Reply #4: When my daughter was in HS there were a few kids of JW parents

[orion007]

who were shunned by their family and the church for rebelling.
Nothing over the top, just being normal teenagers.
Eventually they were all placed in foster care.
From what I knew at the time there was also physical abuse taking place,the school had become involved,they attended the local HS...
The church never reports any illegal activities done by its members towards children to any authorities, so many kids continue to be abused, and the so called "elders" oversee all problems.
Much like certain sects of the Morman religion..
I couldn't care less what the adults believe, but much more needs to be done to protect the children.
You also have the home schooling issue, which is popular among them now but leads to the children not having adults within their realm to go to for help.
Sick and evil in the name of God.
