I am so proud of these sisters for seeking justice and closure. I am inspired by their willingness to share their story so that others might feel brave enough to join them. I hope with their challenge to the current prophet that the tracking system that started in 1995 by that prophet will be used the way it was strongly outlined & that " In instances of abuse, the first responsibility of the Church is to help those who have been abused and to protect those who may be vulnerable to future abuse." & "Where there has been offense, there is a penalty. The process of the civil law will work its way. And the ecclesiastical process will work its way" & "But can they ever again, in their lifetime, serve in any capacity that would put them in direct contact with children? Absolutely not. Forgiveness does not remove the consequences of sin. Protection of the family is a first principle of the Church." are rules & not exceptions. That they weed out any 'Good Old Boy Clubs' & and people trying to shame victims into silence that are helping perpetuate the problem instead of getting help and safety for the victims...and knowing that this is a terrible sickness that needs professional long term help. And I loved that one of this sisters asked "how would they know they never asked me"..when the father was saying he was reformed sounded like another great addition to the process. As a member I was appalled at all I have learned & my eyes opened that this is so prevalent in Christ's church. I will end with President Hinckley's remark "It is something that cannot be countenanced or tolerated. The Lord Himself said, 'But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea' (Matt. 18:6). That is very strong language from the Prince of Peace, the Son of God." I too am on board to making sure that it is understood that this is a Crime and a Sin. That the civil law is there to punish & treat criminals & should be the 1st thing done before anything religious is even considered. Keep up the good work!
