Local and state authorities plan to investigate the criminality of abuse against children at St. Joseph’s Orphanage in Burlington that occurred decades ago.
A joint state-local task force is to be announced 10 a.m. Monday at the Burlington Police Department, Vermont State Attorney General T.J. Donovan said Friday.
The probe, first reported by Seven Days, is planned in the wake of last week’s massive Buzzfeed News article by reporter Christine Kenneally about child abuse at Roman Catholic orphanages during the 20th century.
