I find few things more sinister than the segregation of children from society, the withholding of information for purposes of indoctrination, and the spread of hostility toward sexuality.

Many religious communities attempt to segregate themselves from society and exempt themselves from secular law.

You may remember the atrocious attempted cover-ups of child molestation under Pope John Paul II, by Cardinal Bernard Law or by Pope Benedict XVI.

These are terrible offenses committed by the Catholic church – habitual rape and torture of children covered up by simply moving the rapists to different congregations, as documented by the Huffington Post and author Christopher Hitchens.

Now, the Orthodox Jewish community of New York has joined the list of offenders against morality.
The following details may be found in a story done by the New Yorker.

Sam Kellner was once a reputable man in his close-knit Orthodox Jewish community located in Borough Park, Brooklyn.

That is, until his son informed him he was molested by a man from the synagogue.
