I would agree - except to add that the LDS organization should also be required to pay compensation. The youths were missionaries for the church, specifically, they were acting as authorized representatives of the Church of Jesus Christ, Latter-Day Saints. The parent organization should (also) accept responsibility for their actions.
Are you trying to imply all missionies act like fools!
Also both faiths know that there will be some misfits should the Church pays I believe that those youth should be required to repay the Church!
Are you certain they have not?
