JESUIT SEXUAL ABUSE OF NATIVE AMERICAN CHILDREN ON RESERVATIONS IN WA, ID, MT, OR & AK

[red and caps in the original announcement]

[That is in Washington State, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Alaska.]

Did you attend Jesuit Mission or other boarding schools where children were raped, molested and beaten?

You are not alone. It was not your fault.

Some Jesuits were good to Native children but unfortunately, too many were not. The Jesuits dumped their worst child molesters on the Reservations where Jesuit Officials allowed these men to molest and brutalize native children many of whom had been taken away from their parents and placed in Jesuit missions and boarding schools.

If you or someone you know suffered abuse by a priest or other religious, you have important information that will help protect today's children. Speak confidentially to attorneys seeking information about priests and religious serving at missions, schools and parishes in the Northwest since the 1930's. {Partial list below.}

Now the Jesuits are seeking to permanently cut off abuse victims' rights to justice, healing and compensation. The court deadline is fast approaching.

The website will of course have more info.]

[PLEASE, PLEASE RE-POST THIS IN ALL NATIVE AMERICAN WEBSITES YOU KNOW; and on Facebook, etc. etc. etc. NOTE THAT THERE IS A TIME LIMIT! Some form of Justice, Healing and Compensation is LONG OVERDUE for these victims and survivors of abuse.]
