What happens when a newborn is handed—by his own mother—into the arms of a cult?On today’s episode of Was I In A Cult?, we peel back the celebrity sheen and expose the shadowy depths of one of the world’s most controversial organizations: Scientology. But this time, it’s not about celebrities—it’s about the kids.Jamie Mustard was born into Scientology’s inner sanctum, the Sea Org. Raised without parents, he spent his childhood in filth-ridden tenements, watched over by untrained and often abusive caretakers, and wrote heartbreaking letters to L. Ron Hubbard begging to see his mom again.This isn’t the Scientology you’ve heard about. And this is just the beginning.
