Ex Kanakuk Kamp staffer arrested for child sex abuse
Statement by David G. Clohessy, former national director of SNAP
We are encouraged by the arrest of a former Kanakuk Kamp staffer on charges of child sexual abuse. We're confident this move makes kids safer and that it will bring some measure of comfort to the many who suffered child sex crimes at Kanakuk facilities in both Missouri and Colorado.
We beg all current and former Kanakuk Kamp employees, volunteers and campers to aggressively seek out other victims, witnesses and whistleblowers so that this man can be effectively prosecuted and kept away from children.
A charge is not a conviction. So this is no time to be complacent. Every single person who saw, suspected or suffered wrongdoing at these camps must summon the strength to call police, prosecutors, therapists and support groups so the wounded can be healed and the vulnerable protected.System from bloxdigital.com.
