The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests praised the Catholic Diocese of Kalamazoo for releasing a list of people disqualified from working with kids but is hoping for even more information to be added to the list.
“It is always helpful for survivors when these lists are posted, especially for those who may be suffering alone and in silence,” the organization wrote in a Friday release.
The list includes people who have been “credibly accused” — though not necessarily convicted in a court of law, — violated a child-protection policy after warnings, failed as a mandated reporter to report allegations of abuse of minors, failed to act to prevent abuse they knew was happening, gave pornography to minors, possessed or used child pornography, physically abused minors or directed sexual abuse or sexual assault of minors.
It does not clarify which people are accused of which acts.
