Here, she explores the horrors of the school and growing up in the cult that is run by leader David Miscavige. For more check out her interview on Shelise Ann Sola's Cults to Consciousness channel.

      I was in the cadet Org and really don’t consider it a school. It was more like a joke. We would start studying math or spelling or something. And then a Sea Org member would come over and say they need us to do some kinda of work and school would be over and we would be doing filing. Or for some kind of renovation project and then when they bought the ranch, we would go up to the ranch and knock down walls and renovate to get it ready for all the Sea Org kids to move up there.

    What a beautiful human this lady. I am really enjoying this interview. I believe we are all controlled, perhaps to a lesser degree, or a greater degree than Scientology. We are brain washed from the cradle to the grave and to release that programming is so difficult. This girl is absolutely a delight and so strong and also brave. I cannot imagine what she went through. Thank you Andrew.

    I didn’t grow up in Scientology but in a Catholic family in Paris in the 70’s and I too were treated as a little adult at age 4. I was given the key to the front door and had to pick up my brother (we were both in kindergarten) and walk home with him. I was put on a train at age 6 to be picked up 6 hours later by the German border by an aunt. I couldn’t read well yet so I had to count the number of stations/stops to make sure I would get off the train in the right town. I too was a people pleaser and not allowed to make mistakes.

    I feel for this young woman. Another childhood stolen by Scientology. And now she feels therapy is an ongoing necessity. She commented, Scientology creates little soldiers with no room to be a child. Just so sad. Therapy or not Dani seems quite strong to me. Strong enough to get out and create a normal life for herself. Thank you Andrew for this interview as it adds to the arsenal of information. And hopefully get more Scientologists to see the truth and leave this cult.

    Thank you Dani for sharing your story. You were so open, honest, articulate and brave beyond your years to do what you did to escape and stand by your mum.
    I’m really sorry for what that cult did to you as a child. The blatant hypocrisy of them declaring your mum when she’s suffering from alcoholism and had bought you some, meanwhile they’d sexually traumatised you, which probably rises to the level of abuse when you’re so young. The more I hear from Andrew’s guests and Aaron, I cannot believe this so called church is allowed to exist. There should be a class action lawsuit with all of you in it against them.
    Dani, I’m so happy you’re living your best life now with music. You are doing such a noble cause in rescuing animals, especially the dogs from South Korea. I applaud you wholeheartedly for that. 👏❤️🙏🎶

    I can't imagine having such a sad childhood. It's crazy to have to choose between parents. Growing up, I always had a dichotomous life, split between living with my grandmother who was religious but allowed a huge amount of freedom to learn and explore and visiting my parents on the weekend, who were a little stricter. (I had two bedrooms.) I never had to choose sides. I lived with my grandma during the week because she needed the company, and both my parents worked.
    My life was a typical 70s/80s childhood. You made your bed, cleaned your room, did chores, and then spent the rest of your time outside until the streetlights came on. There were no helicopter parents and crazy zealots to worry about. All of this was authoritative, not authoritarian training. The guidelines were good grades, good behavior, and having some responsibilities, with little micromanaging.
    Even though I had a rich religious heritage, it became my life's sanctuary and still is. It's easier to unplug from daily stresses with that element in my life. But, I am able to balance both of these worlds. One of the biggest balancing agents was the YMCA. I had been introverted until I became a member at our local Y, which gave me so many social skills. I still love Y culture and am almost a lifetime member, having brought my hubby of almost 35 years into it 23 years ago.

The snitch mentality reminds me of what we hear it was like to grow up in a communist country. Dani has a strong spirit to have been able to see through it. Her cynicism is realistic. The hard part is to distinguish between those who are genuinely of good intent and those who are not - but with such a strong spirit she will, and she is helping others to, as well.

I sent my 4 children to private religious schools as I found the standard of education much higher than the free state school system, plus as I'd been educated at one I found it easier to get my own children in. Sometimes the waiting lists can last for years

    Thank you so much for your bravery and honesty. I do believe that the maternal instincts are stronger in some women. I know mine are much stronger than my mother's - although she did try to make sure I was safe. My children have thanked me for being such a loving, but fiercely protective mom! I know how I feel, so it was great to have them validate my love and my fighting spirit that has kept them feeling loved and safe ❤🤗❤

    It is not just 'brainwashing' it is the lack of attuned parenting and a secure attachment relationship from conception - and the impact this experience has on the body (nervous system) and the poor attention/ability to down-regulate/feel positive narcissism etc. It is missing out on all the good things a human needs PLUS the abuse.

    She sounds like many young adults that aren't involved in any religion. Detached, needing therapy, choosing to be alone, wanting control. Difference is she sounds like she got a great education. Her issue now is from her mom's drinking and her mom's choices unfortunately. Hope she heals. Parents going through divorce and mom giving alcohol and cigarettes to her 16yr old daughter is not a practicing Scientologist. Of course the other parents wouldn't want that. Very sad. This poor girl lost everything at a critical teen age, and it's affecting her today.

      It sounds like she’d rather not get too deep into those things. Just because she’s not talking about the emotional family stuff, doesn’t mean she’s not dealing with that. She probably just wants to keep it private, and a big part of that is probably to protect her relatives from Scientology.

    When I went to school and twenty years later when my son went to school (and now he is a teacher who teaches his students the same thing) we were both taught that if we came across the word we didn't understand to stop and look it up.
    That's not unique to Scientology that's just good teaching which exists all over the world.

    I worked in schools in Aus & NZ and we got kids to pick up bits of rubbish on floor around desks (to make the cleaners job easier) so that it taught the kids self responsibility and a lot of kids have lists of chores to do at home and that’s not a bad thing as long as there is still room in their lives to be a child. Scientology took good practices to the extremes to suit COS benefits.

      WAS THERE NO RUBBISH BIN 🗑 IN THOSE CLASSROOMS?
      DID YOU ALSO MAKE THEM ALL WASH 🧼 THEIR HANDS PROPERLY AFTER PICKING UP THAT RUBBISH?
      WHO THREW THAT RUBBISH ON THE FLOORS IN THE FIRST PLACE?
      I WENT TO CATHOLIC PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND I NEVER SAW ANY OF MY CLASSMATES THROWING FOOD OR SCRAPS OF PAPER OR ANYTHING ONTO OUR CLASSROOM FLOORS!!!
      AND WHY WOULD YOU MAKE KIDS DO THE CLEANERS WORK FOR FREE - IN ORDER TO MAKE THE PAID CLEANERS WORK EASIER FOR THE CLEANER WHO TOOK THAT JOB IN ORDER TO BE PAID FOR CLEANING EASIER?!!

    Brave lady. Absolute wild when you listen to the stories. When you come from a normalish back ground and i first heard about these types of cults i couldn't believe they existed pre- internet days. When i first started my regular travels to London i couldn't believe they existed in our country ! I took a pic of one of the buildings and they wouldn't take they're eyes off me, i just smiled and hoped they never approached me.
    They have people in all businesses, they've taken someone down off RUclips. Followed them in black blacked out SUV's in Tampa and other areas in America. Plaguing this person with emails, phone calls and stalking. This is why you have to be careful. They'll know everything about you Andrew but probably don't see you as a threat. They'll keep tabs though.
