A man was sentenced to prison today(only 2.5yrs) for abusing boys in the church choir back in the 80's.
The Church of England, for whom he worked, knew he had been abusing boys and they 'hid' him, supposedly away from children, and did not report him to the police.
He was only reported when one of the boys he abused went a residential course to find this man worked there-with children!
Mind you, the parents of the one boy who reproted it to the Church in first place also hold blame for not having gone to the police.
The C of E and RC Church are both very well known enablers of child abusers.
Disgusting. no excuse for it at all. A Spokesman for the C of E , a priest, said on the news that 'we did what was considered right for the time'. This was in 1990 not 1890!!! He really ought to be ashamed of himself and how dare he call himself a man of God when he can lie to us and to himself like that?

I have a nine year old son and four stepchildren. I can't imagine hushing this kind of thing up. If someone hurt my child, not only would I go to the police, I would get him counseling immediately. Hushing it up like that only attaches shame to the children. How awful that he can abuse children and get such a slight sentence.
Amen, Brother! Whatever happened to "suffer the little children to come to me, for of such as them is the Kingdom of Heaven"?? And let us not forget that little business about the millstone around the neck and the deepest pond......
makes me ill!!!
