If there have really been minors raped in EA or serious infringements by high-up EAs, then EA would be repeating some of the worst ills of the Catholic church, secularly. Why would one want any part in such a community.
Want to confirm that I got this email when I woke up this morning; Julia and I are discussing it right now (it is still morning Eastern Time, so we had not gotten to it by the time you wrote this comment, though we were planning to talk about it during this meeting before we saw your comment). Thank you very much for sending it our way, we will be in touch shortly.
I’m sure J_J knows this, but for everyone else: If you learn of information about abuse of a minor, you may be a mandated reporter of child abuse and have a legal obligation to report it to the local child-welfare agency. Reporting to Community Health does not count.
I’ll join the choir to say I strongly appreciate your work, and am sorry that you get to carry this burden, and for the negative reactions you got in the comments on this post.
I especially appreciate that you’re trying to do what you believe to be “the best approach to preventing SA/sexual misconduct,” rather than any other consideration.
You’re doing great work. That info was for everyone else—in some jurisdictions, everyone is a mandated reporter of child abuse, while in others the categories are broader than people might assume. So I thought it was worthwhile to educate other people about their potential legal obligations.
This is so many levels of concerning. I don’t think people are really understanding this / processing it.

There are some important misunderstandings here. [Username redacted], I’ll reach out privately to clarify.
Thanks so much for all your incredible work. I can only hope the situation improves somehow.

Really appreciate what you do. Stay strong and thank you so much.
It’s very understandable you dont want to handle this yourself. But I would strongly encourage you not to tell survivors to trust CEA.
