Release of Chicago Abuse Files is Another Example of Why They are Important

In the past we have seen the importance of the files  when there was a release in Los Angeles.   There was also the release of the files of the Boy Scouts.  Each has led to a safer community as we find out what was known,  when it was known, and how the cases of each offender were handled after each disclosure.  We also find that there are offenses which go back even before previous admissions.

The files are supposedly the proof that the church continues to review to create the lists that they have been disclosing.   History tells us that they are the wrong ones to be trusted to make the right choice.  It is time that along with the files that have been disclosed here in Minnesota,  that these files also be disclosed.

The names continue to be disclosed,  however there are more lists that exist in Minnesota  and there are many more names and information  to find.

Abuse of children and the continued silence by the offenders needs to be prevented. If you suffered, saw, or suspected such events, it is important to know that there is help out there.
