Beginning our series on Mormon leaders and inappropriate interviews regarding sexuality, we provide 6 mini-interviews with Mormon Stories listeners who share their experiences discussing sexual matters with LDS leaders. A new petition created by past guest Sam Young seeks to provoke conversation and change around this subject. From the petition: “For decades, it has been common practice for Bishops, Bishopric Counselors, Stake Presidents, and Stake President Counselors to pose questions of a sexual nature to children. There are reports of this happening to children as young as age 8. These questions are being asked by an older man, all alone with the child, behind closed doors and often without the knowledge or permission of the parents. Almost universally, these men have no comprehensive training. Here is a list of potential harm. All the risks below are actual consequences that have been experienced from sexual interviews with LDS children. 1. Suicide. Sam Young‘s petition can be found here if you want to sign: http://protectldschildren.org _______________________________________ Part 1: Interview with Paul and Ann Part 2: Interview with Anna, Tyler, and Lara Part 3: Maile, Ryan, and Ryan
