child abuse scandals in the U.S., the known and the unheard of.

now we've all heard of the priestly child abuse scandal in various dioceses in the U.S. and the huge sums of money being paid as settlements, and we've all felt horrified. we trusted the priests, and this is what we get. nothing brings out anger or disgust in most of us than the abuse of children.
it has all been discussed in the minutest of detail by the media, and if this public humiliation is the penance the church has to make, then so be it.
and i suspect you would all feel the same anger and disgust boil up inside if i said children are being abused by others in positions of trust, namely school teachers. but how come no one is talking about it? read about it here.
