Thanks Joe, I will look it over...I was actually aware of the Jay report.

I read over the 2003 Philadelphia Grand Jury report and also the Archbishops response, I understand that this location has an internal outreach program with three sociologists employed that are available to for parishners assistance, including spiritual and other services to those sexually assaulted.
If that represents the typical level of support "to assist those victims assaulted to become "whole again", it would seem very minimal, to deal with some fairly serious long -term impacts of youths being violated by people in a position of trust.

While neither of us seem to be in a position of knowledge to determine if the response was effective nor appropriate for the crimes...it is best that we not shoot down the possibility that it was effective, nor lead people to believe it was a proper response "to assist the victims to become whole".
