PENNSYLVANIA
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
Posted by Barbara Dorris on June 25, 2012
We call on Penn State officials to disavow confidentiality or “gag” orders and to agree not to ask victims to sign them before their cases are settled. From a PR perspective, these orders may be tempting, but from a prevention perspective, these orders will only do the public a disservice.
It is important that the facts about this harrowing situation can be made public, so that people may learn where things went wrong, and what can be done to prevent such wrongdoing in the future.
Penn State officials have publicly said they want these suits to be resolved quickly. But in some ways, we hope not all of them will be.
