Abuse and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints


Abuse and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

The position of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on abuse is that "abuse cannot be tolerated in any form. Those who abuse their spouses, children, other family members, or anyone else violate the laws of God and man. . . . When abuse occurs, the first and immediate responsibility of Church leaders is to help those who have been abused and to protect vulnerable persons from future abuse."[1]
