Hundreds of cases of child sex abuse going back decades
may be reopened after the Catholic Church publicly abandoned a

Blind reporting occurs when an organisation passes on
an allegation of child sex abuse, but strips the report of the name of
the victim, meaning police are unable to investigate the report.http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-20/blind-reporting-child-sex-abuse-leaves-hundreds-not-investigated/7340128
