"If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a village to abuse one."
Sam Young joins us to discuss Spotlight, a 2015 film based on the true story of the investigative team from The Boston Globe that exposed the scandal and cover-up of child sex abuse by Catholic priests in the local community. We also discuss the recent Associated Press article "Seven years of sex abuse: How Mormon officials let it happen." This article was written by Michael Rezendes, who is portrayed by Mark Ruffalo in Spotlight.
