Who among us isn’t sick and tired of hearing this horrible stories of priests abusing kids and then moving on to other parishes? How in the world are the children in the new parish supposed to protect themselves? How are the parents even able to find out?
There are a myriad number of alarming reports contained in the Pennsylvania grand jury report detailing just that. Priests committing criminal acts, and sometimes even confessing them to their colleagues. Instead of facing justice, they are simply relocated. Often times in another state. Before the dawn of the internet, most of these offenders were given a virtual clean slate and able to start fresh.

Some of the harrowing accounts containing in the Report include three sibling sexually molested in their home. The priest was relocated and eventually became a champlain for the air force. Why in the world would the military want anything to do with this type of deviant behavior? What can we do to prevent this type of thing from happening? The first course of action is to lobby your state legislature to make changes to the statute of limitations laws. These are the rules governing how long you have to bring a case. Most research says that victims of child abuse take a very long time processing the pain. In fact, sometimes decades can pass before they feel comfortable talking about the abuse. Most statute of limitations in the United States are for a couple of years. In other words, if you are a victim you only have a couple of years to sue.

Well how are you supposed to do that when it might take 20 years of counselling and therapy before you are even able to talk about the trauma? Hopefully the Grand Jury Report is the start of something big, nationwide. We need radical reform across the nation so that the perpetrators are forced to face justice. Not just in civil court where they can be sued for money, but criminal court as well where they can go to jail if convicted by a jury of their peers.
