"The Child Abuse Royal Commission has exposed what might be the worst culture of sexual abuse and cover up within a church that we have ever seen. That church is the Jehovah’s Witnesses." - Public Media

"I used to pray to Jehovah to put angels around my bed to stop my father coming to me, but He didn't help me and my father didn't stop." - child abuse victim BCG, former Jehovah's Witness
29 July 2015 | ABC NEWS
A paedophile who admitted to molesting his daughters was not believed or sanctioned for it by the Jehovah's Witness Church, the royal commission into child sex abuse hears.
It is the second day that church elder Dino Ali has been questioned about the way he responded to one particularly shocking case of abuse.
Yesterday a woman known by the initials BCG, who was a member of the Mareeba congregation in Far North Queensland in the 1980s, 1990s, told the commission that when she spoke to the church hierarchy of the abuse against her and her three sisters she was treated with disdain.
This morning, in the face of new evidence, Mr Ali was questioned by counsel for BCG, Pauline David, about why no finding of abuse was made despite the perpetrator BCH making a confession.
...The commission has heard the church has not reported a single suspected perpetrator of child sexual abuse to police despite there being more than 1,000 since 1950.
BCH was eventually tried and jailed once his daughter left the church and reported the abuse to police.
Mr Ali was questioned by counsel assisting the commission, Angus Stewart, this morning about why the church did not take that step itself, seeming to suggest the church believed it was up to the perpetrators to report themselves.
Angus Stewart: Do you not think this man should go to jail?
Dino Ali: I'm very happy that eventually he did for what he did.
Mr Stewart: Well, that was only because BCG, some years later, found the strength after she'd left the church to report to the police. In the interim, you and your colleagues didn't report to the police at all.
Mr Ali: No, we didn't.

Hmmmmm

Jehovah's Witnesses have a strong policy of not reporting members to the authorities.

It is very horrifying that over 1000 cases were reported in Australia. There are countless in the US and the UK of same child abuse.

Can't help but imagine what the total number would be Worldwide.

JW's please watch your kids and siblings closely so they can be safe from predators (paedophile)...
