The RECEIPT: Children that Scientology Failed

A powerful list to protest against Scientology.

These are names of children born and/or raised in Scientology who have since left and spoken out against it. It also includes children born and/or raised in Scientology who didn’t make it out alive, due to suicide or tragedy.

Created by Liz Gale and debuted February 24, 2023 outside Scientology’s Celebrity Center International, the 75-foot scroll was carried around the block by ex-members, survivors and advocates in protest of Scientology’s treatment of children throughout it’s 70 year history.

If you would like to be added to this list, or know of a name that should be included, please let me know below.

Project Guidelines

For the sake of some clarity, I have added a few guidelines to help keep integrity of the project.

All entries should be born or primarily raised in Scientology during their formative years, and:

Have publicly spoken out against Scientology *aka not currently under the radar*

-or-

Lost their lives due to negligence, suicide or tragedy

If your suggestion doesn’t meet these criteria but you feel really strongly about adding them, please send it my way anyway and let me know why you feel that person should be added.

Thank you for contributing. I will update the list as entries come in.

Also, please take note that – while there is no set order for the list – I have taken care to put those who have passed away near to their surviving loved one(s) on the list. This was by request and by design… just thought you should know.
