WHO did the harrassing?
Hello.
I am an LDS Youth Leader and Scout Leader.
I can tell w/out a doubt that although we strive to generally teach the youth a more principled and character centered life we oftentimes make mistakes as do they.
The boys are bound by the same constraints that everyone is under. As a leader, I can tell you that we invest the same time, energy and tears that other youth leaders do on the topic of bullying.
I am sorry your son has had to endure personal attacks, my son has to. It’s not fun to watch your child suffer. My son is a swimmer at his HS and, invariably, some of the more type A kids mess with the kinder kids to the point of exhaustion. I cannot reasonably blame the swim team or the coaches for the apparaent lack of character in one or a set of individuals.
That said, I hope that we can, respectfully, agree that it would be unfair to imply that the LDS Church is responsible for the bullying.
This life is not always easy - but it is certainly worth it.
