Malka Leifer and child abuse in orthodox religious communities

This is today's development Rape-accused former principal fit for extradition

The backstory is rather jaw-dropping. Kids in Haredi communities are kept so 'pure' that they don't know that sex or romance exist. Even Biggles and the Hardy Boys are redacted. When the kids are abused they have no clue what's happening and don't even know the terms for the body parts which have been touched. Not so different from the Catholics I suppose. But at least you get a sense that progress is being made in Ireland, whereas in Israel the abusers are having new opportunities laid on for them by settlement building. Israel has no sex offenders register, and in some towns there's no policing except for the word of the Rabbi.

 
I'm glad this thread hasn't attracted the anti-S crowd. It's diabolical stuff. Not just this teacher fingering the girls, which is what the court has accused her of, but the wholesale rape of children by their fathers in the occupied territories. Completely off the hook paedos, doing everything they want to, with the rabbis saying that no-one can mention it because it would break a religious rule against gossip. No escape for the kids. No help at all.
 
Cults of all types seem to attract this behaviour. The Government and outsiders are evil goes the story. Turns out the evil is closer to home.
