	Catholic Church Takes on Sex Abuse Scandal By Emily Wood WJTV April 24, 2008 http://www.wjtv.com/gulfcoastwest/jtv/news.apx.-content-articles-JTV-2008-04-24-0028.html Thursday morning third graders at St. Therese Catholic School asked questions about multiplication, spelling, and learned lessons of a different kind. The young students listened as their teacher Patricia Holder told them how to say "No" to strangers and as she explained the difference between a safe touch and an unsafe touch. "I wondered was there a child that had been abused, and maybe I didn't recognize the signs," Sister Deborah Hughes said. Hughes has worked in Catholic education more than forty years. The thousands of sex abuse allegations against Catholic priests shocked her and led her to create a new sex abuse prevention curriculum.
