In spite of what our haters claim, many of these articles make a point to express the need to tell the authorities about the abuse. Along with telling parents, police, doctors, or teachers.
Also keep in mind that we publish our articles in hundreds of languages so we are providing information and assistance on how to deal with these issues in places and cultures from all over the world!
As a result, Jehovah’s Witnesses are very aware of the seriousness of the problem, how to prevent it, and how to act if it happens.
