarely allowed to visit them. The
crime syndicate even has a systematic child abuse campaign they call
their "Cadet Org" which is as bad as you can imagine.
The authorities have a difficult time shutting down these abuses and
putting the criminals in jail. While the policeman on the beat has to
see the horror that Scientology children struggle with every day of their
young lives, Judges are removed from the gritty reality and when detailed
desriptions of what Scientology children are put through cross their
desks, they don't give them the attention -- and the sentencing -- they
deserve.
When I was in Clearwater, Florida in 1998 for the annual protest
against the Scientology organization for its 1995 murder of Lisa
McPherson, I met a battle-scarred police officer on the street and we
started talking about Scientology's children. He told me about one of
the appartment buildings the criminal enterprise uses to store its
cast-off, uneducated children. This police officer told me that
this building was the single most disgusting, filthy, degrading place
of child abuse he had ever seen in all his years as a police officer.
I got to see just how bad it is for children in Scientology. I wrote
up a protest report
which describes much of what I saw. You should read that report yet in
brief I saw children being forced to engage in slave labor, being kicked
in the ass by their Scientology leaders to force them to run faster
into and out of buildings.
Why can't the authorities do something about
Scientology's rampant
child abuse? That's a complicated question which has many answers.
It can be summed up in one word, however: Funding; or actually the lack
of Congressional funding. Lt. Ray Emmons of the Clearwater Police
Department conducted a lengthy criminal investigation of the Scientology
crime syndicate and developed an
Investigative
Summary (See also
part two. In
that Summary the overall reason why Scientology manages to survive today
isn't because there's not enough evidence to put the ringleaders away
and put a stop to the abuses, it's because Congressional funding would
be needed to successfully dismantle the criminal organization.
And child sexual abuse? Scientology's epidemic with followers that
sexually abuse children. (See Class 9 OT 5
Incestuous Pedophile for an example.)
