Good points Listener. Though a question about child abuse, not child sexual abuse. And I don't think I've seen this subject come up anywhere : What about a case where a minor who volunteers at an assembly or quick build or even at a kingdom hall cleaning programme is injured in any way. Lets say hypothetically at a district assembly held at a major auditorium where the witnesses have rigged there own platform and stage. In the dismantling of that stage, untrained and unqualified riggers have felled a major beam which has crashed 3 storeys down onto an unsuspecting crowd of volunteers,
Its missed a group of elders and other volunteers. Yet spliced open the head of a 15 year old volunteer who is also a pioneer. He lays unconscious in the hands of his best friends and is carried to the first aid room where a witness who is a GP puts 7 stitches in his head and sends him home laying down in the back seat of his friends car.
Strange, the following year at all assemblies there are new safety measures in place by the city overseer Des Zanker. But no care shown to the 15 year old pioneer who suffers migraines and dizzy spells since as "any sympathy shown may be seen as liability in this case"
Abuse isn't always sexual.
