Does Scientology Harm Children?

Answer

This is a matter of opinion. Like any religous belief system the parents are the ones that decide for the children what they are going to believe and brainwash them so to speak into their ideals. Now when the child grows up and see's for themselves that that is not what they wanted to have in their lives they can change their minds, then. To each their own.

Answer

Unlike the previous, I would say not to do it. While children can easily fall into the practice of religions ans fears of such things like hell, I would say the effect is quadrupled at least onto children. For one the graphic images that the church shows on psychiatry would be very damaging to children, and the Fair Game policy would be rather desensitizing and could cause extremism. Also the church makes it notoriously difficult to leave the church, and those who quit spend a lifetime of harassment. Not to mention that if the parent in question quits, they may be disconnected from their child by the church. If you are a parent of the church, don't give into the churches demands. Although you want your child to be clear, don't involve them in something you may regret later on.
