There was a climate of fear at the pentecostal school where children as young as six were sexually abused by a teacher who was later jailed, a national inquiry has heard.
Margaret Furlong, who still teaches at Melbourne’s Northside Christian college, told the child sexual abuse royal commission on Monday she had reported her concerns that another teacher, Kenneth Sandilands, was behaving inappropriately with children.
She then trusted “godly men” to do the right thing.
Furlong, who worked at the primary school from 1987 until 1998, said three children had complained Sandilands was touching them.
One girl, Emma Joy Fretton, wanted to be transferred from his class “because he did bad things” but wasn’t allowed to.
Fretton, now 34, on Friday told the commission Sandilands abused her for three years from 1987, touching her, beating her with a wooden paddle and making her sign obscene stories which he dictated to her.
Furlong said she reported her concerns to the then-principal Neil Rookes, but told the inquiry there was no follow up.
“No one ever spoke to me or I was never asked to write anything down,” she said.
Furlong revealed she had been abused as a child and her abuser was given a suspended sentence and allowed to live two doors down from her home. As a result, she had no faith in the legal system.
“As a result I put my trust in people that I thought would do the right thing - people I classed as godly men to do the right thing,” she told the hearing.
Furlong said neither the victims nor other teachers were supported and there was a “climate of fear” at the school, which was part of the ministry of the pentecostal church where Denis Smith was the senior pastor.
It never happens. Nobody notices. Right? |
Walks in Islam, this is from their website.....
CHURCH BELIEFS
We believe…
"In the one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy."
I mean you can find information on Bad Apostolic Pentecostals, so what is your disconnect? Do you know that not everything that is a "tongue talker" is an Apostolic or a UPCer? Are you drinking the water from your wudu? Or are you just absolutely clueless on the original point I was trying to make with shazeep? He and I was posting concerning heinous Church history, which Apostolic Pentecost has never launched a Crusade against anyone with knights and swords, Ruling bishops over countries, torturers, racks, and hatchets. Then you come in and offer not UPCI bad behavior, not Apostolic Pentecostal bad behavior, but one case with a Assembly of God situation with a Russian child, and when I post about
" So, WIA, you going to bring up African Charismatics next who practice witchcraft?" You reply
"I'll stick with tongue-talkers right in the good old US of A." Then you post on some run of the mill Trinitarian Pentecostal group in Australia? Walks, you then post to me that
"If you are tongue-talking apostolics and they are tongue-talking apostolics then you are the same to me and you are the same to the rest of the planet." But the article wasn't about tongue talking Apostolics, but your point is that all tongue talkers are the same? So, that would apply to you as Muslim. You can't defend Islam, because your stabbing and slabbing comrades outweigh anything you can Google concerning the United Pentecostal Church International or the Apostolic Movement of One God Jesus name folks. Which you failed to do. So, you feel the logic of sameness with all Pentecostals are the same as all Christianity, High Church the same as Low Church, so on and so on. Then you missed what I was posting to shazeep. In saying that, then you are in the quandary, Apostolic movement has never taken over countries, through conquest of sword and beheading those refuse conversion. Mocking of the Apostolic movement, or drawing disparaging cartoons of their prophets, teachers, apostles or Jesus Himself never caused them to hack off hands or heads.
Your religion isn't one of non-retaliation, or peace seeking. While Allah is merciful and all benevolent, you will find that many of his adherents aren't merciful and benevolent, but violent.
Do the math, calculate the history of the Islamic invading hordes across the world during the time of Islamic conquest, and go through history of their bad behavior to our present, and put it up against what you Google on Pentecostals...African Witches, Robert Tilton and all.
Really think about that while having jumu'ah
