Youth leader Cory Campbell charged

I never get to report on an LDS abuse case. I wonder why that is?LDS youth leader Cory Campell was charged with abusing a fourth girl.

Cory C. Campbell, 37, faces sexual abuse charges for inappropriately touching and fondling three 14-and-15-year-old girls at his home.

After information about the alleged abuse was released to the media Feb. 10, a fourth girl's parents came forward, said Weber County Sheriff's Capt. Klint Anderson. Campbell allegedly abused her during a sleepover, also at his home. It happened prior to fall 2009, Anderson said. The fourth victim is about the same age as the other victims.

The civil case associated with this arrest will be interesting. Do the victims know that their parents are culpable? Mormons are no different from any other religion. Being a Mormon does not make you moral. If you send you daughters to a unsupervised sleepover with a youth worker, well that makes you responsible too. You should know better.

Part of the problem in the LDS church is that everyone is "called by GOD HIMSELF" to the positions they are in. So everyone else thinks they're there because of inspiration and they can therefore be trusted. Bah! And of course, there are no background checks on these people because why do there need to be background checks if God says he wants this person to work with kids? It's a mess. {I am a former Mormon.}

I would also say it is a very closed system and any closed system is able to hide much of its activities. Look at how the different LDS groups that have kept their secrets until someone can escape from these groups.

Why would any mother send her daughter to spend the night with an adult male, under any circumstances?
