Christina Anderson, 15, Was Molested By Stepdad & Tormented By Baptist Church

Reader NH-x responds to Christina Anderson, 15, Raped By Parishioner, Forced to Apologize By Church for Getting Pregnant. She says Christina endured much more trauma than this, including molestation by stepdad and neglect by her psycho Baptist church...

"What this poor girl went through in her life - she is truly an amazing person.  She was at this Concord NH church/school 6-7 days a week.  Her stepfather belonged to the church that condoned discipline, male power and wife/child submissiveness. 

"He severely beat her & her siblings - he went to prison for a year.  When he came home he started sexually molesting her.  He later went to prison  for sexual molestation of another minor. 

"He's now out of prison & until this story broke due to the trial, he was again part of the church & choir -  children around him (guess that's okay if it's a church/school).  The newer church pastor first stated they would kick out someone like him but then stated the children are supervised and parents can look on the state sexual offender website if they question who is lurking around their church with their children!

"When this girl went to her pastor about the abuse, he told her to forgive & forget and made her go to the prison to apologize to her step father.  She opened up about the abuse to the family she was babysitting for since she felt safe with them. 

"The "man" of the house offered to give her driving lessons only to rape her.  A month later he appeared at her home when she was alone & raped her again, admitting he got her pregnant but stating it was consensual - after, she was 15 years old.

"She was four months along when she found out she was pregnant & told her rapist who offered to punch her in the stomach to induce a miscarriage or pay for an abortion (how Christian-like).   Next she tells her "mother" who tells the pastor who in turn blamed the victim for not screaming and allowing it to happen; then the pastors wife asked her if she enjoyed it.

"After being forced to admit her sins to the whole congregation, she was hidden in the pastors home for a few days until they shipped her off to CO to complete her pregnancy.   Her new pastor forced her to write a letter of apology to her rapist's wife for betraying her trust and "for allowing a compromising situation to occur" because she, the 15 year old victim, let him in the house.  

"She had her baby girl, and after 2 days was forced to give it up to one of the IFB church members, then sent home to NH for her continued banishment and punishment by the IFB church which she now calls a cult.

"In this 20/20 piece, there are recordings (some put on youtube by the pastor's themselves) of these pastors ranting about If you're not bruising the child, you're not spanking enough; Breaking the will of the child; spanking up to 100 times because the bible says so; even spanking a 2 week (yes, week) old child for crying too much because it's the child's will to cry and the will must be broken.  Wow."
