US Catholics began the Virtus program I think about a decade ago, but unfortunately it’s not a cure.

There is no 100% cure, but the VIRTUS program is very good. Among other things, it dramatically heightens the awareness of teachers, coaches, volunteers, clergy, etc as to what to watch for and how to identify potentially dangerous trends and situations (like adults arranging to be isolated or alone with potential victims).

It has also expanded to include protection for other vulnerable groups (elderly, developmentally challenged, etc).

It requires full background check, fingerprinting, and training sessions, and is required of anyone working with kids or vulnerable populations.
