Family Shunning, Cover-Ups, and a Second Generation of Abuse [Allegations]

Host Franciska returns to The Franciska Show after a year-long pause, explaining she will release episodes only when conversations feel meaningful, and introduces a "No More Silence" part two with Tzipporah Shkedi. Part 1: https://www.franciskakosman.com/podcast/episode/2775ef43/he-told-me-it-was-a-mitzva-to-sleep-without-underwear-with-anonymous Tzipporah recounts being molested by her grandfather for about 10 years and says over a dozen others were abused; after trying to address it within her tight-knit Pittsburgh family, she faced anger, character attacks, and was removed from family chats and effectively excommunicated after anonymously sharing the first episode. She describes ongoing denial, public honoring of her grandfather, and "conditional support" meant to silence her, and says therapy was stigmatized. She reports recent allegations that one of her uncles molested his own children and abused his wife; her aunt obtained a get, CPS was notified, litigation is ongoing, and family members allegedly support and defend the uncle while pressuring children to stay silent. Tzipporah calls for communal action, victim support, and barring alleged abusers from shul. 00:00 Family Silence Begins 00:16 Podcast Returns 02:56 Why Come Back Now 03:58 Recap of Abuse 05:46 Aftermath and Backlash 10:18 Going Public Anonymously 11:47 Excommunicated from Family 12:39 No Thanks from Victims 13:59 Why Speaking Up Matters 20:22 Community Leaders Response 21:32 Forgiveness Not Forgetting 22:35 Handling It Internallly 24:31 Parents Support Revisited 26:07 Naming After Abusers 26:48 Dementia Excuse Debunked 27:10 Calculated Grooming Reality 28:34 Family Rejection Fallout 29:51 Cycle Repeats With Uncle 32:48 Aunt Reaches Out 34:13 Family Cover Up Response 36:04 What Accountability Looks Like 39:16 Shul Safety And Community Pressure 41:52 Cost Of Silencing Victims 45:03 Resources And Taking Voice Back 46:19 Legal Risks And Truth Defense 51:23 Call To Action Closing www.jewishcoffeehouse.com Email franciskakay@gmail.com to join the whatsapp discussion group.
