They are often...
If the child is in the Sea Org, then they are not allowed access to the internet and all snail-mail is opened by the 'Hubbard Communications Office' - policing branch -before it gets to the recipient. Wonderful isn't it?, nor do they watch TV, and rarely newspapers. For people in the 'orgs' it is still restricted, but more possible. Snail mail is oopened by the policing branch, and there is no access to email in the building.
The effects of all the media attention will get some people to look. It would be nice if they found a communication like that.
The biggest difficulty is the Sea Org, that is so controlled, and it holds all the power, it wuld be like trying to get a love letter to someone in a prison camp in North Korea, impossible.
if the Sea Organisation collapsed tomorrow, then Scientology would break up and a new day would dawn. But I don't see the them collapsing, it is worth too much money and has too many criminal activities hidden away, acts that some senior executives would go to prison for.
The protests will shake up Scientology, but will not change it because of the Sea Organisation, it that - the controling body - that has to be targeted next, and that will need to be a very, very well thought out campaign.
In the mean time, you are so very appreciated, just being there, just caring and just talking to people about what you have seen. Thank you so much.
