Institutional Sexual Abuse

Sexual abuse, PTSD, depression, anxiety, lifelong trauma caused by institutional concealment

The institution knew. They moved him instead of stopping him.

You were a child. You trusted an adult in a position of authority. What happened was not your fault. Institutions like the Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts chose to protect their reputation over protecting the children in their care. Documents prove they knew. Documents prove they chose silence.
