Alleged victims' point of view represented on new site

While the Cornwall Inquiry investigates how institutions in the St. Lawrence River town of 46,000 handled charges of widespread sexual abuse, a new website has popped up that looks at the inquiry from the alleged victims' point of view.

In broad terms theinquiry.ca is about Church authorities, politicians, law enforcement officials, lawyers and judges who collectively turn a blind eye to paedophiles, willfully place children at risk, and are indifferent to the plight of male victims of same-sex sexual abuse. In other words, broadly speaking theinquiry.ca is about the value we as a society place on the protection, well-being and security of our most precious asset, or children.

More specifically, but within those broad parameters, theinquiry.ca is about the public and highly controversial inquiry into allegations of sex abuse, a paedophile ring and a cover-up which have rocked the community of Cornwall, Ontario and the small Diocese of Alexandria-Cornwall for thirteen years. The inquiry started with the calling of expert witnesses 13 February 2006.
