Austin Stone Children's Ministry.
My kid was maltreated.
I was not notified till 3+ hours later.
We met to discuss the situation.
They said they were sorry and that they had made a mistake.
I asked The Stone to notify parents of protocols in their newsletter, address the congregation, or pull children from their classes to join full group and address them.
They said no.
I received an email which states they have begun the discussion internally about communicating with their volunteer teams, and parents to remind them of their high value of safety, and the importance of quick and candid feedback with the respective parents and church leaders involved in situations that warrant such a response.
I am informing you so this hopefully never happens to a child or families again. My kid took this on herself because they lacked the decency to inform me.
If you'd like more information, ask Austin Stone why they're not talking to all of you...you have a right to know. read more
