This, my friends is the type of long and futile effort we are attempting. Most of the crimes committed against NTM MKs happened overseas, and they also happened long ago. New Bethany was a home for troubled girls which was in the state of Louisiana. It was affiliated with the Independent Fundamentalist Baptist church. Even in this New Bethany case, a grand jury has decided not to indict the man who raped and molested many girls, because of how long ago the crimes occurred. The statute of limitations is something we keep running up against, and so did the adult survivors of abuse in this home.

Some quotes from the article:
"If he had been indicted for just one thing, it would have been justice for so many people," said Simone Jones, a 47-year-old police dispatcher in Kansas who told police that Ford raped her in 1982 or 1983. "Why does this man continue to walk free?"
The grand jury decided that the crimes they described were not prosecutable under current law. "The reason given in the short-term was not that the grand jury didn't believe us. It was because of the statutes,"
"They let us down again," Halter said. "I can't understand why it's OK for these people to do what they do and walk away like nothing was done wrong. It's like laughing in our face all over again. What is justice? When is enough enough?"
