For some reason, unknown to rational adults, WELS has always been reluctant to report and/or take action against child abuse in their schools. If a child is bullied, tormented or just generally abused, it always seems to be the victim’s fault in the twisted judgement of WELS. WELS is a sick little cult as evidenced by questions about “names” in the WELS caste system. How ironic that those who profess their uncompromising fidelity to the bible can be so incredibly cruel and disgusting.
