Double standards

That the U.S. jurisdiction in terms of damages sometimes decides not exactly squeamish is so well known. was discussed as also with us this year the question of the proper amount of damages or compensation violently for sexual abuse, can sit up following current message yet:

"A jury in the U.S. state of Delaware has a presumed victims of sexual abuse by a priest $ 30,000,000 damages (about 22.9 million euros) awarded. It was by far the highest amount that was ever placed in a single court decision in connection with a case of abuse, it said circles of experts on Wednesday. The plaintiff had testified in court that he had as a boy in the 60 years he was abused by a Catholic priest sexually.

According to the decision of the court in the city of Baltimore was the parish of St. Elizabeth's in the city of Wilmington responsible for the abuse and must therefore pay the plaintiff three million of the 30 million dollars in damages. Previously, the priest Francis DeLuca, a judge of the abuse of the plaintiff John V. was found guilty. The 80-year-old priest had been violated in 2008 from the priesthood. Because of the repeated abuse of his 18-year-old great-nephew DeLuca had been sitting 60 days in a New York prison. "(APA / DAPD)

With about 23 million € so, the court stepped in Baltimore, the one on the basis of sexual abuse damage now to compare a short memory of those figures of compensation by the Church in this country a few months by the media haunted.

"How in the Compensation model say to, `for several years continued abuse resulting in injuries and / or continuing mental pain ' 25,000 euros be paid out for cases of" 5000 euros for mild cases, 15,000 more severe for multiple attacks over a long period of time or a small number attacks in violence. And the model is also one last point that was left open at the top in terms of magnitude. `Compensation in particularly extreme cases'" (Press of 06.25.2010) is fair to add that any treatment costs are paid in addition should. can

default, assume that the benefits are likely to settle for an average of less than 25000 euros, or about one per thousand the currently awarded in the U.S. total.

is not as likely that in the United States proposes for sexual abuse at best required therapy with over 20 million Euros to the price, is only stunned amazement on the principles and standards of American legal system that at such astronomical and objectively lead nothing unjustifiable payments .

The Austrian church was held that public records here, "far higher" subject. So be adjudged 2003 after innerfamiliärem abuse without injury 65000 EUR. The maximum should be at € 125 000 in 2005, which was in this case, the victim has even been tortured.

Again, we are discussing here is still between one-tenth of the area though clearly exaggerated American record.

Not that the idea here is to be raised, often with many years of suffering could be money, it only flows abundantly, are made up for it. The very divergent orders of magnitude be rather suspect that not just classify everything at the material level and can be solved. Perhaps the stakeholders (church leaders, victims' lawyers etc) to more thoroughly consider how to deal with the victims and truly worthy of help and as with the perpetrators responsible and to act consistently is.
