New York Archdiocese of the Roman Catholic church uses comic book against child abuse

Flavor: Religion

After years of sexual-abuse scandals, Roman Catholic Church officials are trying to convince parishioners that they're doing everything they can to prevent such tragedies from happening again. That means public education, training programs and—in the New York Archdiocese—a surprisingly direct, abuse-themed coloring book for kids that's being sent to parishioners across the area.

"Being Friends, Being Safe, Being Catholic" has the usual lessons in loving thy neighbor and knowing we're all special in God's eyes, plus a word search with names of people whom kids can trust (parents, counselors, teachers). Many of the book's cartoon-sketch drawings are narrated by an angel looming overhead. But on one page, the angel warns of an online predator—with chest hair exposed—who attempts to chat with a child; on another (shown above), the angel implies that children should make sure they're never alone in a room with a priest.
