My families religion had numerous cases of child abuse that was hidden for years. Each time it happened the offender would be moved to another place. The kids were not believed and were too scared to speak about it. Someone left the religion and wrote a book about it and since then many have come forward.

@meggie Hopefully that puts a little fear in the predators.

@Lostpoet i believe it has stopped but even now a lot of the congregation call the kids wicked and refuse to believe it.
