Many leaders "forgive" (protect, embrace, assimilate , etc)
alleged abusers because they don't want to be viewed as not exercising grace.
Make no mistake, there is no grace when this is done
at the expense of the victims--whether past, present, or future.

Darkness to Light - End Child Sexual Abuse
Adult Education is the Key to Preventing Child Sexual Abuse
That’s why we exist, to empower adults through awareness and educational programs
to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse.
Darkness to Light -Trust Your Gut
90% of children who are victims of child sexual abuse know their abuser.
It could be a friend, a family member, a teacher, or a pastor.
It’s usually someone who has easy access to children, maybe though youth sports, schools, or other extra-curricular programs.
We know what you’re thinking: “That’s not possible. At least not among my friends, colleagues, and family.”
Unfortunately, abusers don’t just groom a child, they groom the family, organizations, and entire communities.
