That works out at an average of roughly 12 French kids being abused per day over the last 70 years.
But in France there are (a quick Google search reveals) 32,000 churches, 6000 chapels, and 87 cathedrals (not including countless more catholic schools and colleges, and adding them would reduce the already small result below significantly)
So if we assume this abuse was happening at random churches each day, this means that kids were being abused in only 0.03% of churches but were perfectly safe in 99.97% of churches. That's a pretty good record if you ask me!
One could argue that percentage is a sort of daily "Russian roulette" and that even though the probability of being abused on any given day is low, the probability over longer times is higher. But assuming the abuse happened at random churches is totally unrealistic in the first place, because there were probably a small minority of bad clerics abusing many kids in the same church. So the actual risk of abuse in most churches would have been far lower, probably orders of magnitude lower, than even 0.03%Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

I think we can probably imagine there is more that wasn't included, but I think we also drastically underestimate (or perhaps deliberately choose not to think about) the amount of child abuse that happens every day generally... the majority of it at home.
Not to dissimilar to marital abuse and domestic abuse generally, most of it is invisible and never reported.
I could be wrong. Hopefully I am.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

But the organised abuse of kids is too difficult to cover up and we should tackle it as often as possible.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
