Please, help me to show the USA that a public inquiry into child abuse...
by defender of truth in.. in institutions is needed.
it needs to be done as soon as possible.. and i need you to help me.. i need someone, maybe more than one person, to draft a template, for a letter to the white house.. it has to clearly state that the usa is falling way behind many other countries, in terms of protecting children in institutions nationwide.. it has to make this clear: .
both australia and the uk (independent inquiry into child sexual abuse in england and wales, see here: www.csa-inquiry.independent.gov.uk/about-the-inquiry ) are currently investing large amounts of time and financial resources to research the best possible policies to protect children, across all institutions, religious and nonreligious.. they are working to expose the failures of various institutions, that have not reported child abuse, or have even covered it up... why are the united states of america not doing the same?!!.

@ defender of truth...
If that's real, I'm pretty sure it's a form letter*.
*And if it's fake, shame on you.
@Vidiot:
Do you honestly think that I even have the intelligience to write something like that? I stink at letters.
And is there any particular reason you felt the need to publically suggest I may be lying?
Does it make you feel any better to put down the efforts of others?..
Like so many other times on this site, I wish I'd never bothered..

Just so this thread wasn't completely useless and uninteresting, I just thought I'd share this response from the President.
(Only 4 days later, impressive!!)
I directly asked him why the USA have not setup a public inquiry into child sexual abuse, like UK and Australia have done.
Dear XXXX:
Thank you for writing. Every child deserves to be cared for, cherished, and kept safe from harm. As a father, I understand there is no higher priority than raising our next generation with the support and resources they need to achieve their dreams.
How we treat our Nation’s children sets a powerful example that shapes their character and influences the kind of people they will become.
That is why my Administration is building awareness about child abuse, strengthening responses to it, increasing support for children in need, and implementing solutions from scientific research about what works for kids and families. I also signed legislation to create the Commission to Eliminate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities, and we are investing in evidence-based state and local programs that encourage positive parenting and help to prevent child abuse and neglect.
To learn how you can help prevent child abuse, visit www.ChildWelfare.gov/Preventing.
Again, thank you for writing and for lending your voice to this critical issue. When the well-being of any child is compromised, our country is deprived of enormous potential and our society fails to uphold our founding promises of dignity and freedom. Together, I’m confident we can safeguard a brighter future for all our daughters and sons.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama
OK, I'm off for a while now.
Have a good day everyone, and thanks for the replies ;)

bloody religion !!! how could any sane people do this - 2 girls to be raped as a punishment for their brother's "crime."
by fulltimestudent inbeen sitting on this for a few days, confining my anger, to an area where i can control it.. two indian sisters to be raped as 'punishment' after brother eloped.
two sisters in india - one aged only 15 years - are to be raped as "punishment" for their brother running away with a married woman from a higher caste in the latest case to shock the country.meenakshi kumari, who is 23, and her younger sister, will then be paraded naked with their faces blackened through the streets, according to a ruling from the all-male village council.. the family are from the dalit caste, historically known as "untouchables".
however, the brother fell in love with a woman from the higher, jat, caste.

Xanthippe 5 minutes ago
Please, please sign the petition on the Amnesty site.
Signed it. Great idea, Xanthippe..
You could start a new thread with an eye-catching title?
I would have done, but it was your idea to post that.
We'll all bump it and help them reach 300,000!! (Must resist urge to swear at that village council..)

ReligionOfHatred:
Please send this link to your lawyer..
www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/quotes/apostates.php
Here are just a few highlights..
Modern-day apostates display characteristics similar to those of the Devil. Their mind may be poisoned by a critical attitude toward individuals in the congregations, Christian elders, or the Governing Body. Some apostates oppose the use of the divine name, Jehovah. They are not interested in learning about Jehovah or in serving him. Like their father, Satan, apostates target people of integrity. (John 8:44)
No wonder servants of Jehovah avoid all contact with them!"
The Bible says that apostates are mentally diseased and that they use their teachings to make others think like them. (1 Timothy 6:3, 4) Jehovah is like that good doctor. He clearly tells us to stay away from false teachers. We must always be determined to follow his warning.
What must we do to avoid false teachers? We do not speak to them or invite them into our houses. We also do not read their books, watch them on television, read what they write on the Internet, or add our own comments about what they write on the Internet. Why are we so determined to avoid them?
"True Christians share Jehovah's feelings toward such apostates; they are not curious about apostate ideas. On the contrary, they "feel a loathing" toward those who have made themselves God's enemies, but they leave it to Jehovah to execute vengeance."
"The obligation to hate lawlessness also applies to all activity by apostates. Our attitude toward apostates should be that of David, who declared: "Do I not hate those who are intensely hating you "
(Full credit goes to Jwfacts of course)
Please do let us all know how the case goes, especially if the Judge reacts to any of these quotes..
