Topic Wiki

I created an account to say this

I am a survivor of abuse

I tried to type up a longer, more detailed post but it got too hard. The bottom line is the following

There's no such thing as universal feelings, reactions, desires, needs that all victims share. Each one is an individual who suffered alone and carries the unique scars that stay with them and each one will react to future situations in life in their own way.

Therefore, there is no single response to abuse that will leave all victims feeling safe, secure, validated, supported, closure and everything else all the well meaning people here want to give them.

However, I think there is a single response that would leave all victims feeling further pain and trauma and that is "It can't be."

No
I guess let's make sure we have the same vocabulary: what does "reputable" mean?

Definitely not someone who is known to be controversial. Let’s start with that!

Simple chauvinistic sexism IMHO.
That is why male victims got the same thing or worse?

You don’t think he considers himself reputable ? Then why even have one in the first place ?

No Beis Din. Go straight to law enforcement. Find me a BD that everyone will listen to in regard to money. There's always gonne be people not trusting that BD. Same with this.

I don’t know what he considers himself.. but if he doesn’t know that he is controversial, then he is delusional… on a local level if both sides agree to go to him then it’s on them and it’s fine, but something this sensitive should be done by a BD that is widely accepted. That’s the only fair thing for the victims…

Amazing how naive people are thinking that going to authorities is such a simple perfect solution. Without a rock solid convincing case they won’t even look at your case. And when they do, the accused lawyers up, and drags the case years, and without convincing a judge or jury without a reasonable doubt they go free.

How so?
Which victims? The ones he claimed he met? This is circular reasoning…
Even if the alleged victims thought it was a good idea, he should have known better… I’m sure the victims are not happy with all the confusion going on now, which could have easily been avoidable had this been done by a widely accepted BD.

To paraphrase groucho, I wouldn't sit on any beis din that would have me as a dayan.
