This is a very sad situation and this kinda thing needs to be addressed how many others have been abused this same way? When attended grade school I was taught by the sisters of Mercy and these women knew no mercy. I remember telling my mother that this little girl had a clothespin placed on her lips the whole day and the little girl cried because her lips were turning purple. Of course, my Mother said "Sister knows what is best" Part of the problem is Priest etiquette I was taught there is to be no familiarity between Priest and laity. I still try and follow this guideline and that was in 1965.
