When I was younger, there was a local church that literally took busloads of children out "witnessing". They loaded up children as young as eight and dumped them out on the streets alone. This was in a bad neighborhood, too. The kids were to split up and go door-to-door handing out religious tracts, meeting back at the parked bus at a certain time. The adult bus driver usually just sat there while the children did the legwork. Even as a kid myself, I wondered what the parents were thinking.

I find it hard to believe that any church group would allow 13 year olds to witness to rapists. Street people would be fine, but I doubt that most churches choose to organize witnessing groups made up of minors.

Certainly not alone!
Certainly not under circumstances that let's them follow her home or back to the church.
If the CHURCH does that then ALL the Church members are accesories before the fact should any harm come to the girl. That's a felony, with a minimum of 2 years in jail.
I would say SHOULD any harm come to ANY person as a result of MAKING THEM or PUSHING THEM or otherwise INTINIMATING THEM into a situation that opens them to bodily harm, except in state of war, that would be sufficient grounds to declare the Church not a religion but a cult, a dangerous cult and close the Church down, confiscate all they own and distribute it to the victims.

I think everyone should witness to anyone. As far as kids doing that yes as long as a adult is with them. Homeless and rapist needs the Lord too.

Witnessing to a rapist = Witnessing your own rape
Church groups of any kind are evil and need to have common sense raped back into them.

no.
...what in the world is up with so many folks pouncing in with insults all the time.. seems a bit unbalanced to me.. spooky, ya know.. almost threatening.. is this where the faith of evolution (death is the reality, not life) gets ya..? It's amazing to me how much people hate a God who supposedly doesn't exist.. and how much anti-christian sentiment there really is.. Is this the new accepted and enlightened hatred..

As a former minister, I would say no.
Children should witness, if they would like to, but to persons of their own age and circle whom adults would not have access to.

It does not sound great does it? It seems to me that these young girls may be put at risk. there may well be good adult volunteers etc. but have they carried out a risk assessment?

Yeah, if they want to be witnessing to their OWN rapist.
