Call for honesty about sexual abuse
A lawsuit against a former priest in the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington led victims of childhood sexual abuse and their supporters, to urge parents to seek the truth.
WDEL's Carl Kanefsky has the story.

Members of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, went to St.
Edmond's Academy in North Wilmington Thursday to distribute educational leaflets about
Father Paul Daleo, a former staff member at the school, accused of sexually molesting
young boys in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Joelle Casteix wants school officials to be honest, and says the suit alleges school
administrators did nothing when they learned Daleo was assaulting students.
Headmaster Michael Marinelli says the school has nothing to hide and has turned over
all of the information it has regarding Daleo, hoping to help find a resolution around
the incidents, while protecting today's students too.
Marinelli says he and the entire school community take these issues very seriously.
