SBC IMB's Platt initiates sexual abuse investigations

“Two ‘thorough, outside, independent’ investigations have been initiated by International Mission Board President David Platt into the IMB’s handling of any past sexual abuse allegations and into its policies of zero tolerance for such abuse.” - BPNews

Discussion

In order to affirm the wisdom of whoever hired them, these “outside” organizations usually find whatever it is they are looking for. Some have been unfairly slimed.

Why is it that our first concern and comment is about people who have been unfairly slimed? Where is the concern for the victims or for the reputation of the IMB / SBC?

And I would rather have a dozen outside investigations than try and figure it and handle it “in house”. We have seen where that road leads.
