#7 excelent comment (#16 the main thing is the point and the mussar to derive and #7 is absolutely right.)
#13 YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!!!!!!
YWN PLEASE WAKE UP!!
The problem is not what they write in the Newspapers the problem is what is happening in our community.
RABOISAI HAVE RACHMONUS ON THE PURE YIDISHE KINDER!!!
Don’t let these things happen!
MACHERS, POLITICIANS, AGUDA ACVTISTS, CHASIDIM, REBBES, ROSH YESHIVAS EVERYONE WHO CAN HELP RID OURSELVES OF THIS TERRIBLE KITRUG (Not the News papers) IN SHOMAYIM!!!
Don’t waste your Rachmonus on the Pedofiles (if anything the Rachmonus on them is that they should be behind bars doing less Aveiros). Have Rachmonus on our children!!! Stop worrying about external things like News Papers and PR. There’s a Ribbono Shel Olom he sees it all. IT’S RECORDED BY HIM IN ANY CASE.

I have a bigger question, when the people behind YWN moderate comments that point out that frum Jews protect molesters, is there any wonder that people complain?

DA Hynes said that the intimidation in the frum community is worse than in the mafia. When frum molesters can roam free, do you really have any claim against the Post?

The way I see it, the goyim have no problem that a community has a child molester as they have them to. The problem and the chilul Hashem is born not by the community, but by the perpetrator. It becomes a big problem and massive Chilul Hashem when the community is seen to not only protect the perpetrator but be an aggressor against the victim (e.g. coming to support the perpetrator in court). That’s when the goyim look at us in horror. We like to hold ourselves over them in moral standing, but act so shamefully in this area creating the chilul Hashem.

Furthermore, had this issue been dealt with appropriately we would be seen as an example to all. When the goyisha priest abuses came out they would have pointed to us as a community who knows how to deal with this stuff and it would have been a MASSIVE Kidush Hashem! What a contrast!

When a falt of ours if magnified and generalized – although it’s wrong and evil – it’s because of who we are and who we claim to be.

I sadly know from my little corner of many cases that the frum community kept quiet, etc.

There must be a way to fix these problems without making a lot of noise… I think.

Furthermore Law Enforcements top priority is solving and preventing crimes. Since every single objective study ever done on the effect of Mandated Reporting Laws has proven that at best they do not work and at worst they are part of the problem as they cause an unprecedented amount of frivolous accusations by people seeking to protect themselves and overburdening an already overburdened system and further preventing Law enforcement from focusing on the substantiated crimes (Douglas Besharov a former head of CPS gave an excellent speech on this problem) it would seem quite obvious why Law Enforcement is eager to work with Rabbonim who are trying to take a more sober and effective approach that actually leads to solutions not just headlines.

Considering the fact that according to the statistics of child abuse children that grow up in two parent households are eight times less likely to suffer child abuse then other children and the Divorce rate is unquestiobly far lower in the Ultra Orthodox population it would seem obvious why law enforcement considers Jewish Children far less likely to suffer child abuse.

Frum Yidden should not be reading the Post.

And not because of this article only.

To answer the writer’s question, a quick Google search came up with about 100 examples of writers in the New York Times criticizing the black community for not denouncing crimes committed by African Americans. The same thing happens all the time regarding basically every ethnic group. To think otherwise is just dumb.
