Denied the ability to sue, he helped form a survivors' support group, A Safer Place of Portland, to prod the state to take action. Now 40 years after the alleged abuse began, and after countless setbacks, the group is growing in solidarity. It has the support of the governor and the Maine Legislature, which is expected to set aside $5 million to compensate victims and to apologize to each one....In 1976, six years before the attorney general's investigation, at least three Baxter teachers had independently reported suspected abuse to the Maine Department of Education, but no action was taken. By the time the attorney general investigated, it was too late to press charges. The statute of limitations had expired." <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
