  • VICTIMS CAN PLAY SAME GAME!

    In other forums on abuse in the frum community, it turns out that victims have been intimidated – more like terrorized – into keeping their mouths shut. Rabbis doing this! Attorney Hynes said, “I have only seen such tactics done by the Mafia.”
    Well, what’s to stop the victims from resorting to illegal action to stop this menace from plaguing our community?

  • bunch of know it alls!!

    Can’t wait to see all the juicy comments against this event…

  • Victims, don-t keep it inside!

    BS”D
    THERAPY FOR THE VICTIMS
    Thats what we need to provide. Kids should know that if something happens, they must TALK. You know, once I had an incident, I wasn’t abused B”H but I was getting uncomfortable and I left the situation and called someone to talk to RIGHT AWAY. Thats how we have to be.
    Courageous,
    “Chazak Vey’ameitz libeicho vekoveih el Hashem!”
    Moshaich NOW!

  • Rabbi with half a brain

    Most victims have been crushed and destroyed by their experience. They can barely muster up the courage to tell the police or even their own parents. Taking it into their own hands? Against the mafia? Seriously…

    As a boy who was abused by a women in our community, I find myself in one of the most difficult positions, as I dont even have a forum such as this one to tell my story.

  • Nuchem Rosenberg still up and running

    A hasidic abuse activist, Nuchem Rosenberg,seen in one of the photos holding an orange poster, was grazed by a bullet a couple of years ago because of his activities. Well, it does not seem that he has given up, and, since the first attempt to silence him, I don’t think there was another. I wonder why.
