Talk about a major abdication of responsibility. A Minnesota mother says that Catholic Church officials are blaming her for the sexual abuse her sons endured at the hands of their priest,Raw Story reported.In 2012, Rev. Curtis Wehmeyer, a former pastor of Blessed Sacrament Parish in St. Paul, pleaded guilty to abusing the boys aged 12 and 14 as well as possessing pornography.Wehmeyer had lured the boys into his home in a white camper and given them drugs and alcohol. He instructed the boys to touch themselves as well as touching the boys on multiple occasions.
this is a perfect example of what i was talking about in another post, "RIGHTS" we are a country of paper rules, what we think is a real freedom to do is subject to those in your space and what their intent is.
sure women should not be assaulted and raped because of a revealing dress, you should be able to walk the streets without fear, you should expect the elected officials to do the job you put them there to do, you should expect the police to protect and serve, and you should feel safe around your priest with out fear of assault, but in this real world no you don't you have as much right to those things as those who would attack you have to do what they do.
sure there are consequences but they do not take the hurt or trauma off you do they?
Their mother, who has remained anonymous to protect her children, said she never suspected her boys were abused, although they did begin to struggle and school and got into fights.The family subsequently sued the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis for the abuse. Earlier this month, Archdiocese lawyers said in court that she should not have allowed her children to spend time alone with Wehmeyer.“She was aware of the time (her son) spent with Mr. Wehmeyer, and she knew that such interaction was contrary to established Archdiocese policy,” the Archdiocese said in its filing.
are they really warning the parishioners to avoid pedophile priest instead of firing or sending them for therapy. it's like live with it they are telling them their children are in peril of the church's established policy???????
