I would propose merging this with Jehovah's Witnesses sex abuse scandal, but I have two problems.

  • 1: I don't know how to merge articles or I forgot how.
  • 2: The articles seem almost identical.

That's weird. I searched for "Jehovah's Witnesses sex abuse" and didn't get any results, so I created this article. Anyway, I think Jehovah's Witnesses and child sex abuse should be the final article, since it can cover JWs policy on child abuse and history too, without limiting to the current scandal. I copied the info deleted from the Opposition to Jehovah's Witnesses article, so I think the Jehovah's Witnesses sex abuse scandal can just be VfDed. Yeah? --K.

Sure thing. I'll see if there was any useful information from it not covered here. I didn't think there was, but if there was maybe I'll see where I can fit it in. Assuming you didn't already do that. I think the information was mostly the same, just structured a little different.--T. Anthony 03:44, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
I can't find the other article anymore, it seems to just redirect to this one. I am going to remove the "Discuss Merge" template from page. Evident 14:05, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Speed of Reporting Sex Abuse to Civil Authorities

I thought it was important to add the practical consideration of how important it is to quickly report the crime to civil authorities. DNA collection is much more likely to add weight to a prosecutor's case if collected quickly after the crime took place. I referenced the Presidential DNA plan regarding Forensics collection as support for the statement that speed in reporting is critical to successful use of DNA evidence in prosecution.

[edit] someone needs to get a transcpript from the dateline episode on this.

They asked the society to point to a cases where they society turned over pedphile cases to the authorities. The society handed them only two examples both were about a child being molested by someone on the outside of the organization. If my memory did not fail me.--Greyfox 03:03, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
