Massive sexual abuse scandal ignored for decades

Bill.in.PA · 2018-08-20T00:27:10.149Z

School administrators are certainly covering up abuse by their employees, and the national news media seem to be willing accomplices.

Male on male rape in the military is another one.

We need more people to speak out about this issue.

Those familiar with the issue. You seem to be. So maybe people like you.

Nope. I’m done trying to save the military.

18,900 military members experienced unwanted sexual contact in the fiscal year ending September, 2014.

4.3% of active duty women and 0.9% of active duty men experienced unwanted sexual contact in FY14.
Of the 18,900 survivors, 43% of females and 10% of males reported.
Victims of Sexual Violence: Statistics | RAINN

There are 1.22 million active duty servicemen. That means that a 0.9% abuse rate corresponds to just under 11,000 men. And that is just in one year.

My observation is that reporting sexual abuse of males in the military does not fit with the agendas for promoting gays and women in the military, there is no interest in reporting the statistics.

Nothing to see here; move on . . .

I served in the military. I would never suggest there isn’t a problem in it’s ranks.

What are the rates compared to the general population? That’s what tells you if it’s a military specific problem, or just a “some people are bad” problem. It’s a problem either way.

Sorry, my point was to satirize the lack of reporting of a serious abuse problem by the news media.

Do you feel the news media is trying to cover up the abuse because the Trump administration is charge of the military and isn’t doing anything about this issue?

Long before Trump.

The “point” here was to paint the godless, liberal press as biased for reporting on the Catholic child abuse scandal while ignoring potential child abuse in schools. Yeah for scoring political points using sexually abused kids, I guess.

Maybe the “so called press” shouldn’t be attacking President Trump for the things the Kenyan Usurper got away with every day.

Ok. Sure. The Catholic church might have done some things that aren’t ok, but what about Hillary? How come nobody is upset about the things she did? I guess libs don’t want to own up to their own hypocrisy.

Never reported on this is?

Just today.

The media has spent a lot of time reporting on the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s report about alleged abuse in Catholic churches with many of the cases dating back several decades.

I would love see a similarly vigorous reporting about ongoing sexual-abuse problems and cover-ups in public schools that may affect thousands of times more victims.

This is not an either/or question.

Bill.in.PA · 2018-08-20T01:15:59.902Z

A report about Baltimore-area private school from the Baltimore Sun. What is your point?

Where is the national media?

Drs · 2018-08-20T01:20:15.643Z

Should have read it. Based on a report from the Washington Post.

Bill.in.PA · 2018-08-20T01:24:15.095Z

Annapolis is part of the Baltimore-Washington area. You are still missing the point about national news media.

For example, find me the CNN (or NY Times or Washington Post) report on the massive abuse and coverup in the Chicago public schools that appears in the OP. Why is that only a local story in Chicago?

Right? Leftist media quickly covered up her Pizzagate scandal. And innocent kids who just want to enjoy a half cheese/half pepperoni are at continued risk to that monster and her demonic pie-making cabal.

No matter what gets reported you have to try and deflect and play the victim.
