Helpful, Rav Eliyashuv called a molester a Rodef. We must be talking about two different things.
Moq, see why one Rav’s psak will be taken apart till it means nothing??????
As far as schools are concerned many schools who have found issues have immediately sent letters home to inform parents that an issue has been discovered and if anyone else’s child had any contact with “this teacher” and is displaying any of the following symptoms….to please contact the principal on his private line. IN addition, please talk to your children about…… So schools who have stepped up to the plate as far as their responsibility, their concern, their part in prevention have nothing to worry about.
I have been involved in the JBAC and have done my research with therapists, attorneys, victim/survivors, etc. I have not heard of stories where the perps had guilt or remorse at all. They are all in denial and continue to prey rather than admit guilt and seek treatment even if they are well into their 70’s. They choose to remain on top with all the honors that it provides rather than help their victims heal no matter what horrors they are going through. So for the handful of remorseful or pained individuals that have hurt countless numbers of victims, good luck to you if you believe them. I and my colleagues don’t. But go ahead, take out an ad in your local paper and see how many of them would respond, or go to Dov Hikind and see if he would contact any and offer them a deal and see how many would respond. I doubt if any would take the magic pill even if they were offered amnesty with the blessing of their victims.
I apologize profusely for the typo, I didn’t mean the BJJ, i meant to type BJE, obviously.
Moq, I give you a lot of credit for your enthusiasm and I don’t want to squash it one iota. But we have all tried the “derech” and the frum way. It doesn’t work and there are way too many innocent neshomas being slaughtered while we keep trying. We can’t waste any more time. We just can’t. It is not up to us to allow this to continue while our kinderlach are the kaporos. The only way to stop it is by professional means. Parents can tell the signs, it is not that difficult. Children change from this torture. Their sleep patterns change, their concentration changes, their habits change. There are signs to look out for. If you see the signs and your kids tell you something believe them and take them to their doctor if you don’t want to go to the police. The doctor will handle it for you. And don’t be afraid to answer the questions honestly. AND by all means DON’T MAKE UP THE ANSWERS! If you are not sure, say you are not sure. Let the experts figure it out, they know how.
Moq, understand that there are victims today as young as 3 and as old as 53. That is the scary part.
