    Living with the Trauma, Living with the Terror,A & Living with the Truth Sexual Abuse can be repressed with the trauma revisited in sensory triggers and stressors which set off a vivid revisiting of the molestation and exploitation. The horror can be replayed on the mind’s eye without reprieve, muting and dulling life’s joys and exacerbating life’s reversals. It is a rape of the soul.

    with the greatest sympathy to this korbunes crying out your ordeal in public has terrible side effects

    this kind of issues has to be discussed in truly toradige manner and I believe that they would even allowed some legal actions.

    discussing it on radio shows is just a invitation to problems . vhomivin yuvin.

    The sad part is that unless he has the prefix of a YESHIVA MAN or it happens to the son or daughter of a ROSH YESHIVA then every one simply says it CAN NOT BE TRUE. Innocent untill guilty etc. I rerally hope this is the maka bepatish and the BIG Rabbis will finally get their heads out of the sand box especially in the chassidishe world.

    The excuses about “eidus” or kosher witnesses are getting boring, especially since this is an untrue fact. The issue of proper witnesses is a serious one, but our leading poskim discuss the matter (R’ Wosner & R’ Elyashiv Shlit”a). In situations such as this, where actual witness is impossible, there are other acceptable forms of witness. Do bear in mind that the individual who is complaining is not a witness but a “baal din” – litigant.

    The problem will notbe solved onthe radio or through the internet blogs. But the awareness is useful.

    is it true , ken es zayn that there are rebbes and roshei yeshivos that think that messing around with little boys is nisht azoi geferlech, at least nish aza harbe aveira than messing around with women. this is disgusting beyond words, i am also a victim of this by a very ‘farfrumte’ chassidsishe man. i am today a destroyed soul, a shadow of my former soul, i think of suicide often. i used to be an excellent study, i loved learning, today i suffer from constant anxiety and depression. i am at the end of my rope but i feel there is no use in saying anything because the min. i open my mouth i will be denounced as a lowlife a shaigetz an oisverf a bum etc. etc. etc.

    Mr. Emes:

    Eidim are required when bes din is considering punishing the suspect. Like giving him ‘skilah or malkos’.

    What is being asked for in the case of (Y.E.)???

    Is he asking for the man to be stoned to death? (although he should)

    There is a known story of a Soifer that the ‘Noideh Beyehida’ physicly punished without any eidem. He was punished in a way that he could no longer be a sofer.

    You go Dov! Don’t be intimidated by some closed minded detractors – you nare doing a great service by making the public aware of this horrible problem. Of course in an ideal world this would not be necessary or would have been taken care of through Rabbonim in a more private forum but that has not happened and we must do whatever we can to be mefarsaim this so that the schools & yeshivas start behaving reponsibly and not just hide and bury everything at all costs to

    keep the reputation of their Mosad as being 100%

    clean and perfect. We need to face facts. Also parents need to know to educate their children about inappropriate behavior to come forward.

    If there is 100% verification that Mosad directors knowingly covered up for molestors and

    instead wentg affter the poor victims then they should be fired and never allowed to work in Chinuch. If they are the owners of a Mosad it should be boycotted – it would send a message that this will not be tolerated any longer and there are consequences.

    where does it say I the article rabbeim?

    the mob of yeshiva and torah bashers are all frothing and yelling down with those rabbeim those molesters!

    as always , there are a small .001 of rabbeim as well as the general population who are evil.

    that doesnt rationalize the venom against all rabbeim unless there are other issues that they want to blame their childhood problems and further failures in life on others.

    Since your’e such a chochem and know the Torah way

    how about sharing it with us and why hasn’t ANYONE

    implemented the Torah way ??????

    I think the bunch of chazeirim are those that want to sweep this under the rug and talk of some mysterious phantom Torah way that is and has been always taking care of this issue – so we should all go back to sleep.

    Having heard half the show i can say that the content is inappropiate even for adults. With all due respect, Dov should be made aware that some questions (“sex life”) just can’t and ought not to be asked on the radio.

    Our leaders have had years to really deal with the abuse issue in what some of you call a Torahdige manner, but they have not done so. It gets swept under the rug, with more concern expressed for preserving the reputations of the mosdos than is expressed for the victims. L’havdil, in this area our leaders have been little better than the Catholics – Mr. Hikind is doing us a service.

    Not one mention of calling the police and getting law enforcement involved. The molester after fifteen years says he’s sorry. Pathetic. Obviously the statute of limitations has expired so the predator has no problem saying he’s sorry. What kind of message is this sending to the other molesters?

    I have to agree with 11:36. I had to close the radio. It is very graphic, too much for me. But what made me really upset was hearing the pain in “Dovid’s” voice & the feeling that so much was coming up, I felt like I shouldn’t be hearing this, it’s too personal.

    Anyone who doesn’t believe this sick stuff happens by “ehrliche, frum, even Chassidishe” Yidden, get a recording of the show. Nobody can act that well.

    to Yanky…PLEASE get some help. It’s not too late. People DO believe you & there are wonderful people out there who can & will give you everything you need.

    To these evil predators…Yom haDin is coming.

    G-d will judge you. You can NEVER escape that, which will be far worse than any man-made laws.

    Great show, but too explicate,

    the victim that was on the show, needs

    more self esteem, common he faces his molester,

    punch him in the face, and his private parts,

    show him your pain, don’t just cry, even if you feel, like a child to them, be strong

    after all you are an adult show the world

    how to deal with these things

    good luck

    Sickos.

    This stuff is important even if its graphic. PPl need to hear what the molesters do, how they do it, and what happens after they do.

    But you right. I would kill the molester not have him greet the guy and then say sorry. Just mu opnion.

    If the show was too explicit for people to hear, why are these crimes not to explicit for our leaders to tolerate???

    If you are angry at Dov Hikind for discussing it on the radio which you are are free to turn off, why isn’t your blood boiling that children have been forced to experience it???

    For that matter, you should also be yelling that Rav Weissmandel was telling graphic details no one should have to hear when he tried getting the American gov’t to bomb the rail lines to the death camps. There must have been a more ‘toirahdig’ way of dealing with the problem. Too bad all you lunatics weren’t around to straighten him out.

    If all you can cry about is the publicity than all that bothers you is your community’s image. Too bad you all don’t have enough yiddisher rachmanus in you to feel any pain for the victims. You don’t give a rat’s *** about what happened and continues to happen to children so long as the community can still pretend all is well in Brooklyn.

    you do have to turn on the radio (as difficult and distasteful as it is) if you want to help save young yiddehse neshomos.

    They are not going to be helped unless people know all that is being done to them. Look at what has happened until now – NOTHING.

    It is only when these things are Publicized in all their sordid details that anything even starts to move forward.

    So just sit in your house and turn off your radio. Shkoich!

    DOV is doing the right thing. If Rabanim would get involved Dov would not have to do it this way. It is sick people like you and others who do not want to deal with this that it got to come to this.

    And for people that are still in denial the perp went into Dov Hikinds office and ADMITTED THE CRIMES. NOBODY had a gun to the perps head. Dov Hikind happened to know the perp fro 25 years and was shocked but did not act like the many fools on these blogs which always claim that people “they know” can not possibly do any type of crimes.

    We still believe that people who protect molestors are molestors themselves.

    There is only one thing which Dov had no right to address on public radio. Asking a couple about their private life is TOTALLY OFF LIMITS PERIOD.

    If the FCC got a hold of tonights show Dov Hikind would get fined and thrown off the radio.

    Dov does great stuff for the community but why on earth he asked such private questions? It was just not right and very hurtful to many listeners.

    Nobody is saying these things shouldn’t be publicized. I said I (emphasis on I) found it too disturbing to hear “Dovid’s” pain. Yes, I did think it was graphic & no one wants to hear these things. But you are right, it needs to be said. I know all too well about this topic, I’ve been asked to deal with it more than once over the past 25 years. And I 1000% believe it. That doesn’t mean I was comfortable listening to it. See the difference??

    DON’T YOU KNOW SEX IS NOT ‘TOIRAHDIG’?

    Molesting a child is OK. Just don’t talk about it. and certainly don’t use the word SEX.

    (Hey, maybe that is why no one ever believes the accusations against rabbonim and rabai’im. To some people, molestation is a form of sex, and everyone knows toirahdif yidden have no interest in SEX.)

    Time we started telling the truth about these guys so they will be run out of town. So here goes: I personally have seen Yudi Kolko serve cholov stam to frum kids.
