Deuteronomy 19:15
Question
Hi,
Jehovah's Witness organization has applied Deuteronomy 19:15 to child sexual abuse, and their policy for many years has been to NOT call the police, or even look into the matter if only one parent or child reports that they have been abused. I see that some translations do not use the wording "rise up against", rather, they use the wording "convict" on the basis of only one witness.
So, I was curious what has been the historic and modern day Jewish understanding and application of this?
Thanks, from Tucson, Arizona.
