We know thw JW congregations have concealed adult pedophiles. Recently, we have been made aware that JW congregations are concealing the youngest of pedophiles, even ages 4-8.
Unfortunately, most of the children have been molested themselves by either another JW or an NON-JW. But the molested children themselves are now molesting other children, while they "play" alone together at private homes or even outside the Kingdom Halls at night after meetings.
The parents and grandparents of the children are aware of the inappropiate behavior of their own children. Elders were informed about the behavior. Some of the parents and grandparents of the children are elders themselves.
Nothing is being done to prevent the molesting. The children are NOT being taken to professionals for therapy. The parents, grandparents and elders seem to minimize the seriousness of the problem because it is "just children being children" playing, learning and growing. These parents, grandparents and elders are also probably wanting to avoid marring the "reputation" of themselves and these children. But sex abuse is sex abuse and it should never be covered-up.
The children are the ones who suffer because this problem is not entirely addressed. Those children will grow up into young adults and have to deal with either being a victim of sex abuse or a perpetrator of it. The next generation of JW pedophiles is growing up.......
This problem may also be troubling other organizations with children in them. But, the JWs preach that their organization is God's only true organization on earth, which should make them more accountable for these things.
Any form of child abuse is wrong, be it an adult abusing a child or a child abusing another child.
Many congregations are ignoring the problem. It is just going to get worse and the child will continue to be abused, all because the JWs do not want a bad public reputation.
Is anyone dealt with or aware of this problem of JW kids molesting other kids and it being concealed by the parents and elders?
