I've been at a Southern Baptist church since 1995. I've never had any use for the politics of the Convention. I am confident that our local church has dealt with the few issues that have arisen above-board, in the best interests of those who could have been exploited. I am a big believer in local church autonomy.I've been too busy reading the SBC report... Oof.
I have grown less and less enamored with the Convention and think it's a grand mistake for the denomination to start treating itself as hierarchical when it should not be. In sum, I don't know what other churches or the Convention have done, but our house is in order and has systems set up to protect people from exploitation and abuse to the extent at all possible. if the Convention itself is rotten, it's time to go.
