Padgett Fights for Children from Scientologist Ex-Wife (auf
Deutsch)
Tom has been fighting for access to and custody of his two children for years. Now, despite tireless efforts in his children's best interests, he may be jailed on dubious charges of failing to pay child support. Tom's children are being raised under strict Scientology doctrine and policy. Toms' ex-wife Laura stayed in Scientology when he left, and ever since, Tom's life has been turned up-side-down. - Cult
victim collapses
On January 20, 1999, Thomas Padgett of South Orleans, Massachusetts collapsed from an episode of syncope, sudden loss of consciousness, caused by heightened stress. Since leaving Scientology years ago, Padgett has been involved in ongoing legal battles initiated by his ex-wife, who is still a Scientologist. - Realvideo of speech during the Leo J.
