Amish have us beat.
That said, we have a lot of kids and we're not exactly on high alert for pedos at every waking moment, so we attract pedos like the porchlight attracts moths.
Recently we've made BSA-style youth protection (aka, how to profile and beat pedos at their game) mandatory for anyone who might have anything to do with kids in any type of official capacity. I had to take the training each year and all I did was play the piano for the kiddos.
That's really good to know.
Yeah.
When you get called to "senior" positions in the church (IE, ward council and above) they start really drilling into your head, "There are pedophiles among us, and we really need you to help identify and drive them out."
IE, if you even SUSPECT that there is child abuse or whatnot, you are supposed to immediately contact the bishop who will get on the "red phone" and call SLC to start the process of getting the police involved.
There is a reason why the church has a HUGE archive of reported child abuse stories -- it is always on the lookout for it and when there is something actionable it will always act.
Every time anyone has reported to me online that there is child abuse in our church, I have reported what I could. Most of the time when I start drilling for any sort of details the accuser shuts up. That's because they KNOW that the church takes it very seriously. If they bring it up, there will be law enforcement action.
I feel the Trump admin made that a thing. Hope it sticks around through the next one.
