The only way they "deal" with it in the congregation is to cover it up. The reason they don't call the police is that they have been told by their leaders not to. If the police were brought in then it would be in the news and make the society look bad, and above all else keeping the society from looking "bad" is the goal.

They are just a guilty of hiding the truth about child abuse as any other group who doe so.
