“He had asked specifically to help “watch” the little ones in the shul. This took place during kiddush in a “kids room” that was supposed to be cleared by the shul and locked. The family did not just let their kids run wild without supervision. The molester, according to the PA, was predatory and planned this well in advance.”
And so Yehuda Tzvi, I am going to ask the very tough questions here. WHO is taking responsibility for this???? “He asked to “help” watch the little ones” and no one thought that odd?
“a “kids room” that was supposed to be cleared by the shul and locked.” And WHY WASN’T IT?
“The family did not just let their kids run wild without supervision.” Are you kidding me? With all the information available about safety and how to protect your kids, never leave them alone with anyone even a frum person, why would the family allow their six year old little girl to be alone with a 15 year old boy?
There is enough blame and guilt to go around here and the parents have the right to sue the shul here as well. EVERYONE did EVERYTHING WRONG HERE!!! Doesn’t anyone have common sense here? Who did he ask to “help watch the little kids”?, who approved of this arrangement? who did not lock the door? who was supposed to supervise him and the little kids? Where were the other little kids? Everyone involved here needs to have their heads examined and that is what makes this whole scenario so horrific. Why was everyone’s head in the sand???? Anyone could have prevented this!!!
This is even more sickening than before. How could an entire group of adults be so clueless and so stupid? No wonder you are so angry, but you are angry at the wrong person. Yes the teen molester has huge blame here on his shoulders but so do all the adults here who missed the warning signals and NEGLECTED to keep that child safe. SHAME on ALL OF THEM!!!!!
