Ethnos360/New Tribes Mission. Who they're willing to sacrifice, and what they'll do to cover it up.

After a bit of time without a post, here's a compilation of some of the stories Ethnos360/New Tribes Mission missionary kids have been telling over the last couple of months about the harm, abuse, and cover-ups they experienced.

When Pii was fired before they could release a 1,000-page report re abuse at ONE Ethnos360/New Tribes Mission school, they said, "Are these actions being taken because the hiring entity did not accept the findings of the original completed investigation?"

Another shield Ethnos360/New Tribes Mission has used to avoid taking responsibility is the recommendations panel. If they can blame an anonymous group, maybe people won't hold them accountable, even if they are determining the outcomes behind the scenes.

If the abuse and coverups aren't enough, what about lack of transparency and financial efficiency? There are a multitude of reasons not to trust Ethnos360/New Tribes Mission.

This. Ethnos360 continues to claim they've responded appropriately every time (except maybe "way back then"), but MKs and other children are still being abused. It may be an effort to protect themselves, but it's certainly not protecting children.

When a child is sexually abused at a church event and the institution’s response is “we’d do nothing different” — that’s arrogance. An arrogance that protects institutions, not children.

[Collateral.damage360 @collateral_360]

Ethnos360/New Tribes Mission's emails reveal a lot about their ability to accurately assess their abuse response.

No organization is perfect, and the one claiming to be is probably the least safe place for children.

When Ethnos360/New Tribes Mission leadership is unable to answer for their actions, they expect blind trust. 🚩

An organization that continues to move abusers around and is dishonest about their abuse response does not deserve your trust.

[Collateral.damage360 @collateral_360]

It's not "historical" when failure to protect/respond to abuse and abuse coverups have occurred under 5 of the 6 current leaders of Ethnos360. Leadership that enables/is culpable continues to hold all the power with no accountability or consequences.

When Ethnos360 leadership finds abuse cases so complex that they struggle to decipher how much fault belongs to the adult abuser vs. the child survivor 🚩

@MKEBizJournal There's a lot more to this organization than missionary training. Decades of child abuse and coverups continue to this day, and young people get caught up in the system before they can possibly understand the consequences.

[Collateral.damage360 @collateral_360]

When you pay attention to the examples they use, you find their idea of handling abuse well includes moving an abuser from one Ethnos360 facility to another resulting in the abuse of a toddler.

People with good intentions cause or allow harm to others every day. Their good intentions do not warrant automatic trust. When an organization and their members encourage blind trust, 🚩

[ETHNOS360 Cover-Ups @Ethnos360Info]

@collateral_360 Not only that, when brave 50+ yr foreign missionaries confronted @Ethnos360 leadership regarding ongoing coverups of Child Sex Abuse within E360, they were told to be quiet.
They refused to remain silent, so threats were made and they were forced out of the Organization.

[Collateral.damage360 @collateral_360]

@Ethnos360Info @Ethnos360 Awful.

[Collateral.damage360 @collateral_360]

Ethnos360/New Tribes Mission believes that you and Merriam-Webster are wrong about what zero tolerance means.

The culture of Ethnos 360/ New Tribes Mission played out in court -- support for the perpetrator.

The legacy of abuse and coverups in Ethnos360 isn't magically going to change, especially not with no consequences for active leaders who cover up abuse.

[Collateral.damage360 @collateral_360]

Their best-case scenario, that they use as an example of how they're responding to abuse, includes communication failures, ignoring red flags, moving an abuser from one Ethnos360 facility to another, all of this resulting in the sexual abuse of a child.

[Collateral.damage360 @collateral_360]

When the responses are the same as they have been for decades, even during the era they admit abuse was rampant, you can assume the environment remains the same, unsafe for children.

[Collateral.damage360 @collateral_360]

An unsafe org discounts people for feeling upset about things that would make any reasonable person upset -- abuse, coverups, moving abusers to a new location, allowing known abusers to have children over for sleepovers, etc. When members defend the org with "they're bitter," 🚩

[Collateral.damage360 @collateral_360]

A great analysis on Ethnos360/New Tribes Mission's abuse response, revealing a lack of desire to know the truth and pursue it and the careless way they approach concerning allegations, allegations that, if true, mean children continue to be in danger.
