Incidentally, since we are discussing Haleigh's mistreatment at the hands of the DSS, it was a social worker's unproven accusations of child abuse levelled at David Koresh (if I remember rightly) that eventually escalated into the Waco holocaust.

They do the same thing to devout Christian homeschoolers. They don't want their children indoctrinated by the state schools, therefore they are kooks and weirdos. They make the state uncomfortable. Same with folks like the Branch Davidians, but they paid with their lives. Some parents pay by losing their kids.

I've read about some of the tactics that Scientology uses, such as physical intimidation, expensive lawsuits, and extortion. They're more like an organized crime family than a religion. Imo after reading that body count link, someone needs to grow some stones and investigate them. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I sincerely hope that Katie Holmes and her baby come through this experience unscathed.

I imagine Katie Holmes and her baby are utterly safe from the moonbatologist mafia -- she's too high-profile to mess with. Whether she is sane to live with a ding-dong moonbat is another matter.
