I think these days they don't leave the kids alone with the Priest. It would have to be in a group. Just normal safety - I would rather err or the side of caution than have my child ruined for life by a pedophile, and they can be ANYONE.
Right. Not that the Priest is any more likely to offend, despite the lurid headlines. I think volunteers are supposed to do things with a witness to prevent even the appearance of impropriety.
