MrTheocracy - I am not a wild dog. Shouting with caps is rather ridiculous.
If someone broke into a kingdom hall and stole items, the police would be called. If someone in the hall steals a child's well being and mental health by molesting them - well instead of the police, they call the WT. And if there isn't another witness, too bad for the child and great for the molester.
See, you call the police because they can take fingerprints and collect evidence. They interview neighbors and take statements. They check databases for similar MO's to see if the crime is related to others. JW's use the police in these "mundane" matters. That doesn't happen for children.
As for the parents, many follow the WT's line of emotional reasoning that to report this to the police, would be to bring Jehovah's name in reproach. If you think that isn't true, then why is it from the example in Australia, those 1,000 plus cases of child sexual abuse were not reported?
And to say Well the WT doesn't hinder anyone from going to the police, they neither encourage it.
You didn't reply or comment on my earlier post about being responsible for the repeat offenders. I guess you had none.
