No it isn't. The government is responding belatedly to allegations by numerous people who claim they have been wronged, that children have been and are being hurt, and these people are crying out for justice.
Your position that the children should not be protected and the sexual abuse of children investigated is directed against each of these individuals as much as it is against the government.
You can not separate the two - either in reality or on this forum. You can henceforth expect to be called upon that each time you attempt to do so.
The worst allegations come from former members of the cult themselves. It’s not the government’s allegations about what went on; it’s former wive’s and nephew’s, kicked out men and boys.
The government isn’t making up the charges, it’s investigating what’s been reported to it, as it should. If the people can’t go to the government for help and protection against wrongdoing, what’s left?
We expect our government to protect us from foreign enemies and terrorists and praise them when they do. Why can’t and shouldn’t they be expected to protect us from domestic enemies and terrorists? Must we let the enemy within destroy us as the enemy without can’t do?
