“The team of investigative journalists work together to find out if JW religious leaders have been systematically maintaining records of reported child abuse within their congregations. At the same time discovering that the process of internal management of cases probably resulted in more children being put at risk as untrained elders took the law into their own hands and keep the scandal under wraps, unable to speak up for fear of losing their status within the religious hierarchy and being “deleted”.
Shocking, heartbreaking and astonishing that confessions of child abuse go unreported to the police for criminal investigation because of misplaced respect for religious confidentiality and a deep mistrust in external institutions.
Expect to feel enraged, frustrated, disgusted and saddened”
