Thank you for providing substance to back up Philege's claims. It would seem the Mormon and Jehovah's Witnesses have similar problems to the Catholic Church. Does that mean that Protestant denominations or Islam are any safer? I doubt it. Any religious structure that suppports male dominance and ingrained "respect for elders" is likely to find itself with the same problems, I fear.

Teach your kids to think for themselves, and teach them respect for their own bodies, if you want to fight child abuse. Child abuse stops one child at a time. Teach your kids about inappropriate behavior before they encounter it. Even leaving them with a babysitter can be dangerous.
