  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hi i am in constant prayer over this situation. My sister has a husband that has molested her oldest daughter for the past 4 years. She is now 17 and ran away due to this and finally told someone. She has a younger sister 13 at home that she is very worried about. He was arrested and charged with simple misdeamenors i am confused about this
but they said she was an adult in fl. But it first started happening when she was 13. Anyways my sister from the beigining has been very nice to him she says she knows it was wrong. But believes that he is finally finding G-d i however disagree and want him kept away from the other younger child. He manipulated my sister and niece telling her, her mom would kill herself if she found out and that noone would believe her. And believe me it was a shock!! I Have known him 10 years he adopted both of the girls years ago. And seemed to be a good father. But now it seems it was lies. My sister believes that G-d gave her him and that restoration is possible. I must first say that i believe in a MIGHTY G_D and he can and will forgive him. But i am not sure that it is right for her to allow her other child to put in danger. She is blinded by i guess love he has went to church one time in the last 6 weeks since it happend. That is a small baby step. But he is trying to convince her it was her fault even at 13... I feel if he was truly remorseful and asking for G-d's forgiveness he would be a man and plead guilty (not no-lo). But she and i have already quit speaking because i told her that G-d wants us to protect our children and by doing this i cannot allow my lil girl around him. I do believe he can be forgiven but i also believe in consequences for our actions. I have pleaded with her in every way i can and still she says i do not understand. She is right i am in a unequally yoked marriage too. But G-d would give me the strength to walk a way from a man that would her my child...... I am at a loss to what to do now except pray pray pray!!!

You are right, she is being dangerously decieved and blinded by this man/ the enemy and she should certainly been removing her child from his presence. He is not displaying any signs of genuinely moving on with God, there is no repentance, he is manipulative, devious and highly dangerous in his present state.

Why was he only charged with misdemeanors? This seems ridiculous!

Do you have relationship with your niece? Can you speak to her and find out if he is abusing her? Can you help the older sister at all?

If there is no more avenues with the police then all you can do is pray. Can you speak to your Mother? If that area of shame was broken you will have a strong ally and the man with have lost some of his grip on your sister?

I will pray too.

There is nothing you can do except pray.

Often when the man in the house is sexually abusing a child, the mother knows and makes the conscious choice to keep quiet and keep the man, at the expense of her child. This is not a new story.

Pray that your sister will choose to act and pray that the little girl will be protected. Might she send her daughter to visit you?

This woman should understand. G-d can and will forgive ANYONE of even these terrible sins, however there are consequences to our actions. My old Bible Teacher used to say if you jump off the tallest buidling downtown, and on the way down ask God for forgiveness, he will absolutely forgive you, but you will still make a mess on the sidewalk.
Part of his consequence ought to be that she should get her kids out of there and NEVER look back! And that's coming from a pastor who thinks divorce is the last option. If it were my kids----I'd have a hard time not killing him, much less staying with him!
