Dan Carle<\/p><\/div>\n

“My parents took Dan Carle\u2019s advice. As a family, we didn\u2019t speak directly about the abuse until I confronted my parents while I was in treatment at the age of seventeen. \u00a0On several occasions over the past 30 years, we have discussed and tried to deal with all of the effects of the abuse (addictions, relationship problems, etc.) but rarely the abuse itself.”<\/em> – Victim of\u00a0Michael Weber<\/p>\n

[Note: Dan Carle has counseled pedophile priests,\u00a0victims of pedophile priests, \u00a0and comforted the Wetterlings. In 1998, Dan Carle surrendered his license to practice social work [\u00a0View<\/a>\u00a0]. \u00a0He continues to counsel victims of sexual abuse.\u00a0]\n

The quote above is from a statement received from a 1970’s victim of Michael Weber.<\/p>\n

The victim continued:<\/p>\n

“I have since learned that, at the time of the abuse by Michael Weber, Dan Carle was employed by the St. Cloud Diocese as a Marriage and Family Counselor for Caritas Family Service Agency and have attached to this statement a reference to this position and his term of employment.”<\/em><\/p>\n

After graduating from Saint John’s University in 1961, Dan Carle spent three years (1961 to 1964) as a corrections counselor with the Minnesota State Department of Corrections. From 1964 to 1974 he was a therapist with Catholic Charities in St. Cloud. From 1974 to present, records indicate that Carle has been associated with several private counseling centers in the St. Cloud area including:<\/p>\n

Family Counseling and Parenting Center
\nCarle Institute for Strength-Based Management
\nFamily Counseling Associates
\nCenter for Family Counseling
\nCenter For Family Counsel<\/p>\n

As a private counselor, Dan Carle met with at least one family victimized by a Saint John’s Abbey monk.\u00a0According to a woman who was a minor during counseling:<\/p>\n

“I felt Dan Carle was inappropriate at times.\u00a0\u00a0During one family meeting he\u00a0asked my parents how often they were sexual.\u00a0We were all kind of horrified at that question. He also shared that\u00a0he and his wife did not always lock the door when they were being intimate.”<\/em><\/p>\n

In 1998, Dan Carle lost his social work license due,\u00a0in part, to boundary issues.<\/p>\n

As more light is shed on Dan Carle’s role in the Michael Weber situation, the public will undoubtedly learn more about his role in other cases of misconduct.<\/p>\n
