Dennis--I want to thank you and all the staff of NCR who for the last 30 years and more have dealt with this very difficult problem.  I'd like to remind everyone that the sexual abuse of children probably dates back thousands of years and that incest in families is just as common.  It's an intergenerational relational trauma and we must find how to break the cycle--that ending the sexual abuse of children is as difficult as ending slavery and that we must struggle with our own inner demons which tempt us to get trapped in anger, hatred and despair.  And that overcoming these oppressive feelings leads to our spiritual growth which brings us nearer to God.
