There has been a lot of scandals in the churches about priests and lay people who have sexual assaulted people, mostly children .Not all the scandals involve priest or clergy, what should christian do about these things?
Call the authorities and not cover them up. It is a symptom of the society at large, abuse happens in both Christian and secular groups and congregations. We need to root it out and not allow our leaders or anyone responsible to escape justice.

Sometimes a person needs to speak out about these things.
