Let us be clear: It was not your fault.
Widespread child sexual abuse occurs because of sexual predators, and it continues because those predators are supported, be it through negligence, downright avoidance, denial, or reputation-preservation, in place of protection of the child.
Why now?
The Catholic Church and other institutions like The Boy Scouts of America have established settlement funds to compensate survivors of childhood sexual abuse. The funds will only remain open for a short time so the window of opportunity to apply for these funds is limited. Don’t Wait!
