the new york times is reporting on the ultra-orthodox
the in brooklyn and how their cases of child sex abuse and i don't get me wrong
this is something that happens every day it's not some sort of at at the death
but when there are cases of child sexual abuse
usually what happens is uh... the rabbis in the community tried to convince the
parents to not reported to have borden's the reason i don't want to do that is
because they don't want people to criticize their community criticize
their religion and ultimately undermine their religious and that this is
something that you also see the catholic church right where for her
decades you have sexual abuse being covered up by out freeze by added you
know basically the higher-ups within the dot catholic church but it's also
happening within the whole truck orthodox community in brooklyn so i
think new york times as spoke of specific examples and um... there was
one example of the gauge uh...
boys who was molested at a bath house
and wouldn't that be reported to the authorities he basically got shot it
received the rats uh... from the community and it was the horrible
situation now samuel he'll main uh... who is a professor jewish studies at
queens college
kinda gives us a better perspective as to why this is happening
he says there are more afraid of the outside world than the deviance within
their own community the dvd's threatened individuals here or there but the
outside world threatens a everyone and the entire structure of their world and
i think that's a pretty good uh... explanation yet seems like it dad uh...
failure to report series
uh... motivated by something very different than it was in the catholic
scandals i think that the catholic church
really kind of drove to be well accepted across the globe you know they're
they're missionary religion they've really push to kind of be the leaders of
morality across the globe whereas i think the ultra-orthodox jewish faith
these individuals that have a very tight-knit community and they are not
wanting to report because they don't want to get secular authorities involved
in their community right seems like it's driven by something maybe that's more
similar to what we might see in the ominous
and actually it's interesting when i run this
don't laugh at me to some light went off in my head and i think i feel is in an
episode of law and order and speedy appellate
sets my guilty pleasure t_v_ show that i watched there was an eccentric talked
about this so i don't think this is necessarily
a new feeding i think that this is something that you know maybe
investigative reporters that kind of touched on
throughout the years and and my question is why don't more people telepac
pets yet that's i'd that's the question i want has not only why do people not
know about this because this is something that i think it's pretty much
under-reported you never see is is making national headlines today now
this has to do with child abuse
and in the an entire community covering it up right
and it's not like they're covering it up in the sun away they will literally sent
threats to family members
or anyone who is reporting these excuses to local authority that kicked out of
their home still kind of building the money to like hush money so that
and they're not
doing what they should be doing it
i guess it's one thing if you want to say we don't want the police involved
because our community we don't want
our community to mean goal with the secular community so we'll have our food
kind of police for but that the truth is when you look this kind of mill
repercussions for these actions are at least a minimal at that site so they do
want to handle these situations within their own community right
however at the same time would be to is they don't really
punish or oc
have any consequences for anyone who is accused of doing such things right and
that's why it's a real issue because they never really deal with it
and not idon't an interesting to deal with it you have to report these things
the local authorities probably lost dont haha and especially when it comes to
laws surrounding sexual crimes i mean they get put on sex offender registry is
they're no longer allowed around my ears those are very important laws that were
put in place to protect minors and is that catholic church is
uh... or the ultra-orthodox jews going to deal with it in the appropriate way
we can't depend on them to do so that's why we have on our hands and
i want to emphasize again that this is something that's like running rabbit
within it the orthodox community that's not a direct parallel between the
catholic priest kind of academic right it's not so i don't want anyone to think
that uh... you know we're criticizing you know g
dealt with the docs jerry's related or anything like that
out in front of the view actual numbers of according to the new york times nine
out of fifty one molesting molestation cases dismissed or were dismissed
because the victims backed out
others ended weekly deals because the victims' families were fearful of on
basically retaliation a and what we need it what is wrong with this equation and
when the people being shot and
who the victims
and the people that are the perpetrators of these i mean what i considered the
the most awful crimes he could commit it would be a computer sexual child abuse
and these individuals have been no legal repercussions off they're not being
shunned by their community what does that send a i mean that's
very confusing to me atm at best it's confusing and there
members within the whole towards the docs community in brooklyn who were
trying to fight against this okay bc it has a problem they wanted to ask that
you want to make things better but they are also the victims of threats
and you know they're fearful because they at
to build a even their own family members are being targeted and they don't know
what to do nine a real problem in this country we talk about it again and again
on the young turks is when you have two other men elice who are so
armed with their own ruling jane and its own teachings that they don't care about
the law they don't care about the health and safety of other people they just
care about
what their religion tells them to do work their interpretation of that
religion
and that's the real issue here
