Bad time for everyone

It is a bad, difficult time for everyone who has any dealings with clergy sexual abuse. It is with heavy heart that we see that situation with William Casey.  How tragic for everyone involved!  How utterly devastating to see the effects of clergy sexual abuse on the entire community. It is never more painful than in the eyes of Warren Tucker whose courageous stand for justice has been seen by so many.  This is a time to pray . . . and when you do, keep the victims of religious authority abuse very high on your list of those you pray for.  And throw in a prayer too for all children, teens and vulnerable adults.

It's unfortunate that clergy persons are pedophiles and get away with it because some people think they're good persons because of a title. There's a methodist preacher that has molested at least three little girls named Rev. Kenneth Mitchem and the A.M.E. Church keeps sending him to another church when people find out. The first child was an eight year old in Philadelphia, PA in 2007, the other two were nine and ten in New Jersey. He's both a womanizer and a child molester. I'm devastated because one of those children is my goddaughter and she wants to kill herself because of him. Some things must change. Clergy persons should not get away with felonies just because some body thinks they are nice. People thought Judas was nice too but Jesus knew better.

Delishia Boykin and her cousin is responsible for these lies. If this is true, who are the children? Was Mitchem ever charged, convicted, or placed on any sex registry for this alleged behavior? Check out the facts!!! Now the same person is a pastor in the UMC and doing the same thing. Investigate her and you will discover a history of deception, deceit, and dangerous behavior from a self proclaimed victim.

Ms Boykin should really be ashamed of herself for writing this post. Just because you go through a breakup doesnt mean you try to ruin a Pastor's reputaton. Especially when if all her dirt came out, she'd be hiding under a rock hoping to change her name. This is childish and anyone that knows that man knows better than to believe the nonsense. Never happened and should be criminally charged on her for even attacking someone's character with false news.. Grow up Delishia. You're way to old..

People try to ruin others reputations by spewing lies and craziness in the public This should be removed immediately because it’s totally false and this is a platform for truths. This was done as revenge in a divorce and is criminal to attack someone’s character as such. Ms Boykin is supposed to be a pastor herself and should be so ashamed to stoop to such a level as this and other things she has done. Just move on and no need to keep going. Don’t you have another family and child? So delete this band carry on with your new business already

I Personally know these parties and know this not to be true. This post was made during an ongoing non mutual divorce and only remains because the password to remove it can’t be found. The site itself was contacted and not able to assist without it. Some of these platforms allow people to post under false names and anonymously allowing false accusations and charges against character. Dr Kenneth Mitchem is an honorable man with impeccable character and has done no illicit act against any child nor adult As a professional myself I gladly vouch for him. It’s sad that these public platforms allow this junk without proof prior to posting. Thank God that Dr Mitchem is a man of God and doesn’t entertain such behavior or nonsense. For the people that choose to enable this behavior, I’ll keep you in prayer.

I just wanted to say that I am one of these kids. I was close enough to know his whole family and his daughters and step daughter also knew at the time. You do not have to believe it but child victims of sexual abuse suffer a lot with shame and almost always would prefer to remain anonymous. I prayed everyday that the Father would release me from
everything that came with this sexual abuse as a child. Now that I am more free I also pray that he is living a better life now.


Thank you for reading and praying even for me.

Kenneth is married again. Leave it alone. The church dealt with it If it’s true karma will come. The church will suffer financially so they’ll never admit. The bishop knows truths

It's blackmail, pure and simple It shouldn't have taken so much time to figure this out.   I have often wondered why good priests st...
