If you were in DC in June for our 2019 Leadership Conference, you had the chance to attend an advance screening of Cracked Up, the documentary about the life, childhood, and recovery of Saturday Night Live legend Darrell Hammond. Now, this moving, trauma-informed film gets a release date. Cracked Up hits theaters in New York and LA in September, with wider distribution to follow.

In the 20th century, America cut the prevalence of child sexual abuse from about a quarter of all kids to just one in ten. We did it by waging a war on ignorance and bringing the first dedicated services for victims. Yet today, rates remain stubborn. Professor Marci A. Hamilton offers a three-pronged approach to making this devastating childhood experience truly rare.

Yet another major institutional child sexual abuse scandal may be breaking, after a lawsuit against Boy Scouts of America was filed late Monday. Lawyers filed on behalf of nearly 800 clients who were abused while Scouts, with at least 350 named abusers not found in the Boy Scouts’ disciplinary files. The suit alleges that the U.S. scouting organization hasn’t done enough to vet volunteers and uncover sexual abuse.

New podcast episode up with Emily Putnam-Hornstein, a researcher in the field of predictive analytics—using data to predict child abuse. Some feared this new tool would worsen inequities in the child welfare system, but where agencies have started using it, something strange and wonderful happened: by limiting initial case information to "just the facts," predictive analytics actually reduced the effects of implicit bias. Listen to the latest episode of our One in Ten podcast and learn more about the tools and their possibilities.

"[C]lergy members often look for ways to testify about crimes such as murder without invoking the clergy privilege, but when it comes to clergy child abuse, the clergy tended to interpret clergy privilege very broadly. That’s one reason why critics say the privilege has to end, at least when it comes to crimes against children."
