[BlindKid] OMG, what is going on here?

[Emily]

The allegations of sexual misconduct at the Lousiana Center are beyond
upsetting.

Here's some information bout what the NFB has done.

I've also attached 2 reports from the special committee and what they
found.

The NFB also hired an outside investigator to handle every single
allegation.

It's an awful thing that happened, but I wouldn't say that the NFB is doing
nothing either.
