Susan Bailey continued:
What was freaky is the house. I was looking around the house and it was all antiques..
In that very room Mrs Neary, his wife, used to give Charlie and other boys cookies after they were molested in the room nearby.
SUSAN: I said did Father Neary bring children to the house? And he said, yes, all the time. They would go to the back room and he would counsel them.

And so the iceberg topples a little bit more

Wherever Bailey and his wife Susan go, they take cards with an 800 number and information about the book, Bailey still makes public speeches.
They continue to find more survivors of Neary and other priests in the region but:
“They don’t want to talk,” Susan Bailey says.
“In the beginning, I understand it. I found this one survivor. One of my friends called me and said, I know this guy that's a cop and firefighter on the weekends and he was a victim of Father Neary. I know because he was always with him, I just know he was.
Susan Bailey continues:
“I picked up the phone and called him at the police station. He called me back. I said I heard you were abused by Father Neary. So was my husband. He wanted to meet right away.
"I got in my car and met him in a restaurant, then he came to our house and he spent five hours at our house.
But he said I don't want anyone to know about this and don’t use my name even with the bishop. He gave us the name of other possible victims.
Then by the time he left, he said okay to say his name to the bishop but not in the news media.

Well City of Angels has expressed before how we feel.
Keeping the story secret of felonies committed on you by pedophile priests secret is being self destructively timid - the only way we will ever see justice is when there are hundreds of stories documented and we can see the similarities from state to state, city to city:
