I do not belive abuse and molestors run rampant in our communities, I dont think they are any more or any less than anywhere else. However I do think there has been a cover up and that has made it seem worse than it really is.
Unfornatly I do think many seem to think its better to protect the community from a “bad rep” than admit there is a problem.
The OP in this post is a perfect example of this thinking. That someone would really belive its a bigger chilul hashem to turn over a molestor than allow one to infest our community
And unfortunatly this thinking does spread to our leadership. And IMO if there are leaders who think this way, they must be replaces with leaders who want it gone
