I saw post 48. A childhood recollection isn't an answer to the question of whether Baptists (see for example Baptist Hide & Seek) have set a better example than Catholics in addressing clergy sex abuse of minors.

According to the Associated Baptist Press, for the past 6 years the Southern Baptist Convention has refused to implement any of the following:

• A mechanism for victims to safely report abusive clergy
• A panel to evaluate allegations of abuse
• A database or other means to notify congregants of abuse allegations

I'm not posting this to disrespect my Baptist brethren. I'm posting it because it's not likely to be reported in the mainstream news anytime soon. Catholic news items may be more fashionable but they don't go very far in protecting kids in churches, schools or other institutions that haven't come close to implementing the kind of safeguards you'll find for kids now in Catholic dioceses across the country.
