[Gocamino] [saintjames] response to Rosina and anyone else who wants to know

[Rosina]

Wow Lydia, 
I had no idea..... Thanks for this terrific information!
Rosina


          There is no evil from which goodness doesn't come - a rough translation 
And, by the way, I have learned that in California and Delaware the
"look-back" law that was passed to lift the statute of limitations on
accusations of sexual abuse only applied to private entities, not to public
ones such as schools. So if a child was sexually abused by a public school
teacher, he/she could not sue under this statute; but a child accusing a
person in a private institution like a church or school could. The Catholic
Church took the brunt of these accusations because of its financial
structure. Individual Catholic churches do not own their property or bank
accounts; the diocese does. This is not true for other denominations. So the
lawyers figured out that the only entity worth suing was the Catholic
Church. That is not to say that incidents didn't happen in private schools
or other churches/synagogues/ mosques. But these latter groups don't have
enough money to make it worth the lawyers' time.

However, good has come from this evil. The Catholic Church in America was
given a Charter by the American Conference of Catholic Bishops in 2002, rev.
in 2005, which orders all parishes to form Safe Environment committees to
monitor the safety of children/youth/vulnerable adults. All staff and
volunteers must sign a code of conduct. All staff and any volunteers who
work with or around children must take a 3 hour training class to learn to
recognize the grooming behaviors of predators and other ways to protect our
children, and all staff and any volunteers who work directly with children
must be fingerprinted. Also, all the children in 1st through 12th grades
must be given a class annually on self-protection. In addition to that, we
are giving programs to parents on internet safety, texting and "sexting" and
cyber-bullying. The Los Angeles Archdiocese is doing a terrific job in
following these mandates.
