Abuse victim wants Kansas archbishop to do more re: Bishop Miege abuse allegation
Statement by David Clohessy, Volunteer director of Missouri SNAP
The head of a Kansas City Kansas Catholic school has been suspended because of “recent reports" questioning his ability to "oversee a safe environment" for kids.
It's pathetic that Catholic officials continue to be so secretive about this man, his recent behavior and the child sex abuse report against him from New Mexico.
While his suspension is welcome, he should never have been hired in the first place.
Kids are safest when abuse allegations and concerns are reported to secular authorities like police and prosecutors, not to church officials. We hope every person who may have seen, suspected or suffered any misconduct by Phil Baniewicz or anyone at Bishop Miege High School will call law enforcement immediately. We also hope Archbishop Shawn McKnight will be more forthcoming soon and will use church resources to aggressively prod anyone with suspicions or knowledge of wrongdoing to contact law enforcement.
