6. What is ubiquitous in so many cases of child sex abuse is the cover up

Several years ago there was a double page photo expose in The Houston Chronicle of abusers who were public school teachers. The photos were passport sized with a short bio. There were so many. The paper at that time was a real broad sheet. The accompanying story took 2 more pages.

These abusers were often given the choice of quietly resigning and given a good recommendation so they could abuse children at another school.

I am not arguing that the Catholic Church is not at fault. I just want people to not become complacent with simplistic answers as to how and why this is happening.

I have a granddaughter who was groomed and abused by her best friend's father.
