Exscientologykids.com is a website launched in 2008 by Kendra Wiseman, Astra Woodcraft and Jenna Miscavige Hill.[1][2] It is dedicated to publishing affidavits of former child members of the Church of Scientology.[3]

The website makes numerous allegations against the Church of Scientology, including that they deprive children of a proper education and that church members engage in physical abuse against children.[1][3][4][5] The website's founders also provide safe houses to members who have recently left the church.[3] These safe houses also provide services for reuniting families and helping ex-members with financial difficulties.[3] In a statement to the press, a spokesperson for the Church of Scientology claimed that the website is "full of lies".[4][6]
