None of the nearly $1 million set aside to tackle sex abuse in New York’s ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities has been spent, even as another program set up to help scrambles for cash.
The state has earmarked $950,000 since April 2009 to fund Assemblyman Dov Hikind’s plans to teach Hasidic Jews to speak up against child molestation.
But the money sits untouched as Hikind figures out the details of Shomrei Yeldainu – Hebrew for “Guardians of our Children” – the Daily News has learned.
“You have to develop something that is done correctly working with the rabbis and leaders,” said Hikind (D-Brooklyn).
The $950,000 was included in the 2009 state budget for the Office of Family and Children’s Services, said Matt Anderson, a budget spokesman for Gov. Paterson.
It’s the first time the state has funded a sex abuse program geared toward helping a specific ethnic group.
“Apparently, the Hasidim will only go to the Hasidim for help,” said Edward Borges, an FCS spokesman.
I’ve written and spoken before on the terrible situation in the NY Orthodox Jewish community that allows child rapists to go unchecked and unpunished. It has been said that if you want to be a pedophile, this is THE place to prey.
The reason the problem exists is to a large extent, summarized in the last sentence: they only go to their own for help. Naturally, when you have this kind of a cult mentality, “their own” are often supporters of the rapists, not the victims (as disgusting as that sounds).
If the money for helping victims is going untouched, then the undeniable conclusion is that it is not serving the purpose for which it is intended.
What is the Jewish community doing to spread the word that here is help from OUTSIDE the group? I suspect the answer is NOTHING. This is a cult, and just like every other cult they abhor outsiders because outsiders make sence and provide justice, as opposed to the utter subservience dished out by the cult.
The problem is compounded by a fear of the government appearing antisemitic if they press into the problem. This must not be used as an excuse. Children are being hurt, and it is the government’s job to step in and protect the children. Use the money to fund publicity to the Jewish children, and provide a few undercover cops to root out the swine.
Oh, and by the way, if you’re a child rapist, you’re not all that worried about the invisible man-in-the-sky, so no kosher meals in prison unless you pay for it yourself, m’kay?

Why not cut off their tax exemptions and tax deductions made to them plus a ban on faith based funds from UNCLE SAM.
Better yet a 90% income tax on all jews since you guys are rich.
You gotta be kiddin’ me. All jews are rich? Do you think they all have bags of gold hanging around their necks too?
South Park is for amusement purposes only.
Jews are shape shifting reptiles from outer space.This was on the internet so it must true.

On a serious note you should checkout historian michael a hoffman.He provides the details on talmudic judaism,zionism and how they are disgusting filth.The recent insult to our vice president by israel should open your eyes.Jews against zionism is another good site for learning the bloodythirsty history of zionism.
A glance @ his wiki page – no, he’s NOT a historian @ all. He’s a holocaust denier/revisionist. & a conspiracy wacko.
I’d have to dig out my ‘how to speak crazy’ dictionary.
He should watch WWII in HD on the History Channel. Anybody that sees this footage and still denies the holocaust is as culpable as those who denied it back then.
No, because you see, that’s all zionist propaganda.
I wish I was kidding, but I’d bet the rent that’s the pat answer.
KA don’t fear the truth seek it embrace it.The truth will set you free.How is it wacko or denial when you use the writings,words of the people themselves.Are we to dismiss every public record that comes to light as well if it doesn’t conform to our cherished view.I think you are a decent & smart person who has a deep emotional investment in your view of judaism,zionism.I’m sure it is painful to realize you have believed lies.Look at your jewish zionists for example they killed stalin after he saved them from hitler some gratitude huh!Look at the people involved in wall street scandals and economic team around obama almost all jewish.Yet we must not point that out least we be called anti semite,wacko etc.
I’m already free, but thanks.
WTF are you talking about? You just name-drop & accept every wacko on the internet.
Let’s clarify for the LAST TIME: judaism & zionism ARE NOT SYNONYMS. Zionism is a secular movement. It’s concerned about how jews as a race & ethnicity are treated in this world. Judaism is a repugnant barbaric religion that needs to be scrapped like all the others. There, we clear?
You must be joking. Zionists put rat poison in his food? Where did you hear that junk, on Faux Noise? Rense.com? Or @ the local Conspirator’s Cafe?
Likewise, we can look @ all the scandals in GWB’s administration. Hey, they were all upper-class republican white guys! Hmmm…we should probably discriminate against them too, no?
Okay, so let’s indemnify millions of people based on the actions of a few. What’s that called again?
Seriously, sucking down tall boys does nothing for your logic, such as it is.
KA
You can call zionism secular all you want but how can you separate judaism,zionism when most members of zionist groups also belong to jewish religious groups and the purpose of zionism is to create a state for jews.I am glad you see judaism as barbaric hopefully oneday you will see zionism in the same light both need to be suppressed.There can only be one option for jews outside israel as loyal law abiding atheist citizens of their nation of residence.Anything else is unacceptable if you want to be a zionist or a religious jew then the person should move to israel.
Okay, I’m going to make this simple: you don’t need to be religious to be zionist. I am, & not religious @ all.
I don’t know why so many people here can’t make that distinction (or the lack thereof). It’s not an exclusive club.
Yes, because of course, HOW DARE THEY have any expectations of having a safe haven anywhere?
How small-minded of you.
You really just cherry-pick what you want to say, dontcha?
I’ll clarify 1 other thing; my stance on this topic is dictated by logic, nothing else. I only get pissed when I’m either accused of doing something I’m not (like ‘emotional investment’), or people stubbornly refusing to bow to logic.
David Silverman posts about a topic which is critical of jews? Hang on…let me check…nope…dont see any…there arent any pigs flying outside. Did hell freeze over? it must have.
Im glad to finally see some balance in here.
I’ve already gotten two “you’re an antisemite” emails.
Next will likely be the ‘self-loathing’ accusation.
What was your first clue, that he interjects some way to rip on jews almost every blog post? =P
I was actually referring to David’s antisemite emails.
Ummmm…I need some clarity here, so if you wouldn’t mind helping me out. How can you work “with” the organization that’s producing the pedophiles? If this were a drug cartel wouldn’t we get some undercover agents in there? We wouldn’t openly ask for Pablo Escobar’s permission would we?
No matter what organization if there are laws being broken, and it seems as if there is a atmosphere of “hush hush” about it you infiltrate, not coordinate…right?
Maybe there is something I’m missing as I’m not to familiar with the background of the story. If there is anyone who can give clarity or shed some light I would appreciate it. Thanks.
@KA
Responding to Dave XD
@conformnolonger
Behold the biggest problem with religious institutions. They can be as bad or worse than drug cartels, be perfectly legal, and mooch tax dollars from the government no matter how many laws they break. Really makes you wish we had some atheists in power not afraid to wear their godlessness on their sleeves.
Two anti semitic letters? Welcome to my world where legitimate criticism of jews, and only jews, gets you labeled as a Nazi hell bent on bringing about another holocaust. Perhaps now you will understand a little better the frustration I feel when people try to limit my freedom of speech by throwing out accusations of anti semitism. Im as musch an anti semite as I am an anti christianite, muslimite, mormonite, hinduite, $cientologite, buddhite, zeusite, ad infinitum.
Don’t forget anti-immigrant, anti-hispanic, anti-black, 9/11 conspiracy wacko, holocaust revisionist & a support of the ‘Indonesia Jones’ bullshit.
So pardon me if I can’t really take you seriously, as your street cred is exactly zero.
I make no apologies for my attitudes about immigration, blacks, Latinos, or the holocaust but I have no idea what Indonesia Jones is.
You ought to – they’re all stupid attitudes & prejudicial.
That’s the rubbish claim that Indonesians built the Zimbabwe empire. You whipped that out on me a while back.
Pretty damn funny it was, too.
No, what I did was cite archaelogical evidence that Arabs, not Asians, built Great Zimbabwe.
I care about truth and again I do not apologize for my stance on issues. My ideas have been formed over a lifetime of experiences and careful research into the nature of the reality of the world. Enjoy your comforting myths about the way you want the world to be rather than how it actually is.
??? No you didn’t – you suggested that someone else built it. Typical racist nonsense that of course, black people can’t do that sort of thing.
No, you care about your comforting lies.
Right…but I trashed your ‘logic’ the last few times. Oh wait, that’s right, I’m lying to myself.
Trust me old son, I’ve been around the block more times than you have. People are people, & skin color has absolutely nothing to do w/people’s natures. I know this because I’ve had more problems w/other white folk than I have w/other races, mostly because I tend to treat everyone equally.
I’m not really sure I understand the way they manage to instill fear of the outsiders in NYC. In rural places like Utah, its easy to promote crazy to kids because most of the people believe it. But how in a metropolis? You would almost have to interact with other people in the city, right?
Orthodox jews are the most insular community in America and in spite of living in the worlds largest metropolis the jewish neighborhoods of NYC, especially in Brooklyn, have almost no interaction with those outside of the ethnicity and faith. Why do you think so many NYC jews suffer from Tay Sachs disease? its due to extreme inbreeding.
Ya of course they interact with other people in the city. They own shops, do business with non-Hassids. But they keep a mindset of “us vs them” and look at everyone who is not Hassidic with disdain. So even though they are interacting, there is very much a huge wall between them.
Dave and KA,
If the truth weren’t hidden under the cloak of the threat of death, it would be revealed that the priesthood of every religion has been the haven of pedophiles. An undeserved position of respect and trust given to misfits who want to put baby carrots in their mouths.
But, Dave, as you know, I am an advocate of Israel’s right to exist, by international law. And you know I know the history of Israel, how it began, and what it has had to do to survive. Add to that, I have read books by Netanyahu including “How the West Can Win”, and I thought he was a standup guy, with a “take no shit from anyone” attitude. I admired him, but this shit with new settlements in land not awarded to them by UN decree, is just going to stir up new shit in the Middle East. It’s like he’s daring the Arabs to provoke a strike on Iran.
Israel holds the Golan Heights, which is not theirs by UN decree, but with many lives they took the defensible high ground and refuse to relinquish it so as not to die again to gain it again. Very understandable.
But, these settlement plans are a deliberate provocation into illegal territory, only supported by orthodox jews that consider all of palestine their “god given rightful property”. This cannot end well. The pendulum should be swinging the other direction if we hope for peace.
NeoWolfe
The holocaust is disgusting not because it didn’t happen it did but because the zionists worked hand in glove with the nazis to murder those jews who wouldn’t be useful in palestine.How many on this site know that zionist father of george soros for example sat on jewish council that selected which jews got sent to camps and death.
There is no such thing as a jewish race and there never has been.Just another deluded group of people thats all.
Can you prove that? Just cite the facts, not some crazy asshole on the web.
You obviously don’t know the definition of race.
Jewish arrognace and greed threatens the entire worlds stability.
