MESSAGE CONCERNING SEXUAL PREDATION OF SMALL MINORS ON THE PART OF A MINOR IN TZFAT *REJECTED* BY MODERATOR OF LARGE TZFAT YAHOO! LIST

Directly below you'll find a message that I wrote, which the moderator of the large Tzfat Yahoo! group refused to post.

Below it is the comment that accompanied the rejection.

I cannot understand the rationale in her reaction to this topic.

I also cannot understand how any community can stifle discussion about child abuse.

Rereading this passage that I wrote, I see that there may be some equivocation: I wrote: One woman said that although her daughter was abused she will not file a complaint. She said that if her father (the victim's grandfather) knew about it he would kill the child.

So, please allow me to clarify that the child that this mother is afraid of her father killing if he knew is not the perpetrator, but her daughter, his grandchild, the *victim*.

There is no equivocation in the original Hebrew, as it is a sex specific language, and makes it clear that she is referring to her daughter, not the perpetrator. So, she is not going to lend her support to the complaint and will instead look for another place to live. The Welfare Office, the article claims, said that they won't look into the matter because they only take measures against families who have files in their office - which is a bald-faced lie and in contravention of the law.

Friends, there once was a time when child abuse, wife abuse and sexual abuse in the Charedi community was no more, and probably less, than in other communities, Jewishand non-Jewish. I am of the opinion that the Charedi community is being infiltrated by nefarious interests in order to destroy the community from within. All indications point in that direction: the widespread and horrendous abuse, the "Rabbis" who "posken" (decide new Jewish Laws) in contravention of Halakhah (Jewish Law), the weirdo take on the Kabbalah (like Avraham the Kabblah Stoner), the widespread use of drugs and drinking in the Charedi community, the admission of chozrim b'tshuvah (newly religious) with a criminal background before they demonstrate a real desire for rehabilitation, the trance music to which they set Hebrew lyrics, getting young couples of chozrim b'tshuvah married while they are still in the thrall of abuse and trauma they endured...the list goes on.

WAKE UP! There is a war on for our Souls.

I'm not bashing the Charedim. I'm aware that they are under attack.
