St. Helens community demands accountability in school abuse allegations at town forum

U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Oregon, whose congressional district includes St. Helens, put out a statement Friday reading in part:

"The allegations that have been made to date reveal an alarming pattern and all those involved in the failures that have led to this crisis must be held accountable for their actions and for the harm caused by their actions. As a senior member of the Education and Workforce committee, a parent, a policymaker, and an Oregonian, I will assist and support the community.”
