I was also reading last week that senior Rabbi were threatening others not to report child abuse... saying, that dobbing on fellow Rabbi was a worse crime than incest...

what... ? 

Are Mohels committing abuse by sucking a childs penis after circumcision. Does that mean that every Jewish male is a victim of child abuse?

Do Mohels get into that business because of the ability to inflict serial child abuse?

Two more babies stricken with herpes after ritual ultra-orthodox Jewish oral blood sucking circumcision in New York City
Since 2000 13 known cases of herpes have been contracted from the religious practice
Two deaths and two babies suffering brain damage have resulted
Department of health warns there being no safe way to perform the ritual that dates back more than 5,000 years

Two more infants have been infected with a deadly herpes virus in the last three months after undergoing a controversial religious oral circumcision in New York City.


The latest cases bring the count to 13 infants since 2000, two of which suffered brain damage and two died from the virus which can rapidly spread throughout its body.


The ultra-Orthodox Jewish practice of metzitzah b'peh requires a practitioner to orally suck the baby's penis   to 'cleanse' the open wound following its circumcision, making them susceptible to the virus.

The department of health says one of the latest infants to contract the virus developed a fever and a lesion on its scrotum, seven days after the procedure. The boy later tested positive for HSV-1. That virus differs from HSV-2, the genital herpes, which is contracted during sexual intercourse.
 
'A herpes infection in a newborn baby has the risk of leading to severe illness and death,' Jay Varma, deputy commissioner for disease control at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene

The religious practice that dates back to more than 5,000 years defies warning by the city's department of health which says there is no safe way to perform the oral suction on an open wound

But some rabbis stand grounded behind the practice, calling it a religious freedom while noting its long history.

In September the department voted to require parents to sign forms consenting to the risks of the practice after the death of two children who contracted the virus through the practice.


The parents of those newly infected boys are said to have not signed those forms.


According to Rabbi David Zwiebel, executive vice president of the Orthodox Jewish organization Agudath Israel of America, two-thirds of boys born in New York City's Hasidic communities are circumcised in the oral suction matter.
 

The health department claims they've had complaints in past by parents who say they weren't made aware that the oral practice would be performed on their child.

satanic ritual .

None of this is exactly 'news' as far as I'm aware

Twelve or more years ago there was an online site which published names, offence, date, court, etc. of jews who'd been charged with sexual offences against minors and the list just went On and ON and ONNNNNNNN

the site was brought down repeatedly, but the owners/members of the site put it back up just as often

until the day the site was removed


MAKO files are still up in Australia yet they perform the same function, and have done for years,  as the jew-paeophiles site


Who you are, who you know, apparently


They'll reap the whirlwind though.  Eventually

Pity the poor Aussie journo who published this latest outrage.  He's probably had dozens of death threats etc. ever since the story broke.  All those stalwarts whose name may not be mentioned are most likely working the system to ensure that journo becomes unemployed.  Or some other dirty trick

Or perhaps he'll have to write a BS headline about 'poor jews' being victimised and bashed while collecting their kids from school in order to atone for writing the truth about one or more arrested and charged jewish paedophiles

The orthodox Jewish community has responded to allegations of child sex abuse within their institutions with “moral destitution” and by “turning on the victim”, the wife of a man who was abused by religious leaders said.

Her testimony to the royal commission into institutional responses into child sex abuse on Tuesday followed evidence from other victims and their families, who also described being attacked and ostracised after coming forward.

The witness, identified only as AVC, said the abuse of her husband occurred while he was a student at the Yeshivah Centre in Melbourne, but he only gained the strength to speak up as an adult.

“As a spouse of a victim and whistleblower, I feel hated and isolated in my community,” she told the commission at Victoria’s county court. “I have lost faith in the leadership of the Jewish community.”

Her husband had been abused by convicted pedophiles David Cyprys, a former locksmith and security guard at the centre, and Daniel “Gug” Hayman, a former director, AVC told the commission.

“Well beyond the horrible acts of the perpetrators against my husband that had ripped the rug of security, certainty and innocence out from his childhood, we are being screwed once more by the adolescent self-serving and callous response of the community,” she said.

“At a time when support and love are needed, we are facing hate and vitriol. No one cares what is right.”

Commissioner Justice Jennifer Coate was clearly moved as AVC described how after her husband went to the police, he was attacked and questioned on Yeshivah internet forums, including by senior figures.

Religious leaders at the centre began to treat the couple’s children differently, and many of their friends abandoned them, AVC said.

“The community’s response to their awakening to the child sexual abuse riddling their community is to turn on the victim and to make them the subject of suspicion,” she told the commission.

“Perhaps it is easier for Jewish community leaders to deflect their responsibility, their mishandling of the situation, by perpetuating the myth that my husband’s supposed desire to destroy the community is behind all these sexual abuse allegations.”

Earlier in the day another witness, Zephaniah Waks, spoke about the prohibition against “mesirah” within orthodox Jewish law, which he said prevented members from going to non-secular authorities.

Three of his sons were abused by various senior staff within the Yeshivah Centre in Melbourne.

Waks said he now believed religions should not be allowed to “hide behind” the rules that dictate their faith to avoid state involvement in child sex abuse investigations.

While he was wary of state intervention into religion, “in matters of life and death, including child sexual abuse, this rule must be broken”, he said.

“If a religious community hides behind false, exaggerated or even real religious precepts to seriously harm people, especially children, I believe the state must interfere.”

Waks told counsel assisting the commission, Maria Gerace, about how he was “reduced to nothing” by his religious community in 2011 when he and one of his sons, Manny, began speaking out about the abuse.

“We felt our world was flipped upside down,” Waks said, becoming so upset he had to pause.

“Every aspect of our lives involved the Yeshivah community. We lived across the road [from the centre]. It felt like we were suddenly reduced to nothing, and had lost all our friends.”

He and his family have since left the country and the Yeshivah community, largely because of the abuse, Waks said.

The commission hearings, which began on Monday, are the first time child sex abuse in the Jewish community has been examined since the commission began its work in 2013. The hearings continue.
