The Reichman case is not isolated. Four ultra-Orthodox rabbis in Brooklyn have been sued or arrested for abusing boys in the past three years. That’s a tiny fraction of the actual abuse, says Hella Winston, author of Unchosen: The Hidden Lives of Hasidic Rebels. She says that in researching her book, she encountered dozens of alleged victims who told her sexual abuse is an open secret in the Hasidic community. But the community is so insulated and the rabbis are so powerful that few dare to come forward.
“If I become known as an informer, then people also won’t want to have anything to do with my family,” she explains. “They won’t want to marry my children, won’t want to give me a job. This is the fear.”

People have been saying this for a long time.
Parents put entirely too much trust in religious leaders.
They're unqualified and untested about how to deal effectively with your children' problems. And then, of course, there's shit like this.
Not trying to provoke stranger danger or anything, it's not that you shouldn't be trusting. But, it's definitely something to think about.

It's not Religion per say, it's mental illness mixed with religion. There are plenty of good religious people. But plenty of bad people hide behind religion. Best way to tell is to look for the person who's not trying to force anything on you, literally:(

It's Religion, not just Catholicism or Judiasm, that is the problem.

something that isnt commonly known outside NYC is that these people via contributions to local politicians and police union leaders are literally treated as first class citizens complete with personal security escorts, shared intelligence and information on local police related happenings and investigations, as well as security detail on synogogues all courtesy of the NYPD and the people's tax dollar.
brooklyn police officers even have a term for this common practice... "beard sitting".

Molestation can come from anyone. People just pick and choose who to bash the most.

Yup, a Catholic Priest in any other outfit still likes little boys, and sometimes girls. Molesters are among us ya'll. Every race, creed, and color.

Yeah it's a really scary story. Hopefully the people that do stuff like that will be brought to justice.
