Lakewood: Child abuse must be handled by a beis din which doesn't exist!?

It has been a number of weeks since the Kolko confession and conviction. What lessons have been learned? Of course the most important question is what lesson has Lakewood learned?

On the face of it, it seems that Lakewood made a major mistake in how they handled the Kolko case. Kolko himself has confessed to being a molester to the secular court. He has allegedly also confessed before a number of rabbis who were scheduled to testify to this fact at the trial. Apparently then we have certified by both halacha and secular law that Kolko is in fact a child molester.

However if this is truth is obvious – then why has the Lakewood establishment been silent? Why haven't they at least acknowledged that they made a mistake and apologized to the family that they drove out of Lakewood for the alleged crime of mesira? Isn't it obvious to them that there was no mesira because the father's concern was to protect other children from an actual child molester?

The answer that I am hearing from Lakewood is a resounding, "No!" There are many who still claim that the reporting of Kolko constituted mesira – in particular Rabbi Yisroel Belsky. Rabbi Belsky in fact claimed in a letter that circulated Lakewood before trial that his investigation confirmed Kolko's innocence and that the father – Rabbi "S" was the abuser. The consensus of the reports I have gotten after the trial is that he hasn't changed his mind. This view is shared by many other rabbis in Lakewood. It is true that there are some who have changed their minds – but this is only in private. No one is acknowledging publicly that he erred.

It seems that there are at least 3 factions in Lakewood. 1) Kolko is innocent or at least never was a threat to any children. Since he is not a threat he is not a rodef and therefore there was no justification for calling the police. This seems to be the majority. 2) The other view is that Kolko is a child molester and even without a beis din or even a rav – it is clear that the police should have been called. No one of significance has publicly stated this view. 3) Kolko is in fact a child molester and major rabbis paskened that the police should be informed. However this group – in particular the rabbis – not only refuse to publically state that they paskened this way – but they allegedly lie when they are asked.  They are afraid of telling the truth. Publicly this view doesn't exist.

Furthermore the population in Lakewood has 3 different approaches to understanding the conditions for calling the police.

1) A beis din of 3 rabbis is required to hear the claims and testimony of kosher witnesses is required. The purpose of the beis din is to determine halachic guilt or innocence. This approach asserts that without an explicit psak from a beis din – it is prohibited to go to the police. Even if guilt is determined – but if the beis din says that the matter can be handled internally – it is prohibited to call the police. This is the view explicitly stated by Rav Menashe Klein.
2) No beis din is needed since they have neither the power or competence to investigate the matter. However a rav needs to be consulted as to whether there is raglayim ledaver – credible evidence. The rav serves as the gatekeeper – but he is not poskening guilt or innocence. This is the view of the Aguda.
3) There is no reason to consult either a beis din or a rav. It is enough that that there is credible evidence that abuse has occurred. Since we are dealing with rodef – self‑protection – no rabbinical authority is needed. Only normal human judgment and knowledge is required to make the decision of whether to call the police. This is the view of the RCA and Rav Belsky's letter posted to the RCA website.

Unfortunately whether one needs to go to a beis din or not is at this point a moot point in Lakewood. That is because a person with an abuse allegation, no longer has a beis din in Lakewood dealing with these cases. In addition apparently no rav will posken these issues and publicly stand by his views. Anyone who goes to the police after receiving a psak will be labeled a moser. Thus the problem for Lakewood is – there is no longer any acceptable rabbinic mechanism for dealing with these cases. This was also the problem for the Aguda when they announced a few years ago that a rav (not even a beis din) had to be consulted for raglayim ledavar – and then a year later they acknowledged that they had no rabbonim who were willing to be publicly designated to deal with child molesting!

In Lakewood this is allegedly the result of a dispute been Rav Malkiel Kotler and Rav Mattisyahu Solomon. Rav Kotler is allegedly opposed to having a beis din for these matters and Rav Solomon is allegedly for the beis din. I was told by a number of sources that the beis din of Rav Solomon was dissolved after it ordered on alleged perpetrator to quit teaching and he threatened the beis din with a $10, 000, 000 lawsuit. The final nail in the coffin of the beis din was that Rav Kotler publicly sided with the accused. Thus Lakewood has a "catch 22" situation. Everyone acknowledges that child abuse is harmful and therefore halachicly it must be stopped. But there is no longer a mechanism in Lakewood for dealing with the problem so therefore the problem can't be dealt with! The only thing that can be dealt is condemning those people who go to the police without the permission they can't get.

This conflicting confusion in dealing with child abuse – is not limited to Lakewood. It is also clearly present in Rav Belsky. On the one hand he strongly condemned Rabbi "S" as a moser and a molester – and yet publicly published a statement on the RCA website saying that someone with credible evidence should go to the police (without mentioning either a beis din or a rav). In contradiction he is also quoted as saying that "in Lakewood we don't go to the police." However to show that he was serious about calling the police he said in the RCA statement that in one case in Brooklyn he had actually advised going to the police. So Rav Belsky does favor going to the police in certain circumstances - however most cases of molesting apparently don't meet his standards.

In sum, in Lakewood "one does not go to the police" and even though there are major rabbonim who will permit it in certain cases of abuse – they will never acknowledge that they permitted it. Thus no one will go to the  police because they definitely will be destroyed as a moser. In Lakewood abuse is denied or covered up (in the immortal words of Rav Mattisyahu Solomon at an Aguda Conference). Sometimes molesters are asked to go to therapy - without any way of making sure they comply. Sometimes molesters are sent to Israel or other communities. There was even a case of the Lakewood establishment in which the rabbis naively tried curing pedophilia by have the pedophile marry an innocent orphan who didn't realize how she was being betrayed by the rabbis that she had been taught to blindly respect. In addition I have heard allegations that even when Rav Solomon's beis din was functioning and telling molesters to pay for therapy for their victim – that some of these molesters went on to molest other children - because they were allowed to keep teaching. Of course after molesting again, they again went to Rabbi Solomon's beis din – but the police were never called.

  3. If Rabbonim cannot be convinced that reporting molesters to police is not mesirah then let the people have their say by putting the Rabbi into a virtual cheirem and not go to their shules and not have anything to do with them. Called voting with your feet.

  4. Yehudah is a melech because he admitted the truth. Lakewood needs to admit their "system" for handling molestation has failed.

    those who approve of the above, do they insist on a rav, or would consulting any professional who is trained in these matters be sufficient (or even better than speaking with a non-professional rav)?

    Hitler y"sh had a policy and it was not crazy.

    During World War One, when Hitler was a corporal in the German army, he could not understand why Germany collapsed militarily at the end of the war if it was actually in a winning position. Seems that someone gave the order to retreat right before the war ended (Hitler blamed the Jews, the so-called "November [1918] 'criminals'"]) and it ended in a rout as the whole army then scrambled to run back home to Germany and the fronts caved in, especially the Eastern Front where Germany had already extracted a surrender from Russia at Brest-Litovsk. So it was a shock to find out that instead of enjoying a victory over Russia that it had defeated on the battelfield, Germany became the loser, something that Hitler y"sh was determined would never happen again.

    So when World War Two came around and Hitler was in charge, obviously as long as his victories rolled in they were all happy. But the moment Germany started to lose battles and the professional German Army Field Marshals asked for permission to withdraw, Hitler was adamant and never ever gave the green light for anyone to withdraw. The orders he gave were always the same, fight unto death for the glory of the Fatherland and try to go on the offensive even if it was patently impossible and defied all logic reason and facts. This policy was based on Hitler's own experiences from World War One, that once, and if even once, an order is given to withdraw, it is a de facto admission of defeat and failure and it can and will lead to and induce a rout and collapse of the whole front.

    That is how Hitler kept the war going from 1943 to 1945 when it was obvious that Germany was going to lose, but Hitler knew that as long as he kept his men in the field defending every inch they had conquered and stood their ground that one thing was for sure, there would be no rout as happened in World War One, morale would remain good, and there was always a chance to launch counter-attacks, which he did, like the Battle of the Bulge and the use of V-1 and V-2 rockets against the British, developing the world's first jet fighters, and getting close to getting nuclear arms. Hitler would fire generals even at the most dire moments for his army and put in ones with a fighting spirit who could ward of defeat for as long as possible.

  12. This nonsense is alive and well all over. Kramer was sentenced in Melbourne Australia last week. This sentencing, together with a last minute very moving victim impact statement, has prompted other victims of Kramer to now belatedly come forward. Problem is, a major victim that I know about has decided that he has to first...ask a Rabbi. But wait, the head Rabbi was one of those who sent Kramer away to Israel when he was found out then, instead of calling the police, or letting anyone else call them.

    In my opinion, even many of those Rabbis who now lips-synch the message "go to the police" are really not serious, and the understanding of many in their communities is that while the public message is "go to the police", the desired course of action is to go to the Rabbi, who often has a different agenda altogether, eg Kolko/Lakewood/Belsky/OU/RCA etc.

    I find it amazing that you wrote an article yesterday regarding Lakewood/Rosh Yeshivahs/molestation.

    What surprised me is that in the write-up you used the word 'alleged' on 7 different occasions. How could an honest journalist make comments or criticize others when the word 'alleged' is used repeatedly?

    I'm certain you are aware that the reason you are writing 'alleged' is to protect the writer from potential liable suits. At the very same time, the writer is unprepared to stand up against potential libelous statements. Perhaps a person who considers himself 'daas torah' should not engage in that type of journalism if in fact it's considered journalism.

    I recognize how serious molestation is and it should be dealt with within the framework of halacha. Although your initial quote from R' Sternbuch regarding molestation was incorrect, you may want to check with him (since you consider him your Rebbe) if quoting comments from 'alleged' sources regarding Lakewood, Rosh Yeshivahs and Batei Dinim doesn't border lashon horah.

    I write to you since you may be an 'alleged' talmid chochom.

    Dear 'alleged' Orthodox Jew,

    Since you consider molestation very serious and it should be dealt within the framework of halacha, how have these alleged Batei Dinim, alleged Rosh Yeshivas, dealt with such up to now? What have they done to protect the public at large, especially children from full fledged shfichat damim of the rodef? Lashon hora is issurei, and Rodef is skante, klum ma asiso, uma asisem shelo tishtapach damam shel yaldei Yisrael? The victims are real, the retzicha is real, and NOTHING HAS BEEN CHANGED! Please explain that in all these decades, Lakewood, Batei Dnim, and Roshei yeshivos alleged geonei eretz, alleged geonei tevel couldn't come up with ANYTHING AT ALL, other than to motzi shem ra on the victims? At best, turning loose shuolim shuolim mazikim mechablim bakromim. They have actually sent these RODFIM to greener pastures, where they continued their asher korcho baderech vayzanev becha nechsholim umichsholim to the unsuspected, Hayitachen? How does that differ from opening the barn of a shor hamued a raging bull lirshus harabim? Haloy Bedinei nefhoshos onu askinan. It is not alleged, but these mazikim have a track record of Rodef achar hazachar, veachar hadomim, veachar hanefoshos, veachar Tinoikes shel beis rabon, veod yadam netuyah.
    Rav Shternbuch vesiyato, not ALLEGEDLY, but clearly said these are Rodfim and to call the Mishtara at once. And yes, Dina demalchusse dina IS within the framework of halacha, and they can, and do, and have done, more than something about it, let alone these so called allegeds. Therefore, calling your self an 'alleged' Orthodox and an 'alleged' Jew, hodo'os baal din kemea edim damya. Yasher kochacha, yofo dibarta venoeh darashto.

It is more important to keep our children safe than feel satisfied that we have retributed

  24. In many cases, neither the jail nor the therapy would make the molester go straight in the long run. Jail, at least, keeps him out of circulation for a time, we hope a long time.

  25. @ Gershon,

    AA, I am all for it. There are different levels of substance abuse, and various addictions. Some are curable, some managable, some under control. Paedophiles are beyond all of the above, just like a Sorrer Umore's addiction, the Torah acknowledges it is beyond control, venidon al shem sofo, and Paedophiles already have served notice on society, lo kol shekein. If they should let them go after a few years, they go right back at it, therefore, it is necessary to throw away the key. Remember, it must be Weberman proof.

    As far as retribution, it always states velo "yezidun od", that is two for the price of one.
