Most of the reports of abuse that come to the attention of Church leaders come from victims or their families and involve abuse away from Church buildings and Church activities. Church leaders regularly speak out against the evils of abuse, encouraging Church leaders and members to do all they can to protect the innocent. The Church has published numerous resources online to help lay leaders, members, victims and their families, such as the “Life Help” resources on ChurchofJesusChrist.org. It seems, Mr. Jones, that you are focused on reporting on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Ask Church members about the joy they experience as they strive to follow Jesus Christ.
