The Haredishe communities punish whistleblowers. They treat the victims as guilty and like they’re at fault.
Sadly, with the YU coverups, I can’t say my camp is flawless here, but there must be accountability all around. Not only did your child’s abuser destroy him and his emunah, but I am sure fear of communal backlash is also destructive in his life, as well.
I support the work of R’ Nuchem Rosenberg, R’ Mark Dratch, SNAP, and the efforts of all people, Jewish and Non-Jewish, to stand up for all of G-d’s children. Tehillim says that children are a heritage from HaShem. We owe them a lot better than abuse and coverups.
