Statement Regarding NJ Governor Signs Bill Revoking Charitable Immunities Act

 


Date: Fri, January 6, 2006

Statement by David Clohessy of St. Louis (314) 566-9790 cell
National Director of SNAP

Kids are safer than ever in New Jersey now.

Employers now have more incentive to screen employees, train children, and
prevent abuse. They will work harder now to prevent horrific sex crimes
against kids and respond better when abuse happens.

New Jersey citizens should be grateful to the brave molestation victims and
their advocates who have helped reform this archaic, arbitrary and
restrictive law that protects molesters and those who hire and shield them.

My home state of New Jersey is yet another in a growing list of states that have supported retroactive changes in the law that will restore justice to those abused as children and bring dangerous predators to justice. Senator Joseph Vitale (D-Woodbridge) , Fixthelaw.org led by Mark Crawford, Marc Goebel, John Hardwicke, SNAP leaders, VOTF members and many others worked for seven years to fix the law in New Jersey and provide incentive to charitable institutions to protect children from predators. Thank goodness they never quit.
