Hammond congregation accepts investigation with prayer, hurt
In an article by Lindsay Machak in the Time of Northwest Indiana she states that attorney David Gibbs spoke to the congregation at First Baptist Hammond Wed. night in the wake of perverted pastor Jack Schaap 's firing for alleged sexual abuse of a young girl. http://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/lake/hammond/hammond-congregation-accepts-investigation-with-prayer-hurt/article_4c88013d-ff1c-5e59-81cb-92836f7cfd8b.html
"Heartfelt "amens" were spoken throughout the crowd as Gibbs vowed to fully investigate the scandal that left many shaking their heads.
He asked anyone who may have any additional information to bring it forward to the church immediately."
Why in the world is this so-called lawyer advising these people to break the law by reporting the crimes TO HIM instead of the police?????
NO, do not give this man or the church ANY information. Go straight to the police. Call the FBI. DO NOT under any circumstance speak to David Gibbs or anyone in the church or on church staff if you are a victim of this pervert.
The church is already in hot water because certain deacons knew about the crime since Wed. of last week but NEVER reported it to police until MONDAY, leaving the victim in danger for five days while they sat on the knowledge that a crime was taking place. Also, Schaap's secretary alleged knew and there are reports that she took the girl across state lines for encounters with Jack Schaap.
First Baptist Hammond and David Gibbs DO NOT represent victims of sexual abuse. They are legally bound to report crimes to the police, but obviously in the case of the church they waited quite a long time to do anything about it.
Call the police. Call the FBI. Do not talk to David Gibbs or anyone on staff at First Baptist Hammond.

I can't believe that those idiots actually tried to solicit information in an ongoing criminal investigation, in public. And now America and the world knows what they are trying to do and cover up.

ReplyDeleteYeah, cover up. When the news comes out that staff and deacons knew about this for quite a while David Gibbs is gonna have a whole lot of egg on his face.
