What was said
"They had kids as young as 12 in the Sea Organization. So you have 12-year-olds working from 8 o'clock in the morning till midnight every day, 7 days a week. You get— on Sundays you get 3 hours off maybe in the morning to do your laundry and, you know, shit, shower, and shave. And then that's it."
Former Sea Org members reveal that Scientology recruited children as young as 12 into the Sea Organization, forcing them to work 16-hour days, seven days a week with minimal breaks. Parents in Scientology reportedly encouraged or forced children into this arrangement, viewing it as a badge of honor. The practice continues to evade prosecution due to Scientology's religious status and parental consent, despite clear child labor law violations.
