It has been a good week for sexually abused children.

I remember the Orthodox Rabbi coming into the music store I used to manage. The boss, a non Orthodox Jewish woman in her 70's would always extend her hand to him and he'd always step back from her. She'd say "Honey, I'm well past all that at my age" but he'd still refuse to touch her.

She explained the "rules" to me once and I couldn't help but think how odd such customs are in today's day and age.

According to religious edicts molesters should not be reported to the police, but to Rabbis who would deal with it.
Now........ if the molester is a Rabbi?
