What:

– Was removed from Damien for abuse allegations, but parents and students were never informed.
They will also:
– Discuss a recent child sex abuse accusation against a former Damien principal,
– Urge victims and witnesses to report to abuse to law enforcement, not church officials, and
– Show how a landmark new Hawaii law is helping to warn parents about predators.
