Provo city to file charges against LDS bishop

Provo Herald ^ | Nov. 15, 2011 | Jim Dalrymple

[Jeff Head]

This bishop, as I said regarding other bishops and my point there was to say that they, sadly, tragically certainly exist in our faith...did not do his moral duty regarding his members and particularly the abused victim.

It is shameful and should not happen and if the story is as it is depicted here...then he should be released from his position and if it warrants it, charged for the crime.

Ultimately, as with Sandusky and the Penn State people, and as with other denominations who experience these things...such people would be subject to the District QAttorney determining there was enough evidence, a grand jury indicting him, and then a jury of his peers who would hear the evidence.

I have no respect or tolerance for people who, for whatever reason, misplaced loyalties as they see it, perverted since of right and wrong, trying to counsel with or help the criminal...does not matter...I have no tolerance for people anywhere who allow such molestation and crime to go unpunsihed and who do not do the moral imperaitve that rests on us all to protect the innocent and children.

This is a very difficult situation. "Lose lips sink ships" We ever seen that

What about when a prosecutor makes a plea bargain with a privacy provision.

When I worked I had access to.

We don't talk about cases that we come across in the course of our work.

There were cases where people fired for making public information that was obtained for the system.

One was a case of a Congressman involved in drugs and made a plea bargain with a non disclosure.

Here is the case that gave me a real problem. A Stake High Councilman made a plea bargain with a non disclosure.

At Stake Conference how could I and another member that worked in that facility sustain this person.

We discussed this and wondered how we could handle this without disclosing security information and being fired.

Members don't always know what other members are doing.

They are making a movie of Robert Hansen here. He was a outstanding member of the community. His wife had no idea of his double life although items he had removed from some of the women he killed where found in his house.

qualifying ? Where is the qualifying. We must do away with all evil.

[svcw]

All perps needs to be condemned. I do not care where they hale from or what group they hale from.....child predators need to be dealt with.
I am sick of people saying “they need to be done away with but..........”
no they need to be dealt with in a swift manner, given a fair trial then shot.
When you do that, I’ll stop using the term qualifier.

“We have a duty to protect those who can't protect themselves, which are our children,” Siufanua said. “If you reasonably believe that there is abuse that has occurred, or even may occur, … please give us a call.”

I think someone may abuse me and require a full investigation.

When I read that I wonder what the heck does that mean...

Evil is evil it needs no qualifying!
