Saw this on Vice, and it was showed on another website. http://www.vice.com/read/the-child-rape-assembly-line-0000141-v20n11 Somebody else placed this on Reddit a bot supposedly deleted it as though it was a non story and it wasn't. This is a serious issue and needs to be pooned, spread it as nobody else touched it either. othamist.com/2013/11/12/ultra-orthodox_sex_abuse_whistleblo.php can you say sick bastards, and the DA might have been set up I'm not sure
ALL children abused by members of their own religious group, no matter the denomination deserve to be heard and protected. Lets not allow this to descend into a, stoush of religious ideologies dressed as a 'Yur relegion has more predators than mine concern'. I believe the far more topical issue raised by OP is the story was squashed by Reddit I believe, by accident or by deliberate act I do not know. This should be remedied. please stay on target

commissar there is a thread about this problem, although you have found more examples. Religious abuse of children and the dispossessed is a huge problem. There are links in the previous thread to academic discussions of this. It is an example of the evil humans can act out when they are in positions of power. Any thoughts on how this can be addressed?
From searching on the web, and there an infinite number of stories from just about every single religious sect known to man, It looks as if this matter is already being addressed . Unfortunately, generally speaking, this is a phenomena as old as time.
I agree. Your examples are awful. Please share sources you found. We can point out problems, it's better when we talk about solutions. One solution is bringing attention to the cases. Can you think about how some of these people can be helped?
This Powerful people in hierarchies can abuse people and hide it under the guise of religious "secrets", especially using rituals to cover their tracks.
I see no need to bring attention to the cases. There are links for each source posted in this thread. Here is an example of trained professionals addressing this very issue. There are a great deal of organizations like this. http://www.pcar.org/special-initiatives
