With the help of Perplexity, I've created a web page you can explore these news reports of abuse by schools, police & institutions from 11/1 to 11/8/2024.

And by "explore," I mean read, check referenced news articles, ask questions... dive as deep as you care to go.

I'm excited to here your input on this new project!
