I think we can actually agree that this is most likely the response the Savior has when his ordained servants screw up big time.
The obvious elephant in the room is why Jesus allows it at all in the first place. We humans overall take far better care of our children than God appears to, most especially as the focus broadens out onto the worldwide plain.

...The claim by the church's lawyers that background checks would not have turned up anything ignores the deterrent effect of having protective procedures in place...
Exactly. When I read statements from the lds church that include this justification, I am even more convinced that it's just PR run amuck. Because surely, they are not that stupid. Surely.

At the Mormon D&D board, they seem reluctant to mention the Kirton McConkie admonition to not blab and allow the abuser to keep on abusing in this case.

An empirical question but kind of hard to measure as these things go
