Establish a National Commission To Investigate Organizational Child Sexual Abuse and Identify Federal Responses
Children are being sexually abused in religious, educational and youth organizations, Federally funded and/or tax exempt. All abuse victims suffer; some commit suicide. A few cases, Penn State, Philly/Boston/K. C. dioceses, Mormon/Boy Scouts, are publicized. Predatory priests, rabbis, ministers, nuns, teachers, coaches, and scout leaders, are secretly protected by unaccountable superiors and abuse again. Local laws are inadequate. Local officials and media are unduly influenced. Victims are denied justice. Prior responses have been inadequate.
