[RBS] NYT Article on Reaction to Reporting Abuse in Orthodox Communities

[Phil'n'Chanie Rosenfelder]

obviously the molester is most guilty, the people who support them and
belittle the victims come a close second!!!!!!!!!!

but can someone PLEASE explain to me why these little kids are even
going  to a mikva?   and especially, sending them alone, and more
especially sending mentally handicapped kids alone????  it is not
criminal, but it cannot be appropriate.   and in the case of a
mentally handicapped kid, it might really be negligence to send him to
a place with water alone.
 (jungreis was 12 when he was molested at a mikva)
