Shocking expose reveals more than 700 survivors of abuse from Southern Baptist leaders and staff
While the Catholic church has suffered much of the attention for hiding child molesters and abusers, the Southern Baptist Convention was outed this week for hundreds of complaints.
An extensive joint report from the Houston Chronicle and The San Antonio Express-News outlined the accusations dating back to 1998. The project took the papers more than six months to gather the details and search for accusers.
The first of three parts was printed Sunday revealing 380 leaders and staff who were accused of some form of sexual abuse. Of those, approximately 220 have been convicted or took a plea deal and 100 remain behind bars.
These accused abusers left an estimated 700 victims in their wake. Some survivors were as young as 3-years-old.
But surely its just Muslims and Catholics that abuse kids ?
Where are threads condemning this religion ?
When will Southern Baptists condemn the actions of their church in covering up these scandals ?
