[quote=Anonymous]My kids have been in Catholic schools since they were of school age, and I'm always surprised to hear parents whose kids are in public schools talk about overnight trips for their kids with teachers - camping trips with the class, overnights to Jamestown or NYC or to the Chesapeake Bay, etc. In our Catholic schools, there hasn't been anything like that in years - and while the Catholic malfeasance is well publicized, Catholic schools aren't the only places where children have been sexually abused. I'm glad the VIRTUS program is in place, and that every adult in our parish and parochial school who have direct contact with kids (lunchroom volunteers, field trip chaperones, CYO coaches, in addition to those regularly in the classrooms) have to take it. It's no guarantee that there won't be a problem, but it's part of a responsible approach to preventing more problems in the future. [/quote]
