Survivor of notorious New Orleans child sex abuser priest speaks out for first time

Neil Duhon blames archdiocese for allowing his rapist to prey on children throughout his career.
The clergy abuse survivor who helped prosecutors secure the only conviction against a notorious child rapist and retired Roman Catholic priest in New Orleans is still hoping that authorities file criminal charges against his former high school principal and everyone else who enabled the clergyman.
“Everybody that had any part … needs to be held accountable. Period – period,” Neil Duhon, whose rapist was Lawrence Hecker, said in an interview with WWL Louisiana and the Guardian, the first and only time he’s ever revealed his identity to the public.

The survivors of the Shoah remember, because they have seen this before.



Never forget. Never again.

And in case you need a reminder of why.

The lunar eclipse has reached totality here in central Illinois and we have a nice clear sky.  It's a very dark eclipse, blotting out the moon almost completely and making the sky quite dark.  Most I've seen have just had a red or pink tint but the moon remained fairly visible.  If your sky is cloudy, there are livestreams like this one.

Recently I found this series on YouTube: My Giant Cloud Rainforest Vivarium Series - Full Playlist (All Seasons). The author has been keeping ants, lizards, and various other creatures for many years. Some of those live in their own isolated enclosures. Others live in a vivarium along with a small community of organisms with compatible needs. A few live in larger, more complex vivaria that have whole miniature ecosystems that mimic nature in as many ways as feasible within a defined space.
