Children Knitting
How could her religious leaders not see her abuse of foster children for two decades?
BBC News has just reported a Jehovah's Witness woman being found guilty of appalling abuse of 3 foster children during 20 years. Police said her farmhouse was "stinking" and "atrocious" and that this was "The worst case I've ever dealt with". Childrens' skin was rubbed with sandpaper; they were forced to eat excrement, drink bleach, were beaten and burned. This woman attended Tewksbury Kingdom Hall, once putting a sign around a child of hers that read "This child is evil. Do not speak to her."
Did JW elders not wonder if anything was wrong? Did the woman's JW friends not notice the plight of the 3 children? This went on for over 20 years! Was the woman visited and did JWs report anything to Social Services or the Police? Even if they were duped, as were Social Services, has this woman now been disfellowshipped? She has brought God's good name into disrepute and psychologically scarred these children. How could close-knit JWs not notice?
Dear Sasi,
We certainly do live in a sick world, don't we! Every time I think I've heard the Worst News Possible I hear something even worse. I think that everybody who has answered would agree on one thing: We would like to live in a world where such things never happen.
I would like to comment on something actung said -
"Sadly, this questioner continues to demonstrate that her primary interest is in disparaging Jehovah's Witnesses ..."
Where do you get such silly notions? How can any adult who calls themself a human being, not weep to hear such a story and search their hearts to find out what they can do to make sure a similar thing never ever happens again!
Based on what I have observed of Sasi's other questions and her answers, she would be commenting no matter what religion the person was. She is not disparaging jws, she is disparaging inhumane treatment by a so-called human being.
Based also on what I have observed of jws that I know, they are usually the ones with their radar tuned to any unseemly activity on the part of any non-witnesses.
