It's not only immoral and illogical to pursue unsupported charges fueled by moral outrage; it's counterproductive. If the guy gets off because the case wasn't airtight and he's innocent, his life is ruined and the actual culprit got away; if the guy gets off because the case was airtight and he's guilty, he learns that he can get away with it.

To all those who are in a rush to dismiss this as rubbish, I want to ask you one question,
WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN, IF IT'S TRUE?
And another question.
If you were one of those children, what would you want good adults to do?edit on 21-6-2011 by wcitizen because: (no reason given)

Protesters rallied yesterday outside government offices in Dublin to demand that the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) stop shielding child rapists in the Catholic church, and threatening citizens who demand action.
Gerry O’Donovan, a member of the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS), joined with Kevin Flanagan, Dave O’Brien and others in delivering a formal letter of protest to the government because of the DPP’s refusal to bring charges against a Catholic priest, “Brother B”, who has raped at least nine girls.
The protesters also pointed out that the DPP has even threatened to sue anyone who demands the prosecution of suspected child raping priests.

Which guy? Who are you referring to, please?
These children deserve much, much more help.

The accusations in the OP and in the testimony of A. True Ott, which appear to be baseless.

This is true, but they won't get it from witch hunts.
News reports cited a statistic that 800,000 children disappear every year—or about 2,000 a day. Seriously? How reliable are these numbers?
When the categories get conflated, the statistics can become confusing. Take the number 800,000: It's true that 797,500 people under 18 were reported missing in a one-year period, according to a 2002 study. But of those cases, 203,900 were family abductions, 58,200 were nonfamily abductions, and only 115 were "stereotypical kidnappings," defined in one study as "a nonfamily abduction perpetrated by a slight acquaintance or stranger in which a child is detained overnight, transported at least 50 miles, held for ransom or abducted with the intent to keep the child permanently, or killed."
But in other ways, the NCIC may understate the figures. Many missing persons aren't reported at all—a 1997 study estimated that only 5 percent of nonfamily abductions (in which a nonfamily member detains a child using force for more than an hour) get reported to police. Some police departments may not even bother filing a report when a kid runs away from home for a few days. It's also easy to lose track of abduction cases, since some of them get filed away under associated crimes, like homicide or sexual assault.

I see children being terrified and terribly abused and hurt.
Oh, it ABSOLUTELY matters. For every demonstrably false accusation, there becomes less and less credibility when a real case is brought to light. You can't have reasonable doubt if there's no reason to doubt, but for every false claim, the reasons to doubt grow...

You mean to tell me that Satanists and Latter-day Saints are not viewed with undeserved suspicion when they're accused of awful things?

Once again, I'm not talking about the documented cases you've mentioned. I'm talking about the testimonies of self-serving "whistleblowers" like Ott and the OP.

That is something I really people don't go into. Picturing it is too negative.

if it becomes clear that certain organisations are involved with dark activities and someone is known to be a member of such a society, I guess it's not unreasonable to ask questions.
Your conclusion is that Ott and the whistleblower in the OP are self-serving,which is your opinion, but it's also possible that may not be the case.
As far as my interpretation is concerned, Ott makes no specific allegations of a crime against any individual
and gives sources for many of his statements.
With regard to the OP, others have said similar things. That doesn't make it true, of course, but for me at least there are enough similar testimonies and other circumstantial facts to make me believe these things do happen.
