    UK – Now generations may be spared torment so many of us endured: An abuse survivor who gave evidence to independent inquiry says report is a turning point
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11338717/An-abuse-survivor-gave-evidence-independent-inquiry-says-report-turning-point.html

    “….If the Government acts on its recommendations, future generations of children will be spared the torment we suffered and every day of the long inquiry, chaired by Professor Alexis Jay – not to mention the £186million it has cost – will have been worth it.
    The inquiry was set up to look into the history of child abuse in schools, hospitals, football clubs and other institutions. Some greeted it with scepticism: post Jimmy Savile, what else did we need to know? Boris Johnson, for example, who was also at Ashdown House ‘prep’ when it was riddled with paedophiles, said he believed such inquiries were utterly pointless.”

    New Jersey –

    “Disturbing details of clergy abuse at the elite Delbarton school in New Jersey could be made public thanks to a recent court decision — placing the spotlight on a former top church leader who could be the state’s next cardinal, The Post has learned.”
    ” . . . During his time, at least 30 students came forward with sexual abuse allegations against Delbarton clergy, the Survivors Network of those Abused By Priests said — some with lurid claims of being brutally abused hundreds of times by Benedictine monks.”
