A few weeks ago, the destructive influence on children by the Church of Scientology was discussed here. A list of tales is discussed here. Related links to the UK are established through CCHR whose involvement we can see here.
An interesting document about the attitude of Scientology to children is listed here. It has also been uploaded on this blog [ see above].
To summarise the above links
On reciept of the Award from the Churtch of Scientology.
""PENNY MELLOR, from the Dare to Care parents justice group, was honoured for her vigorous campaigning to expose the psychiatric label "Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy," where parents or caretakers are alleged to have fabricated symptoms of illness in a child to gain attention for themselves. In accepting the award, Ms. Mellor said, "It is a huge honour to receive this award in recognition not for my work, but for those parents who have had the confidence in me and allowed me to fight in their name"
Again she writes to a mother [ potential recruit to Scientology]
""I don't know how you feel about the scientologists, they don't believe in drugging children, and get some bad press, however they are very keen to help any parent with autistic children who has been labelled, no strings attached, they have helped me get loads of MSbP psychs struck off... something to think about it can be done at your discretion but they do have a lot of resources, doctors etc who help falsely accused parents"
"Penny Mellor then wrote "From: DARETOCARE1@aol.comDate: Sun, 5 Jun 2005 15:25:00 -0400 Subject: Re: MAMA UKTo: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxHubbard yes but mostly they are trying to stop people from being labelled, as I said it's up to you, they do have good doctors including pyschs and they are reknowned for getting bad psychs struck off, they hate any label that pigeon holes somebody, but most of all they hate gobbledy gook psychiatry like MSbP. Penny"
The now defunct msbp.com website was used as a hunting ground by Scientologists to recruit potential complainants against doctors. The number who joined the cult is unknown. It is though clear that huge numbers complained en masse to the GMC.
The above campaigner is currently involved in Keran Henderson's case with the sole aim of undermining the diagnosis of Shaken Baby Syndrome which is allegedly of benefit to the cause of Scientology - afterall, it does undermine the work of child protection. The diagnosis of Msbp was undermined and now it is the turn of the Shaken Baby Syndrome.
