My wanderings took me back to the NTM website today.
https://usa.ntm.org/about/historical-reviewsThere I read this paragraph again:
"Our original goals for this process have not changed. These are: to be certain that there is no current member of New Tribes Mission USA who has abused children; to give victims an avenue to tell their story; to offer a means for counseling for any victims who desire that; and to learn from the past to make our organization as safe as possible for all children."First goal listed: To be certain that there is no current member of New Tribes Mission USA who has abused children.
In December, 2013, I wrote an e-mail to Larry Brown, Chairman of NTM-USA. I listed five people who have been specifically named here on Fanda Eagles as having abused children sexually, physically and emotionally. All five of those were still listed as members on the NTM website. That was in 2013.
It is now late 2015. All five of these child abusers are still listed on the NTM website as members of NTM-USA. Four have retired status, another is apparently still in active service.
"Our original goals for this process have not changed. These are: to be certain that there is no current member of New Tribes Mission USA who has abused children..."I'm calling you out, New Tribes Mission. You are failing dismally in your first stated goal under Child Protection, Historical Reviews!
These
FIVE members of your mission have been known to you as child abusers for more than two years, and you have allowed them to remain in your midst!
Without a doubt, there are other current members who have been named as child abusers by MKs who participated in your farcical "investigations". At least some of these names will have been made known to you, the Executive Board, when you read the abuse reports on East Brazil and Panama. And if you haven't seen names from Bolivia yet, you know in your gut you are going to see familiar names and know people who abused children at the NTM MK school in Tambo.
To the many silent readers of Fanda Eagles: I believe it is important to point out, with absolute clarity, that New Tribes Mission - USA is not serious about the goals they claim to embrace. They have done nothing to remove these five known child abusers from their membership roll. I can also predict they will have the same shoulder-shrug response to the naming of scores of others who would fit the definitions of child abuse as defined in their own Child Protection Manual.
This is absolutely disgraceful and appalling.
