According to the best research on the topic the problem of sex abuse of children in the American public schools is now over 100 times worst than clerical abuse of children was in the American Catholic Church when it was at its peak during the late 1960s and 1970s. Moreover the most dangerous sex abuse locale for children in America seems to be single parent female headed household with a “live in boyfriend of the month” where the abuse rate exceeds 260 timers that in the traditional American family of married parents. Yes the sexual revolution and the breakdown of the traditional American family are significant drivers of sex abuse of children in America. Not that you would ever know it from the MSM, which seems determined to place any reported instances of sexual abuse of children in the context of the Catholic clerical abuse scandal. [One wonders why.]

The best and unequaled research available on sex abuse of children within an American institution is that by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice studies of sex abuse of children by priests in the Catholic Church. According to that research the American bishops went into special session at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) conference in 1985 to address clerical sex abuse of children when the bishops were aware of only 815 cases of accusations of abuse spanning the entire United States over a time span of several decades. Within a decade they had put practices in place that reduced instances of abuse to well below the background rate in American society. MSM never reports about this despite the fact that the John Jay College studies are a matter of public record.

For that matter, there are no few instances of local prosecutors devoting substantial proprietorial resource to target the Catholic Church or a local bishop but never Planned Parenthood which simply does not report instances of criminal sex abuse of children among its abortion “clientele”. Neither have I ever heard of a instance of a prosecutor at any level of government devoting resources to investigating and prosecuting statutory rape among underage sex abuse victims joining the welfare rolls. It seems that scapegoating the Catholic Church is the only way our Western elites are willing to address this wide spread problem.

Long trials, though, benefit lawyers and their profit motive. So long trials it is.

Thus the Left’s ROE prevents them from looting their own alliance members in the school unions.

You can get it from the Church. You can’t get a dime from the Public School teacher, or almost anyone else on this issue.

I’d bet most of the allegations are false or monumentally exaggerated. The grievance industry is an industry. Show me the money baby!

I would advise a little research on “grooming gangs”, specifically in the UK. It would show what enormous child abuse an overwhelmingly atheistic/agnostic society had/has no trouble in accepting and would illustrate the hypocracy even more.
I would even suggest it as a future post as it does also illustrate islam on child abuse.

And of course there is also the abuse as a result of the divorce culture, lowering of age of consent (aka throwing children to the wolves), hedonistic culture …

The abuse in the CC was very much part of the greater abuse in the Sex and Drugs and Rock&Roll Society, but the CC has cleaned up its act, that unlike the Sex& Society which only seems to go from worse to worse.
In short, the CC has been made sin-eater for the crimes of the Sex& Society.

Ps. There will always be some abuse in the CC as long as their is humanity. Thus the cherry-pickers will always be able to pick cherries.

PPs. Are there studies of abuse by “sexual educators” or as a result of “sexual education” itself. Now there is a balloon that needs to be pricked.
