I live in the Cleveland Diocese. Things sure are 'progressive' here. It has been a burden.

Though I wonder when the media is going to start revealing numbers on public school teachers who carry on with students.

I was listening to the radio the other day and they said in Ohio the numbers were quite high. They cited our city where three teachers in 2 years (at one high school) have either resigned, gone to prison or as the last one did about two weeks ago, committed suicide.

Somehow I don't think the media will be as vigilant when it comes to these abuses.

A couple of weeks ago a young male teacher from the town next to mine was arrested and is awaiting a trial date for the rape and repeated abuse of a teenaged boy. Turns out this guy was fired from a Catholic HS a couple of years ago for being "innappropriate" (verbally, not physically) with teenaged boys at the school. There was nothing to prosecute him with - he broke no laws and didn't touch anyone. The Catholic HS (Jesuit!) did all it could do... but there is a very large loophole in the lawbooks as this guy was legally allowed to roam around and find other victims in a setting condusive to his unnatural and unchecked sexual whims.

BTW... although this story was fairly well reported most of the stories didn't mention the sex of the victim and only one account related his firing from a Catholic HS.
