Accountability to our Children, NOW!!

To:  United States Senate, House of Representatives and President George W. Bush

Our great nation is in the midst of a serious problem that is affecting our children today. Currently, the media is inundated with stories of the Catholic Church Scandal and Pedophile Priests. The most deplorable factor of this issue is that these pedophiles have co-abusive enablers.

These priests are being transferred from parish to parish, essentially feeding the fire of child molestation. Why aren’t the people that protect these pedophiles being arrested? This should be a clear cut case of aiding and abetting a criminal, shouldn’t it? Or, perhaps even conspiracy or negligence of a minor.

I implore you to use your power, influence and name to defend our countries children. This is not a problem that faces the Catholic Church alone. Children the nation over are being abused, and in many cases, someone knew or knows. Someone could have helped, but didn’t.

Teachers are required by law, as are some other skilled professionals to report suspected abuse. All intelligent and responsible citizens of this great country of ours should be able to report suspected abuse to the appropriate authorities. There should be some punishment or repercussions for the inaction to do so. This should be so for every adult in this country. Whether a parent, teacher, relative or anyone who suspects abuse; the outright supplying of children to child abusers and the suppression of any potential criminal outcome is a crime that can not be tolerated in civilized society.

If there is a law that needs to be written for these pedophile enablers to be punished, let us not waste any time making it. Please protect our children and make the negligent and co-abusive conspirators accountable for their inaction.

The time has come for a “Good Samaritans for Children” law.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
