Something Our Rabbis Seem To Forget - Incest
A friend writes:
Our rabbis always seem to be concerned about what exposing sexual abuse will have on family members of sex offenders. On thing they seem to neglect to look at is the fact that every incest survivors is the child of at least one sex offender. According to statistics 47% of all reported cases of child sexual abuse occur in the home. When our rabbis encourage people not to report sex crimes they are basically saying that it's OK for a father and or mother to continue sexually abusing their child.
