Oh, Australia, you stand strong and true
To protect children of all ages from view
Against online abuse
You shall not excuse
And make sure that malicious content ensues.

"Another Christian influencer arrested for child abuse: Why conservatives keep falling for these cons"

"The viciousness, which often verges on flat-out sadism, goes a long way toward explaining the apparently bottomless yearning for Duggar-style propaganda. It's all about reassuring conservative Christians that all this religious oppression and cruelty is justified."

As many of us who grew up in evangelical families can attest, whippings and outright beatings have long been doled out in devout evangelical Christian households as a way of raising children "right" — and the beatings extended to (and continue in) public schools in parts of the country dominated by white evangelical culture.

The link between a certain kind of repressive, obedience-centered, right-wing religion and child abuse is not something just now being discovered. It has been written about extensively for some time now. The brilliant Polish-Swiss psychologist Alice Miller wrote groundbreaking books about this link. Philip Greven's Spare the Child studies this link in an American historical context.

Amanda Marcotte notes that the arrest of Mormon child-rearing guru Ruby Franke for child abuse is part of a wearily predictable story, in which lauded right-wing Christian parents turn out to practice cruelty towards their children.

Why do Americans keep falling foir this, she asks?

"People...desperately want to believe in this fairy tale of the shiny, happy perfect white Christian families."

We cannot discuss child abuse in the U.S., much of it totally legal and societally approved, without examining how it frequently develops in a religious matrix.

Mallory Challis goes where mainstream media have refused to go in analyzing the story of the child abuse of which Ruby Franke is accused as rooted in her LDS faith. As she notes, both Franke and her friend Jodi Hillebrandt, arrested with her, are "openly part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints," and Franke's videos about disciplining children often employ religious language about "repentance."

Having grown up in Washington County, Utah, this is unsurprising, and I wish I could say it is the first story I know of with a child escaping being chained up there.

We should probably add the final nail in the coffin that got us booted was we were against massSurviellance applications being embedded on our phones, during . We also were highlighting how was being advertised by during for face-to-face . After that they made sure we could not use Fakebook.

A Utah YouTuber named Ruby
Was accused of abuse too cruddy
Her sisters spoke out
On social media's clout
Her arrest left shock and dismay quite stubby

Why am I not in the slightest bit surprised by this? Churches have a long and extensive history of child abuse and pedophiles.
