Tom Padgett's Child Custody Case


Exhibit R-6 in Civil Action # 92-CI-00444


FAIR AND EQUAL TREATMENT

We are the son and daughter of Tom and Laura Padgett.  We are the grand-
son and granddaughter of Shirley Padgett, Carl and Betty Vannoy. We are
the nephew and niece of John Padgett, Ellen Sloop, and Gail Padgett. We
want fair and equal treatment and WE WANT TO BE HEARD too. We want fair
and equal treatment of my parents, our grandparents, our aunts and
uncles, all of our relatives, family, friends, and all good, caring, and
loving people.  We want all these people to be heard.  We understand by
the constitution of our United States, that we have freedom of speech
and worship as do my Mom, Dad, family, friends, and relatives.  No ones
rights should be  suppressed.  Nothing that is in any possible way harm-
full to me, my Dad, my Mom,  my families and friends should be hidden,
avoided, covered-up because beliefs of my parents.   This is our right.
We want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.   We
do not want the half  truth from anybody  -- my Mom,  my Dad, my families,
and friends and especially from any  courts, Judges, or Lawyers.  If
any court,  Judge, Commissioner  is an acquaintance of our families or
former employer of our families  than it is much more than possible that
fair and equal treatment of us and our parents and families on both sides
can not and will not happen.  There are things in  scientology we  like.
The following policies we do not like;  "DISCONNECTION,"  "MAYBE TRICKED,
SUED, LIED TO, AND DESTROYED........WITHOUT ANY DISCIPLINE TO THE CIENTOL-
OGIST,"   "TR-L...TEACHES ONE TO LIE FACILE,"   "ATTACK, HARM, SUPPRESS,"
"ATTACK THE ATTACKERS,  DO NOT DEFEND SCIENTOLOGY,"   "IT IS A HIGH CRIME
TO PUBLICLY DEPART SCIENTOLOGY,"  and especially  "THE LAW CAN BE USED TO
HARASS, RUIN, AND CAUSE DECEASE"  "FEED,  BLOOD, LURID, SEX, CRIME TO THE
PUBLIC"   We have seen these in writing in policy letters and books of
scientology.   We do not like or want these in our lives or any possible
way effecting our lives just like the abuse of drugs, alcohol, sex,
crimes or bad  behavior.  My Dad wants to talk about these and educate us
openly and equally.   My Mom does not.  We love our Mom and Dad equally
and want them to be heard  and judged equally.  We know our Mom and Dad
both love us equally as do their friends and families.  We have watched
my Dad stand in an uneployment line to have money to live on and for us.
We have seen his $250/week paycheck.   We liked it better when he was a
well paid hotel executive.  we have seen the nasty letters and notes he
has received at his past places at work and home.  We have seen a picture
of the spraypaint damage to his house in Michigan.   We think the law
should do something about this to stop it and protect him.  If it hurts
him it hurts us directly not indirectly.  My Dad is not an "SP" or "PTS"
in our minds and our hearts even though he may  be a declared enemy of the
scientology organization.   We know our Mom to be a scientologist and
our Dad to be  ex-scientologist.    He should not be punished for speaking
out against these awfull policies to protect us and himself for now and
the future.  Anybody and everybody should listen.   We have seen on every
U.S. coin and paper currency  "in God we trust" we have not seen "in
L. Ron Hubbard we trust"  The federal goverment does recognize God and
religion and allow  it to be spoken of.  My Mom says scientology is a
religion because it has a tax exempt status from the I.R.S.  My Dad says
scientology  is a cult because of it's policies of harmfull destruction
and that it uses mind control.  We want our minds free.  My Dad said
the policies of scientology cause a lot of animosity (meaning hate and
anger)  We can not disagree, they do.  We know if these policies were
ignored, avoided, or pretended not to exist they could be just as
dangerous as snake handling in other belief systems to us, my Mom,

my Dad, my family and friends.   We  asked  that  Dr Nichols or any
other medical or mental health professional, doctor, pastor and
minister to examine this problem between my Mom and Dad thoroughly
with out any stone unturned.  We do not want any dangers withheld from
us by  anybody.  We don't want any lying to us just to hide these
policies.   We do not want my Dad harmed or treated unfairly because
he did not come from Madisonville KY.  I do not want my Mom harmed
either or treated better because she is from Madisonville.  We just
want the truth all of  it.  The law is not to harass, ruin people
nor is it to hide things behind.  The law is to protect and to serve
me,  my Dad,  my Mom,  and all good people.   So are the laws of God.
The  law is supposed to be "innocent untill proven guilty."   No one
should be suppressed to speak out or be punished for such. We do not
want our father arrested for something he cannot morally, financially,
physically, and  spiritualy perform.   We do not want to be
"disconnected."
