New Life Bible Church sues sexual abuse victim’s parents for leaving girl in the church’s pastor’s care

Michael J. Landy was a youth pastor with New Life Bible Church when he sexually abused a young girl left in his care by church missionaries.

Landy pleaded guilty, and the victim sued Landy and the church. Now, the Star reports that the church is suing the victim’s parents, arguing the parents were negligent for leaving their children with Landy and “breached their duty to provide for the proper care, custody and control of their daughter.” Yeah, the parents totally should have known that there was a chance that the youth pastor would sexually abuse their daughter.
