A New Jersey teenaged camp counselor has been arrested for inappropriately touching several young boys under his supervision. We applaud the brave witness who came forward and reported to police. When those who see, suspect, or suffer child sex crimes speak up children are safer.

The counselor was working at Neil Klatsin Day Camp, which is run by Kaplen Jewish Community Center , when he allegedly inappropriately touched at least three 6 year old boys.

We are glad camp officials informed parents of the abuse and law enforcement were able to interview all the children the counselor had contact with. We urge officials from Kaplen Jewish Community Center and any other organizations the counselor was a part of to seek out victims.

Anyone who saw, suspects, or suffered abuse should immediately call police, help protect others and start healing.
