That’s like the Menendez brothers pleading for mercy because they are orphans.

Do teachers who have committed sexual abuse with students collect their SEIU benefits?

Why does everyone only pick on the priests?

How about the money it costs to pay their victims subtracted from their pensions. They get what’s left.

I wonder if it was Gamecock or the original source that couldn’t correctly spell ‘BENEFITS’.

My money is on Gamecock.

In any bankruptcy the petitioner is legally obligated to truthfully list his assets and liabilities. That is all there is to it, plus the usual anti-Catholic hysteria.

There probably isn’t much else the diocese can do, because otherwise they will be sued by these priests and end up having to pay even more.

I like the fact that your article included somebody who had been accused but nothing had been proven. Sweet. Maybe somebody will accuse you of something someday and you’ll see how great this is.

What if these pileofit preists also took part in the global warming scam, still get a pension? Throw in bank robbery and NOT wearing a seat belt?

To me the question here is what is my duty if my father, my brother or my child is guilty of a horrible crime. How do I obey the duties of familiar piety? What is appropriate care for my family member who has sinned grotesquely and viciously?

What does He who died for sinners want for them? How do I show it?

My GUESS is I do not protect them from civil penalties. If I am bishop I tell them they must hand themselves over to the government.

But when they are discharged from prison, to whom else should they expect to go if not to the father they adopted before sin and sickness overthrew them?

‘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.
