I don't get the comparison. Molestation, while it is a huge problem, definitely isn't the only one.
Each one has to be addressed properly.

I agree entirely. Each one has to be addressed properly

Examples of 'properly'

molestation- reported to police, investigated, trial if deemed necessary. Victims are not continuously victimized by community. Community does not support molesters.

WoW- everyone mind their own business. If someone doesnt like the fact that it happens, dont go to he Kotel that 1 hour a month.

Thats some perspective on handling these issues properly.

I think he's trying to say that molestation is at least an equally big, if not much greater, problem facing the jewish community, yet there are no masses of people coming out to protest it, or doing much else to try to stop it.

He is very one-track minded about this. And that's a good thing. It probably frustrates him to no end that with the asifa and now with this, people are protesting en masse but when it comes to something he puts his whole life into-dealing with molestation-there is almost utter silence.

Yes. I don't see thousands coming out in support of molestation victims.

And instead some of the are trying to cover it up by intimidating families or telling their communities it is forbidden to go to the secular authorities.
