Why did they sweep it under the rug? Why didn’t they prosecute it?
Whether they did or not, why, on earth, throw out the welcome mat for homosexuals to work with those boys?
That was standard operating procedure in just about all facets of society – government, corporate, churches, schools, private organizations, media, sports, etc.
Some facets get more scrutiny than others. The rest are breathing a sigh of relief that the focused facets are taking the arrows.
Wait. BSA was a hotbed of pedophilia abusers, and now that this is out in the open and victims want recompense for their suffering, it’s libbzzz fault?
Well, you might think it’s a “hotbed”. An average of seventy-some SUSPECTED abusers per year (given the numbers in the news) is a pittance against 800,000 adult volunteers.
Maybe you WANT it portrayed as a hotbed to advance libberism’s lust for corrupting all things espousing traditional values.
Maybe some want to portray 70/year as just more traditional values to uphold. That and the acceptance of Donnie’s repugnant sexual mores and voila! Today’s traditional values. They ain’t yo daddy’s traditional values.
"The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) are covering up rampant pedophilia within their ranks, with 350 previously unknown adult scoutmasters or members identified as alleged abusers, according to a new lawsuit against the youth organization.
A new lawsuit, filed on Monday in Philadelphia County Common Pleas Court, accuses the BSA of facilitating “a continuing and serious conspiracy to conceal and cover up” sexual assaults against children within their organization."
This is just filth. Lying filth.
"Founded in 1910, the Boy Scouts have kept confidential files since the 1920s listing staff and volunteers implicated in sexual abuse, for the avowed purpose of keeping predators away from youth. According to a court deposition, the files as of January listed 7,819 suspected abusers and 12,254 victims.
Until last spring, the organization had insisted it never knowingly allowed a predator to work with youths. But in May, The Associated Press reported that attorneys for abuse victims had identified multiple cases in which known predators were allowed to return to leadership posts. The next day, Boy Scouts chief executive Mike Surbaugh wrote to a congressional committee, acknowledging the group’s previous claim was untrue."
Disgusting behavior from the Boy Scouts organization.
Since it hasn’t been mentioned, the article states the filing is Chapter 11, which is a reorganizational bankruptcy, and not like a Chapter 7 liquidation bankruptcy. Not to say it won’t end that way, but it’s not there now.
As is the case with any organization - church of whatever denomination, or other boys and girls clubs, etc., one has to wonder why?
Why were these sexual predators protected instead of shamed in front of their communities?
Considering that homosexuality has been looked down upon from the beginning of time (here in the US) until the 90s at least, why were these homosexual predators allowed to continue their predation instead of being thrown in jail?
The vast majority of the cases were from the 60s, 70s and 80s. And that’s how things were done back then. Not just in the boy scouts, but in most aspects of society. See this post:
