If your religious parents are not reporting child rape in the community, you need to call the police and get out of your house

Highly religious communities are simply known to be hotbeds of organized child rape and pedophilia.  As a former Jehovah's Witness, I was raised in a cult that is widely recognized as having a problem with pseudo-institutionalized pedophilia. Jehovah's Witnesses claim that child rape is to be reported to authorities, but in practice this rarely ever happens.  Internally and off the record, Jehovah's Witnesses are almost commanded to deal with cases of child rape internally within the organization. When child rapes are dealt with internally, sometimes two witnesses are required for an inquiry to be launched. The idea that there would be two innocent witnesses to a child rape is almost impossible and so most internal investigations go nowhere. However, the children who brought forward the allegation are often harassed for tarnishing an adult's reputation without evidence and if they persist in their accusation they are further ostracized and shunned. 

I personally was never raped, but I know children who were, and the perpetrator got away with it.  A man over 18 years old sexually abused his brothers who were about five and six.  The young boys described what was going on to some other boys who told their mothers.  The mothers then reported this to the Elders.  Nothing happened, even though he admitted it, no one called the police, he was not disciplined, no warning was given out to others, and we were told never to speak of it again.  My mother knew that there was an unpunished pedophile in her congregation and did nothing!  I was made to feel that anyone could rape me and get away with it and everyone would sit there and do nothing and make a vow of silence.  No child should be put in that kind of environment and any mother or father who would do something like this is a monster.  Unfortunately, and I don't need to tell you, this is the norm in religious monotheist communities. 

If there is unreported pedophilia going on in your religious community, and your parents are not reporting it to authorities, you first need to go to your school officials and if they won't report it then you need to go to the cops directly.  There is no way that this is acceptable and there is no way you are safe with parents like that who allow child molesters to walk amongst their children like that. Turning a blind eye to pedophilia crosses the line and you need to get out of your house immediately.  However, I have to tell you this, don't be surprised if the school and police don't care, many of them are monotheists, but a few of them will be good, so you really need to search and find them.
