The new report by the Maryland Attorney General's office found some 600 children and young people experienced sexual abuse by priests in the Baltimore Archdiocese. Survivors said they were not surprised by the number and still wanted accountability. Host Don Rush talked with survivors Teresa Lancaster and Jean Hargadon Wehner with the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests as well as activist Gemma Hoskins about their reaction. The SNAP hotline is 1-877-762-7432.
