I doubt the victims will get very far in suing the yeshivas. But the abusers need to be brought to justice, and I’m thankful that society is being forced to see that these things happen. Stories where the beit din tells an abuser to get counseling and then sends them to another yeshiva to continue abusing while silencing the family. I remember a story where a family called local police because the counsel wasn’t doing anything, and they were shunned, harassed, no longer accepted into schools. No parent should have to choose between community acceptance and their child’s neshama.

Find a way to really look into the backgrounds of your teachers and counselors. And men should be careful to have a witness every time they’re alone counseling a boy. The abuse needs to stop.
