Comment
Spenard:
What’s good is that a young person told a parent, and the parent quickly reported. Shame is a powerful emotion, and these kinds of incidents may go undiscovered until it’s too late. The victims may then become perpetrators later, and the cycle continues.

I hope the adults involved will deliver appropriate punishment but will also do all that it takes to educate these young people. We desperately need comprehensive sexuality education in our schools and society. Human sexuality is a complex phenomenon–beautiful and powerful and potentially very harmful because of its power. The shame surrounding sexuality–don’t talk about it and it will not exist attitude–opens a way for hazing and even for sexual abuse at the highest levels of the church. Many will feel a desire for retribution, understandable, but we also need something more constructive and productive. This could be a teaching and learning moment. Let’s work to break the cycle.

The video was part tutorial — showing people how to call their congressman, down to giving them his office number — and part infomercial, saying she hopes people will call her, too, with concerns.
