Oh please, how else is Pastor Smith supposed to diddle kids? /s
You jest, but that's exactly what they want.
In most places in the US, churches are exempt from so many laws and regulations regarding power dynamics & abuse, mandatory reporting, andvthey typically do not vet people who volunteer to work with children, etc.
The amount of CSA in the church is literally insane. Much of it goes unreported & """"worked out"""" through the church, as well.
It's one of the most disturbing things that gets completely ignored in favor of "basement pizza parlors" or some horseshit because these zealots don't want to acknowledge that their precious religious country clubs are havens for p×dophiles.
Do you know what happens to victims of these? I’m really interested in the assault and trauma in the church.
I’m looking for some good reading on it.
To keep the youngest of us dumb and vulnerable.
