The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses and thouands of Witness elders have systematically covered up sexual abuse of children and protected abusers from punishment.
For one, there is a policy of "two witnesses" to such a crime. Without two witnesses, they will not act against the abuser.
Even if an abuser is punished, it is insufficient. If he "repents", his punishment is minor. If not, he is merely expelled from the church. No notice is given to followers or the public that he is a child abuser. He is thus able to seek out children in congregations where he is unknown, or seek out non-Witness children.
Elders do not go to police with this information, and if police are informed, elders do not cooperate with them. Please stop them. See petitions http://wh.gov/i32pJ & http://wh.gov/iin6d
