 of almost three years.
"At this point, your eyes are closed, your teeth are clenched. He puts his clothes on, so you know it's over. You go home and hope it doesn't happen again, but inevitably it does," Yascavage said.
A particularly low point in a series of such encounters, the priest asked Yascavage's parents for permission to take him on a two-week, out-of-state trip, and they agreed.
"My parents thought this was wonderful — 'Wow! This man wants to take Nicky on vacation,'" he said. "I don't blame my parents at all. They were just doing what they thought was best."
Yascavage said the priest took him to a relative's home. He said he had begun sleeping with his clothes on but the priest would come in and begin rubbing his body with oil. And at a stop in Maine, the priest set up a camera and began taking pictures of Yascavage naked.
The pair eventually made their way to Nova Scotia, Canada, where they stayed in a cabin by themselves. Yascavage said that was where he first began hatching plans to kill the priest — perhaps there was a way to poison him, he thought.
Yascavage said the priest plied him with liquor that he later thought might have been tainted with some type of drug because he passed out, only to wake up disoriented and wondering what had happened. He said the priest continued to take nude pictures.
"It's at this point in my life that I realize that I'm nothing more than a piece of property. Within this 10-minute span, I reinvent the murder plan. My only thought was I'm going to take the (car) wheel and drive the car into a bridge or embankment," he said.
Shortly after the pair returned home from the trip, Yascavage learned that the priest had left the parish.
Chiasson died in 1999 at age 60, according to an obituary found online.
After serving in Harrisburg, he became a youth pastor at another Catholic church in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, served as a Navy chaplain and prison chaplain and worked as a truck driver, the obit said.
Yascavage's eyes filled with tears as he said he has wondered why he didn't tell his parents or anyone else about the abuse when it was happening to him.
"My biggest regret is the thought that had I come forward, maybe not at age 12, 13, 15 or even 17, but maybe somewhere in my 20s, I could have prevented all these victims behind me. That's the hardest thing that you have to live with," he said.
And then there's what he called the "collateral damage" that being sexually abused by a trusted member of the clergy causes in the victim's life.
"You are truly on an island. Your faith is taken from you. You fall through the cracks, so to speak. When this began, I started alienating myself from others. I started feeling that I was betrayed by someone who I thought was my friend. There's a lot of shame and embarrassment because you think it's your fault," Yascavage said.
"You bottle this up. You're keeping this inside and before you know it, 40 years goes by."
Yascavage said he reached out to the Pennsylvania attorney general's office last year and was encouraged to share his story to officials with the Diocese of Harrisburg. When he did, he said the diocese immediately offered to pay for counseling.
The Oklahoman reached out to the Diocese of Harrisburg regarding Yascavage's allegations.
"Upon becoming aware of the allegation, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg promptly reported this allegation of abuse to ChildLine and the District Attorney," Rachel A. Bryson, the diocese's executive director of public relations, said in a statement.
Yascavage eventually traveled to meet with Harrisburg Diocese leaders to make an official statement about the abuse. His Oklahoma attorneys Ben Baker, Rusty Smith and James McClenny — founding partners of the Spartan Law Group — traveled with him earlier this summer on a matter related to his case.
"Nick has participated in the Harrisburg Diocese's victim compensation program," Smith said.
"In June, we all went to Boston and tried to work this out and we appreciated the opportunity. The challenge is the alleged limited funds available to the victims because they are paid by the individual dioceses under the victim compensation programs. We don't think funding should be limited to the local parishes. It can and should come from above."
Baker said clergy who prey on children entrusted to their care betray the youths in the most horrible way because the men are representatives of God in the eyes of their young parishioners. He said the experiences leave children questioning how they can pray to a God who would allow these priests to do such things to them. Was there something wrong with them that the "man of God" singled them out for abuse?
Baker said Yascavage was left to grapple with such thoughts, causing him confusion and mental anguish for years. He said because of this years-long torment and the ripple effect for the victims' families and everyday life, he would like to see state legislation eliminating the statute of limitations for child sexual abuse crimes.
"Priests have created a mental prison for these kids," Baker said.
He said "holy man" and "priest" are not titles "that these monsters deserve."
"My faith was taken and I still don't know what I believe. I don't even know if I believe in God. I know there will be people who will read this story and dislike me and say, 'Why would you want to blacken the eye of the Catholic Church?' — but this was created by the Catholic Church," he said.
"These events are impossible to forget but they're also too painful to remember. It just never leaves you. How do you heal from that?"
Just wanted to know how many Witches Male / Female is here?
Wondering if you would like to join me and making a great message board?
I'm not here to just look for members but to also find new wiccas / Pagans friends as well.

Now, I'm not Pagan, nor a Christian. (I'm an atheist.)No offence, but aren't there better websites that you can find people like you? In my opinion, Instructables is supposed to be for people who do projects such as robots,mechanics,art & craft projects,hobbies,etc,etc, but (In my opinon) looking for other Pagans and stuff like that goes in the catogory of religion and spirituality.
So, your first post here is asking people to join your forum...and you don't call it spam?
Hi, Danny. To answer your question, Yes I do believe in Spells and magick. Of course nothing will work if you don't believe or have the faith. BB Tarot It's all good.CBS is interested in a new series, but they're worried about making the same mistake that Paramount made in the 90s - oversaturation.  There was a seven-year period between 1993 and 1999 when there were always two Star Trek shows on the air (first TNG and DS9, then DS9 and Voyager) *and* a steady stream of TNG movies.  Even for hardcore Trek nerds like me, that's a bit excessive; to say nothing for the general audience.

Time and JJ's movie have peaked an interest in Trek again, but the people in charge want to make sure this interest is legit and not a fluke.  Assuming *Into Darkness* does well, CBS will likely look at getting a show off the ground.  My guess on when we'll it:  2015 at the earliest.Lead is a toxic metal. Lead based paint is one of the leading causes of lead poisoning in the United States. According to the data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are about 250,000 children under the age of 5, suffering from lead paint poisoning in the USA, including the city of Cincinnati, where many houses are still contaminated with poisonous lead paint.
According to the guideline from the National Institutes of Health, lead paint poisoning can affect nearly any organ of the human body. When lead is taken into the body it is stored in the bones. Children are at significantly higher danger of lead paint poisoning because it can damage nerve and brain development which impairs long term health. The younger the child, the more dangerous and harmful lead is for healthy growth and development.

Chronic lead paint poisoning in children is associated with brain injuries in children resulting in:
Lead paint poisoning in children is diagnosed when the amount of lead in blood reaches.05 micrograms per deciliter or more. Blood lead tests can be made virtually at any medical facility. These tests are inexpensive or even free at some locations. Residents of Cincinnati may contact the Cincinnati Health Department for information on blood lead tests.
Is is often mistaken that children get lead paint poisoning by eating paint chips. According to Cincinnati’s Community Development Housing Division, “one
