Is there a problem or are you making something up?

Your church should already have guidelines of who should be allowed to be near the children. \n\nMy church has a background check done on all people that want to work with the children.  We also have teams of two workers per each class.  We try to have more women than men work with the children.\n\nAfter classes are done, it is the parents responsibility to keep an eye on their children.  We return their children directly to the parent and don't just let the children loose to roam the church grounds.\n\nWith rules and guidelines in place, a prison ministry should be fine.  Pedophiles are required to let the town they move to know about their background.  You can check your local listings.  They will have a picture of the person and the crime they have committed. \n\nAs a parent, I know there is always potential danger to my children.  Even at church.  The church is supposed to open it's arms to the world in love.  Not everyone that attends has Christ on their minds.

Train the parents of the child on how to raise the child. Government can't take over that role. Look how it currently is done. A place of where child safety would gets its best source of knowledge is from mothers who raise their own children. Have Women run the service on a volunteer basis with no income and there would be an improvement in the CPS service.

sadly your friend is the victom of a good christian upbringing! jesus brought the word of love and pease. man, invented a religion! in this religion a bunch of wackoos got together and dreamed up a lot of sick ideas and made them law. so for 2000 years people fearing eternal damnation have followed these sick laws. now that people have out grown the need for self punishment, a lot of these sick ideas are now criminal offences. for example, your freind was referring to the old addage, "spare the rod, spoil the child" this means you can beat the hell out of your children and feel good about it because," GOD demands it!"  now days, IT'S CALLED CHILD ABUSE!!  a hopfully  the bitch will get turned in and have to sit her ass in jail or at least have her kid taken away from her! don't you just love that old time religion?

Contact your local department of child welfare.  Put the word out to your local churches and schools.  Good Luck.

These pervs love to hide in the church.    They have easy access to trusting adults and kids, usually people that are ashamed to report things when they do happen.  \n\nBut since you have the adult novelties shop yourself, you don't have a lot of credibility, by your own admission, with these people.   \n\nThere was a molester in our community, who married the local horse ranch owner, deacon in the church, and so forth.  He also had a record stretching back years for crimes against women.   When he almost ruined the life of an adult woman, she fought back.   But it was also in a tight-knit community, where she didn't participate, and she had to go through a male friend at the church who was extremely protective of his young daughter.   It doesn't take long for word to spread.\n\nShe also contacted the Justice Coalition, in the county the guy lived in (he went to church in another county where his rep wasn't known), which is a local organization that publishes a small newspaper with Wanted photos, sex offender and sex predator photos, and ongoing news.   The JC people have all lost family members or been victims of violent crimes, and they don't play.   Perhaps you have someone you could speak to about that.\n\nI wouldn't put ANYthing in writing, tho.   Stick to conversations, and I think you can walk the line regarding slander, if you are just expressing concern about little girls in the neighborhood and at church, based on your own daughter with a pending case.  You're entitled to an opinion, but you don't want to antagonize the people you are trying to protect.\n\nGood luck to you.   Sexual predators are the lowest of the low, even in prison.   Hope you get to send this guy where HE can find out what it is to be a victim.

churches have always been corrupted. It is probably best to worship God in your own way.

First, try legal aide.  (NOT the public defender who HAS to take cases).  Legal aide chooses their cases and are dedicated lawyers who care (cuz there isn't money in their jobs....it's non-profit).  \n\nFind all documentation you can get, all witnesses who can vouch for you, any medical records, etc etc...to back you up.  Make your case strong.\n\nThere are many false allegations of child abuse out there...been victim to it myself...there are ways to clear yourself.  Trust in the Lord, get your documentation, find your witnesses, and put it in His hands.

Christians have already done this... they stole children from native american homes and put them in abusive indian schools.  It didn't save them from hell, it hurt them immesureably.

more than we will ever be able to count unfortunately. Most abuse victims are afraid to speak up for themselves, especially children who by society's nature are made to feel like they aren't important. \n\nGoogle the statistics, or go to a child abuse prevention website.

Try to find a church that has a "family room," they are generally sound proof area's with speakers so families with noisy children can hear the mass... Better yet-- locate a church that has a nursery! I know we have one at my parish!  Also, I've seen my aunts and uncles bring books, juice, small snacks with them to mass and that will usually entertain a toddler for an hour. \nI'm ashamed in the first response to this question... never turn away someone who wants to come back to the church!  If Jesus could endure what he did... you can concentrate extra hard during the service!
