More than 40% of convicted child molesters will be convicted again. Conservative estimates are that less than 10% of molesters are caught and convicted. Child molesters should NEVER be placed in a position that allows interaction children under any circumstances again regardless of the “restoration” that they may have under gone.
Parishioners, if you church’s leadership suggests any response to the alleged abuse of a child other than reporting it, and separating the alleged abuser immediately, you need to find a new church. If the allegations prove to be unequivocally false then you can”restore” the now cleared accused. Judgement is the Lord’s but we are called to exercise discernment at all times.
Well good for her obstinately breaking the omertà spell. And IDK but it seems inexplicable absent an unquestioning coverup by insular church elders/stewards/patsies. But yet, not far distant from JP Miller antics. Assuming he had raised up a make shift Christian college of sorts. As I recall, his daddy had which tanked earlier. How much trust should be granted to ministers accountable to hand picked trustees? The RCC has had problems but exercises oversight at a parish level that would derail this story early on.
Are there mandatory sexual abuse reporters in SC? Are clergy amongst them?
