When they continue to work with kids

Continuing the discussion of why saying names matters, a crucial concern is that those who have harmed children and eventually part ways with Ethnos360/New Tribes Mission have, at times, joined or attempted to join other religious organizations working with children.

For example, in the case of Gary Earl, upon his departure from New Tribes Mission, he was planning to join another nonprofit, an organization that describes its purpose as, "to offer children relief, opportunity, and care in the midst of danger, abuse and neglect." As a result of the advocacy of missionary kids and others, the organization was made aware of the situation, and Gary Earl did not end up working with them. Without this communication, someone who Ethnos360/New Tribes Mission leadership said shouldn't work with children would have gone on to work in an organization that specializes in helping vulnerable children.

Another example is Al Lotz, a name recently added to this website's list. An Ethnos360/New Tribes Mission missionary kid shared that Ethnos360's investigation found that Al Lotz physically and emotionally abused him. This MK explained that Al Lotz, after he departed from Ethnos360/New Tribes Mission, went on to work with Surge International, an organization that describes utilizing sports to work with children around the world. To this day, Al Lotz is the senior vice president of Surge and is repeatedly featured on the organization's Facebook page with children, including visiting orphanages.

Since this pattern exists, and these examples are just two of many, when Ethnos360/New Tribes Mission fails to communicate these concerns, sharing this information with those it may affect is left to missionary kids and others.
