This is what happens when things aren't investigated and people aren't formally charged/convicted. Letting peole resign and then forgetting about the problem isn't a solution to police misconduct.

How did the cop get her phone number??

​

No idea why this got downvoted, the article just seemed to casually stroll past that fact. I'm in no way condoning the cop's actions, whether she gave it to him willingly or not.

I really thought the student was given the job of investigating sexual assault, and then got sexually assaulted. Either interpretation is pretty Oniony though - I'm not sure which I hate more.

University police officers have access to student information systems which include contact details, current and home addresses, grades, classes and class locations, and more. It’s also possible she had to share that information with the cop or the university police before accepting a ride.

It is easier to point to catholics because there is 1 of them and about 5000 brands of protestantism, also, the pope runs one of the biggest corporations in the world, so there is money there (that he refuses to give out) for compensation.

Or was legitimately confused on how he got her number. When I worked on a ambulance years ago we couldn't see the callers phone number.

As another commenter pointed out constructively, I guess university police officers have access to all of that which makes it that much worse.

I appreciate the attempt at sarcasm & downvotes on a legitimate question though.🤷‍♂️

This is a factor in so much more than just this issue. For example, on basically any regulatory violation, large companies tend to comply better than smaller ones, but it's much easier to go after McDonald's or Wal-Mart than after the local mom & pops or even the mid-tier companies, and when you do go after the big guys, as you said, there's more money (and better press).

They give as little to possible to their victims and as much as possible to buy influence in politics. $3 million in Kansas this year alone.

Any dollar you give to a church goes directly towards taking away human rights and protecting sec offenders. Tax the churches into the fucking ground

I was involved with a suicide prevention committee at one point despite having attempted four times. I do nonprofit work in education now but am transitioning back to suicide prevention next year.

I got some flak for it but I have a sense of humor though so usually my friends or I are the ones making the jokes. It did hurt when I got called “worst committee member” by a colleague though.

A cop near my hometown had a young man in custody in a holding cell, where he took his own life. Afterwards, the young man’s fiancé, or wife- I cannot remember, had won a wrongful death suit against the cop as the two had a daughter …. In less than 5 years the cop was given a promotion to head detective.

Replying to PigSlam (#785,214)

That really doesn't pan out though. There are abuse scandals in pretty much every organization where adults have power over children. All sorts of religious organizations, religious and secular schools, the Boy Scouts, numerous little league sports teams have all had child abuse scandals.

When a celibate priest decides they can't uphold their vow, they don't automatically turn to abusing children, they end up with adults. There are plenty of stories of priests either dating someone secretly, or visiting sex workers. Sometimes, they quit entirely and get married rather than continue as a priest.

Whether or not celibacy for priests is a good idea can be debated, but abstaining from sex for long periods of time does not turn you into a pedophile.

Replying to WhyBuyMe (#792,928)

True. Whenever you hear about a cult for instance, 8/10 times not only the leader abuses the adults in the sect but then somehow they all end up abusing the children too. I don’t think they are conventional pedophiles, I think it’s the narcissism that makes them believe they are entitled to whatever they want because they are god on earth or some shit. In the cas e of the catholic priests, they just seemed to have kids around in church activities and they are easier to manipulate and scare into silence than adults. I think it’s more of a “crime of opportunity” but of course not all the cases are the same.

You pretty much 100% agreed with me. Smaller companies have a harder time complying with regulations, while big guys don't. This is sometimes a good thing (the local McDonald's is likely cleaner than the local dive), but is often just a symptom of regulatory capture.

Pope still hasn’t released records of who attended (was forced into) residential schools in Canada, even after we found over a thousand dead kids (probably more dead from disease than from direct abuse, but why was this a surprise/not officially recorded, and why did they put kids in close, unsanitary conditions without enough food?).

Worse, the articles about it mostly describe someone asking for it then talk about how wonderfully gracious the pope was during the meeting and never mention that he didn’t give over the records - leaving the impression that he did.
