Report: Cops Blocked Child Protection Workers From Protecting Lev Tahor Haredi Cult Kids
Police detectives trying to investigate human trafficking and forgery in the Lev Tahor haredi cult in 2013, then located in rural Quebec, Canada, blocked province child protection workers from removing children from the cult – children who were allegedly being sexually, physically and emotionally abused, forced into child marriage, and otherwise hurt by cult leaders.
Police detectives trying to investigate human trafficking and forgery in the Lev Tahor haredi cult in 2013, then located in rural Quebec, Canada, blocked province child protection workers from removing children from the cult – children who were allegedly being sexually, physically and emotionally abused, forced into child marriage, and otherwise hurt by cult leaders.
Cops wanted to get enough information from inside the closed cult (and through discovery of forged visas, etc.) to prosecute cult leaders. The decision to wait was especially bizarre because the cult had a history of fleeing and because the cult’s leader, Rabbi Shlomo Helbrans, is a convicted kidnapper of a child.
The delay police caused by police allowed Helbrans and the cult to flee justice. A similar series of bad decisions made in the neighboring province of Ontario soon afterward allowed Helbrans and his cult to flee Canada to Guatemala, where the cult’s children are still in peril.
