Affidavit of Zoe Woodcraft
Zoe wrote an affidavit through which we learn what it is really like for children raised in the Sea Org. Zoe was raised by other Sea Org members who were assigned to be nannies. Often these “nannies” were children not much older than she. Zoe was housed far from her parents in sometimes filthy, cockroach-ridden and dilapidated buildings. Her only education was from Scientology “course supervisors” with no educational qualifications other than training in the Scientology method of learning. For years she was housed at the “Cadet Org” on a remote ranch in California, where the children were completely cut off from the outside world. As Zoe put it, “This ranch was hours away from normal civilization. In the year plus that I lived there we never went into town for a field trip; never went to a movie, shopping or anything. We were totally isolated.”
