Custodians of abuse - Across the nation, family court is the last place a mother concerned about child sexual abuse by the child's father wants to find Herself by Kristen Lombardi "Much Has changed since a 1989 study showed that Masscachusetts family courts were skewed against mothers in disputed custody cases. But more reform is needed. Changes in Massachusetts family courts since 1989 A 1989 Massachusetts study commissioned by the state Supreme Judicial Court showed that mothers engaged in custody disputes with their ex-husbands or boyfriends can fall victim to gender bias. Family courts held mothers to higher standards than fathers. Judges and other courtroom personnel, for example, scrutinized mothers' habits, work schedules, and relationships, as if looking for any reason to prove them unfit." http://www.bostonphoenix.com/boston/news_features/top/features/documents/02643516.htm
15 Men Reach Settlement on Abuse Claims AOL 1/10/03 Boston (AP) - "Fifteen men who said they were abused by clergy who taught at two Jesuit-run high schools in New England have settled their claims, their laywer said. Attorney Roderick MacLeish did not disclose the dollar amounts of the settlements but called them ``fair and equitable.'' The Boston Globe reported Friday that the settlements totaled $5.8 million and ranged from $75,000 to more than $1 million. Eleven of the men claimed they were abused while they were students at Boston College High School in the 1970s and early 1980s. Ten men named the Rev. James F. Talbot, a hockey and soccer coach, and the other cited the Rev. Francis J.
