Gutnick said that people reporting abuse were ostracized <i>moser</i>s ("informers"). He said "a culture of cover-up, often couched in religious terms, pervaded our thinking and our actions." He said that rabbis in these situations had misused their power, and that anyone who insists a child sexual abuse victim should go first to a rabbi rather than the police is not doing so out of religious reasons but trying to "hush it up, to cover it up, to prevent the victim from finding redress. There is no doubt at all: <i><a href="/wiki/Mesirah" title="Mesirah">Mesirah</a></i> ['informing'] has no application whatsoever to instances of child sexual abuse. To use <i>mesirah</i> in this way is an abomination." Gutnick also lamented that there was no formal training for rabbis on how to handle reported abuse. </p><p>Manny Waks said, "Today, Rabbi Moshe Gutnick restored my faith in ultra-Orthodox Judaism.
