The sexual abuse of Deaf kids, and of kids with all manner of disabilities, is rampant, not only in the Catholic Church, but in schools, institutions, on the street, and within families.

The sad fact is that having a disability makes you far more likely to be raped or sexually abused.

We live in a very sick world.
