One man’s story of the scourge of child sexual abuse

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel heartfelt Brother William, thanks for sharing an important topic for sure.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel ..."He says that while it is dangerously naïve for people responsible for protecting children to ignore the prevalence of such abuse, we do on a regular basis. He explains the ways in which we are programmed not to see it, and what we can do to stop it.

Mills is joined by Norene Roberts, the Multidisciplinary Team Coordinator and Facilitator at the Children’s Justice Center of King County. That agency was established to ensure safety for children, healing for victims, and justice for the community in cases of child sexual and physical abuse.

In this frank, illuminating conversation, they discuss what happened to Mills, what he did about it ultimately, how predators avoid exposure and are protected in certain ways by human nature and institutions, the rise of children’s advocacy centers around the country, and the important role they play in the recovery process."

The Catholic Church for decades is sexually abusing kids and very few clergy are charged let alone incarcerated. I conduct clinical research on this topic. I know four men in my area who were victims. And the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese initiated a compensation fund in 2001 to by the silence of these victims. The cover-up remains prevalent.
