http://fandaeagles.com/wp-content/uploa ... ituary.jpgIsn't that a nice summary of Frank Parker's life?
Isn't it neat how New Tribes protects its reputation.
That obituary has never been amended in Family News.
Nor will it ever be.
New Tribes has made a calculated decision.
The abuse to my sister happened 25-27 years ago.
No lawsuit has been filed.
No criminal charges have been filed.
New Tribes officially, in terms of communication to its members and supporters, as to the abuse committed by Frank Parker......its official word is the obituary.
In Brazil, in Portuguese, they sent out a letter in October of 2010.....a CYA letter, focused on intimidating my parents, parsing through phrases, and then semi-admitting that the "allegations" did in fact possibly amount to allegations of sexual abuse in today's world. A few weeks later (after my sister's "confidential" interview with investigators), MNTB issued a much more contrite letter (to my sister only...not to their members)............it's obvious they had instant access to her statement, realized their butts were in a sling, apologized for things they claimed happened before they became leaders.............and that's it.
So: my sister is abused; she reveals her abuse; MNTB/NTM intimidate my parents; Frank dies and has nice obituary printed in the Family News; MNTB blasts away at my family; a confidential interview goes viral in triber leaderville; a metrosexual apology is issued to my sister; a triber family visits my sister, talking about the good ol' days with Frank Parker; the IHART investigator says I've treated him with disdain.
