text: When reading about these calls for reviews, I'm reminded of the recent Australian study of the alarming number of abuse by Catholic clergy and of the unreported abuse of some of my male friends when they were children. The information I read in the Aus. study doesnt distinguish gender, but I think the majority of abuse is against defenceless young boys, many of them orphans and aboriginals. I hope we don't forget about documenting the abuse of these young boys here in Canada, who historically have been reluctant to ever report abuse. I think it is or has been a silent epidemic made worse by the fact that these children were completely defenceless.
