This is just wrong.

I was a child victim of sexual abuse. Children are smarter and better at sorting out their own survival than we ever give them credit for.

If a child goes to a priest they've gone under the umbrage of the sanctity of the confessional. If they wanted criminal justice they would seek out a cop.

Aside from all of the other obvious strangeness of that statement, it doesn't address the issue of the guy who, in a brief moment of remorse, confesses to the priest and says "I raped some kids."

Huh? I think you have things confused. This isn't about a child telling a priest about abuse. It's about the abuser confessing his sin.
