In the wake of recent controversy surrounding the Church of Scientology, a new website has been launched to assist its most vulnerable adherents: the kids who were born inside. The website, found at http://www.exscientologykids.com, features the stories of people who have been born into the Church of Scientology and escaped. It also contains a forum geared toward children who are dissatisfied with their life within the organization, information for those who are unfamiliar with Scientology and no-nonsense advice on getting out.

The launch of this website comes at a time when the Church of Scientology is facing increasing criticism from the outside world. The controversy stems from a leaked video of Tom Cruise that appeared on YouTube in which he discussed his views on Scientology. After the Church had it removed from the site by claiming that its appearance there constituted copyright infringement, all hell broke loose for the secretive organization. The controversy moved from the internet into real life on February 10, when a wave of world-wide protests was held against the Church.

In the aftermath of these protests, three young women who escaped Scientology joined together to create exscientologykids.com. The site aims to inform young Scientologists and provide a supportive community for them to freely discuss their experiences within the Organization.

Kendra Wiseman comes from a family of well-connected members of the Church of Scientology. Bruce Wiseman, her father, is the president of Citizens Commission on Human Rights, USA, an organization founded by L. Ron Hubbard in 1969. Clark Carr, her Uncle, is the president of Narconon International. Kendra escaped from the Church of Scientology at the age of 17.

Jenna Miscavige Hill is the niece of David Miscavige, the leader of Scientology. She escaped from the church in 2005 after being raised in the church's inner circle.

Astra Woodcraft was also born in to the church. She left the organization in 1998 after the Church pressured her to abort her unborn daughter. She was a member of the controversial Sea Organization which has been known to pressure its members in to terminating their pregnancies.
