	Victims" Groups Want More Monitoring of Diocese WBZ February 9, 2009 http://wbztv.com/newhampshirewire/22.0.html?type=local&state=NH&category=n&filename=NH--ChurchAbuse-Victi.xml MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) Advocates for victims of clergy sexual abuse are urging the New Hampshire attorney general's office to continue keeping tabs on the state's Roman Catholic diocese. Under a 2002 agreement, the diocese agreed to annual state audits in exchange for avoiding criminal prosecution on child endangerment charges. In its fourth and final audit, the attorney general's office said last month that the church has made dramatic policy changes to prevent sexual abuse of children by clergy. But members of two advocacy groups BishopAccountability.org and Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests want the monitoring to continue for another year, and they want the church to disclose the names of those accused in 40 allegations made over the past five years. They're holding a protest Monday outside the diocese's office in Manchester.
