That’s a funny way to spell “church officials raping kids…”
Editorial watering down like this is disgusting. Even if it wasn’t intentional, if you as the reporter aren’t comfortable calling sexual abuse rape in a headline and have to water it down to “harm,” that’s another reason to keep it full-strength. If it makes people mad, good. The truth should make people mad in cases like this.
“Church’s role in harming kids…”

I think the issue is more so that the harm wasn’t solely sexual. They fucked up the kids in a lot of ways.
You’re right, “rape” or “fucks up kids in innumerable ways” is good.
