Health, the problem is victims in many cases can’t deal with the truth themselves until they are much older, in their 30’s and 40’s. That is how the truth came out about Kolko and YTT. It wasn’t till an adult survivor in his 40’s married with children decided it was time to confront the truth and that he was stable, capable and ready to do so.
As you can see, it is very difficult to stand up not only to the perpetrator himself but to the community in general who choose not to believe children in general and are suspicious even of the motives of adult survivors.
Please consider this. Had that one man not come forward about Kolko, he would have continued to molest countless numbers of children from that point up till now. We have no idea how many young neshomas that survivor saved by coming forward when he did. He was strong and committed to the truth and would not let anyone intimidate or bribe him into keeping quite. That is probably because he was already an established individual who was at an age where he was able to deal with the past, had enough support both within in his own family and through enough therapy to be empowered.
Look what unfortunately the community, including the Rabbonim do to young innocent victims, it is a mockery of justice.
