Unfortunately, church organizations often enough proved unreliable and exploited kids themselves.

You forgot to mention government organizations. The State of Washington system has a very high track record of physical and sexual abuse as well as many deaths in their system.

In 99% of all cases, the child is much better off with the parents than with the state: governaments do not care about the child, just whatever is easiest for them in the execution of their duties. This is also the same for the Court system, they do what is easiest for them, not the child.

Actually you said churches do not do that well, but they do far better than the state could ever hope. Look at drug treatment programs, the churches acheive success rates in the 70% range, where the recitivism rates in secular programs never reaches double digits. That is because they understand the "humanity" side of the problem, some the secular programs do not even acknowledge.

OOPS. I meant success rates in secular programs never reach double digits.

Re 179: In 99% of all cases, the child is much better off with the parents than with the state: governaments [sic] do not care about the child, just whatever is easiest for them in the execution of their duties.

In 99% of all cases quoting statistics these are made up on the spur of the moment.

You have zero evidence to support your view. Question 1: Do you agree that neighbors, friends, teachers (employed by our local government), and family members should use the police to stop spousal abuse and child abuse?

If you do not agree, what do your propose to prevent injury to a child? You must realize that church institutions cannot be trusted, and often are part of the abuse.

Question 2: Do you agree that there are unfit parents?

If you do not agree, then how do you expect prayer to be rescuing?
