Youth Prisons Report More Sexual Assaults
Sexual assaults and other illicit incidents of sexual contact are reported at juvenile prisons at 10 times the rate of adult lockups, a government study finds.

The research found 10 reported incidents for every 2,000 youths at state-run juvenile facilities. At state-run adult prisons, it was one reported incident for every 2,000 inmates, according to the study by the Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics.

The numbers are based on substantiated reports to federal corrections officials in 2004.

Better reporting is one factor contributing to the higher rate at the juvenile corrections centers, said study co-author Allen J. Beck. State laws require staff members to report sex allegations involving minors, he said.

Gee, I wonder . . . Will U.S. Senator Rick Santorum (Republican, Pennsylvania) *blame* this on liberal Massachusetts too?

You see, Santorum has *blamed* the liberalism of Massachusetts, its politics, its academic institutions including Harvard University and MIT, and Ted Kennedy and John Kerry . . . on the sexual abuse of children perpetrated by Roman Catholic priests and furthered by Bishops, Archbishops, and the Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church!

Yes, you read that correctly. Santorum did do this and continues to do this. That is, blame society's ills upon Massachusetts due to its liberalism.

On the other hand, Santorum is a Roman Catholic (as is Ted Kennedy and John Kerry); however, Santorum doesn't claim his brand of off-the-wall neo-conservatism had squat to do with Pennsylvania's Roman Catholic Church sexual abuse of children perpetrated by its priests and perpetuated by its Bishops and Archbishops. Nor does Santorum recognize that priest sexual abuse of children is not isolated in Boston, Massachusetts. Nor does Santorum recognize that priest sexual abuse of children is a worldwide event or that it has been happening for generations within the Roman Catholic Church.

So much for hypocrisy and dysfunctional thinking. Santorum has the "corner" on it in the Senate. Come on, Rick, stand up and *blame* Massachusetts for this newly revealed sexual abuse of children too. Why not?

Shame on Pennsylvania for sending such an immoral bigoted fraud to the U.S. Senate!

U.S. Representative Barney Frank, a Newton (Massachusetts)
Democrat, called Santorum "a jerk" and pointed out that
(Santorum) tried to use the levers of the federal government
to block the removal of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube, an act
that Santorum likened to "execution." An autopsy found that
Schiavo's brain was half the normal size and that she could
not see anything. "This is one of those people who claims to
have had eye contact with a blind woman," Frank said.
