While the Church does have the right to investigate child abuse
cases

Only to the extent that they turn them (the cases) over to the civil
authorities. Beyond that, they have no power.

They have never claimed to have power on these cases.
But, when there are allegations, shouldn't they investigate?

No, they should report it to the authorities. If your neighbour
mentioned to you that his car had been stolen, would you advise him to
contact the police, or would you tell him not to bother and
investigate it yourself?

If my neighbor mentioned that MY car had been stolen,
don't I have the right to go out to my garage and look inside?

But the crime is by you, not against you. Remember it is your priests
raping children.

Perhaps a better example......
Your neighbor knocks on your door and says that your child
stole his car 3 years ago.
Do you immediately call the police?

If my car had been stolen, then yes. But unlike your church that
would have moved the kid so he could steal other cars, I would have
reported the crime straight away.

but you would have asked you kid about it, wouldn't you?
Why can't the church ?
