They don’t resign, they go to prison unlike Catholic clergy who flee to the conclave of pedophiles in Rome.

usually its kept quiet and they get shunted to another school or district

Gee, TSgt— I can’t help noticing that you seem to make it your business to make an ignorant and bigoted anti-Catholic remark on each thread having anything remotely to do with the Catholic Church. Tell me: is this a full time occupation for you, or are you simply obsessively hateful?

INT- 5 Steps Pope Benedict should take in the next 2 weeks

SNAP - Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests

By stepping down, Pope Benedict has proven he’s capable of bold action. For the safety of children, in the weeks ahead, we hope he’ll show similar decisiveness and

—discipline at least a handful of current prelates who are concealing or who have concealed child sex crimes,

—insist that every bishop post names of the credibly accused predator priests on his website (as 30 US bishops have done: http://www.bishop-accountability.org/AtAGlance/lists.htm),

—order bishops to actively work with lawmakers to pass stronger child safety measures and reform archaic laws that shield officials who commit and conceal child sex crimes,

—turn over all church abuse and cover up records held by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to local law enforcement and

—halt the canonization of Pope John Paul, so all church employees will see that ignoring or hiding child sex crimes will lead to consequences. The time for promises and policies is over. It is time for decisive action.

Except, "they" do not.

‘Passing the trash’

Too often, problem teachers are allowed to leave quietly. That can mean future abuse for another student and another school district.
“They might deal with it internally, suspending the person or having the person move on. So their license is never investigated,” says Charol Shakeshaft, a leading expert in teacher sex abuse who heads the educational leadership department at Virginia Commonwealth University.
It’s a dynamic so common it has its own nicknames—“passing the trash” or the “mobile molester.”
Laws in several states require that even an allegation of sexual misconduct be reported to the state departments that oversee teacher licenses. But there’s no consistent enforcement, so such laws are easy to ignore.
School officials fear public embarrassment as much as the perpetrators do, Shakeshaft says. They want to avoid the fallout from going up against a popular teacher. They also don’t want to get sued by teachers or victims, and they don’t want to face a challenge from a strong union.

...unlike Catholic clergy who flee to the conclave of pedophiles in Rome.

You are nothing but a useful idiot for he anti-Christian Left. And, given that you know damn well what effect a comment like this will have on Catholic and other Christian Freepers, you are also trolling. Hard.
