Maybe it depends on each Kingdom Hall... Just as you find extremes in a lot of religions, I believe my family members are quite extreme JW. That's not to say there aren't good people in JW-- There are! I am just speaking from personal experience and how exclusive they are. I do know of an instance of a friend's of sister, who is a JW, who was sexually assaulted by an older member of the JW... The parents were told by the elders of the church not to tell authorities as it would be "handled internally by the elders". Nothing was done. This is at the same Kingdom Hall so as I previously mentioned... I'm sure it's just a more strict/extreme one than the one you've encountered.

It's more despicable than that, the elders are basically supposed to not go anywhere without Branch Office approval. The only time secular authority is involved without? If someone who isn't an elder breaks rank.

2017 pamphlet for handling child abuse in UK and Ireland

Branch Office makes the legal secular calls. Then has the Elders do a weird little investigation. Y'know instead of cops or getting the kid to a safe place. Bad as fricking Bishop's that knew and the paper trail for moving the diddlers around.
