Children Brutalized by IS Will Need Urgent Help, Experts Say
Voice of America, 2016-08-26
"The chilling image of five children staring into the camera with guns in their upraised arms as five grown men dressed in orange jumpsuits kneel in front of them, about to be executed, was posted by Islamic State extremists almost as a badge of honor. ---
IS has increasingly featured children in its constant barrage of propaganda, a deeply disturbing sign of the extremist group’s profound level of psychological warfare.
The exact number of children who have been put through the Islamic State’s child soldier boot camp is unknown. The German magazine Der Spiegel quoted experts as saying about 1,500 boys were serving the militant group in Iraq and Syria. One of the experts VOA talked with suspects there are that many in Iraq alone."

The Protection of Minors Against Excesses of Sects. Parliamentary Assembly - Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights
THE PROTECTION OF MINORS AGAINST EXCESSES OF SECTS
Parliamentary Assembly - Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights
Text adopted by the Assembly on 10 April 2014 (17th Sitting).
"Summary
The Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights is of the opinion that more measures must be taken at national and European level to counter the excesses of sects which affect minors.
Without seeking to define the term “sect”, the committee puts forward a series of measures to identify more effectively the extent of the phenomenon of sects and to combat abuse of minors by sects.
It condemns in particular the “excesses of sects”, namely acts and techniques which seek to place individuals in a state of psychological or physical submission, and stresses that these excesses can lead to violations of the fundamental rights of minors in terms of their right to life, their physical integrity, their family and social links and their education."

The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints leader was handed the maximum sentence possible.

If the world knew what I was doing, they would hang me from the highest tree Warren Jeffs

Catholic priest: 7% allegedly abused children
BBC News, 2018-02-06
"An inquiry examining institutional sex abuse in Australia has heard 7% of the nation's Catholic priests allegedly abused children between 1950 and 2010.
In one religious order, over 40% of church figures were accused of abuse.
Over 4,440 people claim to have been victims between 1980 and 2015, the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse was told.
The commission, Australia's highest form of inquiry, is also investigating abuse at non-religious organisations. ---
Gail Furness, the lead lawyer assisting the commission in Sydney, said more than 1,000 Catholic institutions across Australia were identified in claims of sexual abuse, with a total of 1,880 alleged perpetrators between 1980 and 2015.
The average age of the victims was 10.5 for girls and 11.5 for boys. On average, it took 33 years for each instance of abuse to be reported." ----
Jehovah's Witnesses did not protect children from abuse
The Guardian, 2016-11-27
Organisation relies on old policies, including a two-witness rule, and has weak internal sanctions that leave perpetrators at large, says royal commission.
The organisation relies on outdated policies and practices, including a 2,000-year-old two-witness rule, and its weak internal sanctions leave perpetrators at large, the royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse has said in a report.
The commission found the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ general practice was not to report child sex abuse allegations to police or authorities unless required to do so by law, which demonstrated a serious failure to provide for the safety and protection of children in the organisation and the community.
“We do not consider the Jehovah’s Witness organisation to be an organisation which responds adequately to child sexual abuse,” the commission said in a report released on Monday.
”Farlig okunskap om sekter hos socialtjänsten”
SOCIALPOLITIK 2016-04-03
När mamman till Thomas dotter gick med i en nyandlig rörelse förlorade han all kontakt med sitt barn. Av socialtjänsten fick han ingen hjälp, kunskapen om hur en sekt fungerar saknas. Läs hans egen berättelse.---
"Vi lever i en tid där totalitära grupperingar får mer och mer fäste i samhället. Det finns barn som åker till främmande länder för att utkämpa en heligt krig, det finns grupperingar som anser att vissa människor inte har samma värde. Det finns rörelser som kränker barns mänskliga rättigheter genom att beröva dem deras självbestämmanderätt. ---"
Svårt för barn i sekter att frigöra sig
SOCIALPOLITIK, 2016-03-31
Rigmor Robèrt är läkare och psykoterapeut och har särskilt studerat mekanismerna runt den kristna församlingen i Knutby. Även om hon inte kan säga något specifikt om ”Thomas” berättelse känner hon till liknande fall. ---
Barn är särskilt utsatta, något som Charlotte Essén beskrivit i reportageboken Sektbarn.
– Barn kan få lära sig att världen snart ska gå under, att det har chans att få följa med sin förälder till paradiset men inget är säkert. Gör barnet fel eller ens tänker fel kommer ledare till ”hjälp” med bestraffningar som isolering i skamvrå, stirrande in i barnets ögon, utfrågning.
De vuxna skrämmer barnet för dem som inte tillhör samfundet och drillar barnet in i dubbelliv, berättar Rigmor Robèrt.
– De får höra att: ”Du ska le och utåt kunna förneka och ljuga om oss.” I gruppen ska barnet också le men bekänna allt och lyda, bära skuldkänslor, tåla psykisk misshandel.
I religionsfrihetens namn kan sekter, där barn far illa, uppfattas som ”minoritetsgrupper”. Boken Sektbarn belyser hur svårt det är att juridiskt bevisa manipulation och brott i slutna grupper. Medlemmar kan utan att blinka begå mened i domstol om deras ledare säger att så är Guds vilja.
Rigmor Robèrt menar att religionskompetens är en bristvara inom socialtjänsten, skolan och polisen.
– Personalen har svårt att skilja mellan sunda religioner och sekterism.

"Under en vecka drillas barn i skolåldern - iklädda uniformsliknande kläder och med traditionella frisyrer deltar de i flaggceremonier, fysisk träning och andra aktiviteter på en avlägsen plats i Småland. Expo och Kvällsposten har dokumenterat den tyska organisationen Sturmvogel och dess lägervecka i Sverige.
Den röd-vita fanan pryds av en svart rovfågel. Nedanför fanan står barn uppställda i givakt, alla blonda med traditionella frisyrer, uniformsliknande kläder med det röd-vit-svarta emblemet.
