Vivien Resofsky writes in Jwire:
…I first saw a Rabbi about child sexual abuse in 2004 while I was working at Jewish Care. A terrible example of child sexual abuse was the catalyst. The abuse had gone on for years and finally the girl had the courage to ask for help. She went to a teacher she trusted at [Chabad's] Beth Rivkah Ladies College but the teacher did not help her. Instead she told her student that she was not a pure diamond because her parents were not born into Ultra Orthodox families and had become Ultra Orthodox by choice. (Baal Teshuvah).
Despite the fact that the teacher was mandated to report disclosures of abuse she did nothing and consequently nothing in the girl’s life changed. So the girl did something she could do by herself and began to hurt herself physically. Luckily, she came across a doctor who not only knew how to respond but had the confidence and conviction to respond responsibly.…
Resofsky goes on to document the ineptness and the often willful ignorance of Australia's organized Jewish community to child sexual abuse and then, after a Royal Commission was formed to investigate child sexual abuse in religious organizations, the community's pathetic attempts to present itself as kind, caring and compassionate when it has been anything but.
If you read it, keep in mind that the Taskforce she mentions – the one that has failed to protect children when judged by any objective benchmarks – was and largely remains under Chabad control.
