The Brooklyn DA's office, sent out a invitation to numerous people. It was alleged that Kol Tzedek [Sheker] whitewashed many sex-abuse cases. We still have to hear of any cases that Kol Sheker reported to prosecutors.
It is also alleged that the Guest Speaker at this event, Ms. Patricia R. Attia, LMSW, Ph.D supposedly treated Andrew Goodman who allegedly molested many kids, and was involved in drugs — and sits now in Rikers in lieu of two million dollars bail — and she never reported him as mandated.
It seems that this clique, inclusive of Agudah, Satmar, Lakewood, Kemenetsky and other so-called rabbis, who are supposed to be our protectors, are our worst enemies. What I can't understand is, how the organizer of this conference Ms Beth Kaplan, that runs the organization Sacred Lives — and who happens to be a good person — got involved with this bunch.
What should we learn from this?
If you or your loved one is or was molested, do NOT leave the reporting to a Social worker or Rabbi, CALL THE SEX CRIMES UNIT of the Police Department, and get proof that your complaint was recorded. We live in a world of "אם אין אני לי, מי לי — If I am not for myself, who is [doing] for me".
MANDATED REPORTERS MUST REPORT SEX ABUSE OR GO TO
