Uncovering the Hollow Apology: Addressing Sexual Abuse in Protestant Reformed Schools

>>>WATCH THE VIDEO HERE: https://youtu.be/_Zd3nWQppSY

In this episode, Hope PRC school board convenes to acknowledge past sexual abuse and apologize to Heidi Woldhuis who was a victim of abuse at this school by a female teacher named Hulda Kuiper. The discussion covers the school's new abuse policy, handling of past incidents, apologies from the church, and the need for real action to protect children from future harm. Despite the apologies, Heidi expresses deep frustration with the system's failures and the lasting impact on victims. The meeting concludes with calls for genuine change and accountability moving forward. To be clear: Michigan is a one-party consent state for recording verbal conversations. As long as the person recording (“recorder”) is also a participant to the conversation, the recorder may record the conversation with “apparent impunity." www.thenorthcoastlegal.com/blog/can-you-record-arguments-in-michigan/
