In one of the Bnei Brak high school for girls the principal came into one of the classes to give them a speech about the sin of taking someone elses' life, on Loshon Hara and on embarrassing someone in public.
During this mussar speech a distraught girl got up and yelled while sobbing:
"embarrassing someone?" "Loshon Hara?" "how do you have the chutzpa to lecture us on this? I am a victim of sexual abuse ... me... how do you speak like this here?"
She then got up and left!
The class sat there dumbfounded but learned a lesson they will never ever forget!
This was but one school, one class and one girl who got up and spoke...
This black morning, in many classes, the girls got a musser speech like this, and you can be sure that at least one girl of each class was sexually abused yet kept quiet feeling guilty and blaming themselves even more!
You remember when Malka Leffler's victims were similarly ignored or abused in order to "protect our own"?
