Agreements like this are easy to brag about but tough to enforce. The NH AG made one like this. Within months, church officials tried to wriggle out of it & refused to pay for the oversight it had agreed to.

While victims, cops & DAs are getting smarter, sadly, so too are perps. Look how this predatory Baptist tried to 'get out in front' of his victim's abuse report

More than 100 proven, admitted and credibly accused Cleveland child molesting clerics are still being hidden by diocesan officials. Think of how many kids are still at risk!!!!
