I am writing on behalf of someone close to me who told me that he gets asked specific, vile questions regarding sexual behavior by the bishop of his church. Whenever his parents think he’s depressed, they send him to the bishop. He said he told his mother he doesn’t want to see him anymore and would rather see a psychologist, but she says, ”He’s fine, what’s wrong with him?” The bishop is a family friend, so he’s afraid to tell his mom the real reason why he doesn’t want to see him anymore. The shame and guilt has caused him great depression and thoughts of suicide, including one attempt. I believe that the practice of asking questions regarding sex to children as young as 8 is beyond ABUSIVE! Children should not be left alone with a man, talking about sex, period! Parents should not allow this!! This practice needs to end RIGHT NOW!!
