I think it would be a matter of at least one competent person going to where

the orphanage(s) is (are), and planting themselves in the community-then,

perhaps, making acquaintance with boys who are in the orphanage, or youth who

were in the orphanage. At some point these children and youth may feel

comfortable to speak about recent alleged incidents. With such first-hand

testimony the local police may (definitely not for sure) take some action.

The ISKCON reports, such as the official decision and files from the APVC,

can supplement the first-hand reports from the boys who are there currently.

The evidence in the APVC file is strong, but on its own I don't think it will

arouse the police into action, especially considering that they may have

developed a relationship of some sort with the alleged abusers.

 

Another approach is to organize a letter-writing campaign, with each letter

accompanied by the official decision, and also perhaps by some of the more

implicating evidence in the file. If the supporters of the orphanage in

England and India receive 200 letters, then they may take action to close the

orphanage and perhaps also to conduct their own investigation.
