Human behavior is interesting. We just don't seem to be able to change our beliefs.
I post here that my experience with the church legal hotline is that they take great care in putting victim's safety first. Somehow that is interpreted that the church never puts victim's safety first. I then post that my experience is the police are contacted whenever a victim's safety is in question. Somehow that is interpreted that the police are never contacted.
I guess this is pizzagate 2.0? I suppose nothing I say will ever change anyone's mind. That one pizzagate guy broke into the basement of the pizza place thinking he would find a pedophile ring. When he only found crates of pizza-making supplies, he was certain that proved, without a doubt, there was a pedophile ring in the basement. I used to think those were only the crazies, but now I worry we are all crazies at heart.
Maybe I will keep to the theological threads.
1) Did you ever call the police when a matter of familial sexual assault, abuse, rape, or what have you came to your attention?
2) Did the hotline people ever contact law enforcement for you?
3) Were you aware of any criminals in your congregation who committed a sex crime, were ‘within the statute of limitations’, but law enforcement wasn’t contacted?
Look. Just speak plainly and stop giving anecdotal accounts where you speak in vagueries. You’re anonymous. Any examples you give don’t have to use real names.
In the meantime, I challenge you to click on this link:

and read the entire document. Of note, for the gentle reader, is that
it’s claimed the Mormon church “has a system to track any abusers that come to their attention”. If this were to be believed then it’s evidence the Mormon church knows who these people are, tracks them, but does nothing to stop them <- if I’m wrong on the last point anyone is free to correct the record.

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.
