Het richt(te) zich vooral op het pedofiele misbruik, waarover het ook onstond.
Inmiddels bevat het ook steeds meer informatie over de situatie rond de indiaanse scholen in Canada en de VS.
Nav het Ryan rapport over het misbruik in de Ierse tehuizen is per vandaag een project gestart over de USA tehuizen.
Wanneer je hierover, of over het Ryan rapport, of de ontwikkelingen in Duitsland rondom de vroegere tehuizen maar de taal een probleem is, waar je met de (vaak knullig slechte) internet vertaalmachines niet uitkomt , schaam je dar vooral niet over maar weet je welkom via de reactiemogelijkheid of de email.
Dan kan er wanneer je dat wenst mee gezocht worden naar een oplossing.

Allegations of Sexual Abuseat Catholic Residential Institutionsin the United States
This webpage provides a sample of Catholic residential institutions in the United States where sexual abuse of minors has been alleged. Many aspects of the allegations in these cases will be familiar from the Ryan report on abuse in Irish institutions.
For example:
- • In Washington State, the Christian Brothers of Ireland settled with two dozen alleged victims in a single residential school.
- • In Wisconsin, the director of a school for the deaf admitted to sexually abusing at least 30 boys and may have molested 200 or more.
- • In Vermont, church officials settled with 75 men and women alleging physical and sexual abuse of shocking brutality at an orphanage.
- • In Kentucky, an order of nuns settled with 45 men and women alleging physical and sexual abuse at another orphanage.
The large numbers of alleged victims, the horrific nature of the abuse, and the advantage taken of entirely vulnerable children in 24-hour care, all link these U.S. cases unmistakably with the Irish situation. Ireland’s system of Catholic residential institutions for children was centralized and state-financed, whereas in the United States, almost every diocese had its orphanages, residential schools for the handicapped, and minor seminaries. Both systems endured into the 1980s.
In both countries, inspection and supervision were lax to nonexistent, and in the resulting vacuum, children were tortured and raped. In the United States, brutal and depraved regimes often thrived in dioceses run by eminent bishops, and in Vermont, a future bishop is alleged to have abused an orphan at one of the worst institutions.
It is an urgent question, whether institutional abuse in the United States was similar in scope and depravity to the abuse analyzed in the Ryan report. The sample presented below would suggest that it was. BishopAccountability.org has launched a project to assess the breadth and depth of institutional abuse in the Roman Catholic church in the United States.
We urgently request that anyone with articles, documents, or other information contact us at staff@bishop-accountability.org.

Note: This table does not state or imply that individuals facing allegations are guilty of a crime or liable for civil claims. The sources cited in the table document allegations. The U.S. legal system presumes that a person accused of or charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty. Similarly, individuals who may be defendants in civil actions are presumed not to be liable for such claims unless a plaintiff proves otherwise. Admissions of guilt or liability are not typically a part of civil or private settlements.
In the U.S. legal system, all accused persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty. This table is based solely on allegations reported publicly in the media or publicly filed in the courts. BishopAccountability.org, Inc. does not confirm the veracity of any actual allegation, and this table is not a representation of the legal case history of the individuals listed herein.
