Is The Church Of Scientology Holding Children Hostage?
I received an "anonymous" tip with some disturbing accounts from inside the Church of Scientology's Flag Land Base Center in Clearwater, Florida. This is where the Fort Harrison Hotel is, and many overseas Scientologists come here to take training courses and to work. I saw some information that would indicate the children of Scientologists are being held without their passports, visas or any kind of supporting documentation which states their legal status to be in this country. These children are said to be forced into doing unpaid labor for the CoS centers in Florida and are being held captive while their parents are either shipped overseas or working at any of the various Scientology centers around the world.
In light of the nature of these allegations, I felt it necessary to make this tip known out of concern for any children who may be in harm's way. I have been told that the authorities have been contacted. Unfortunately, the Clearwater police department has a reputation of looking the other way in allegations stemming from illegal or abusive behavior from the CoS, so it's important to recommend a third party look into these matters. Please remember, these are "allegations" and at this point, and we must allow the authorities to handle investigating.
Here's the information that is allegedly said to come from inside Scientology in response to the efforts of Anonymous. I cannot at this time provide supporting data, this is still an on-going investigative effort:
Flag is 1/2 the size it was business wise as ten years ago...Public scientologists are all getting 3-4 phone calls PER DAY to come in for service s and pay more money!Staff are knocking on peoples doors every day,trying to get public to come back in. No "public" are giving them any money right now...A lot of the kids were dumped there by their "Sea Org" parents who have been sent elsewhere, and basically abandoned them and went off to work for 'RON"..
Most of the older people are gone The abuse the kids that are on staff are enduring is incredible.They get counted getting onto the bus to goto the mess hall, they get counted when they get off the bus. They counted when they go to bed. The kids don't have any where to go, they are trapped...They are third world youngsters.. who have NO WHERE TO GO. South American, Russian Kids, Albanian,Hungarians, Cech republic, Serbia . Yugoslavia , They bring them in on "religious workers visas" and then they TAKE their passports, so they can not leave! The kids can't leave, many are very frightened, you can see the desperation in their eyes, they are scared to death...
