3 tough questions

I have a tough situation I need some advice on,
I have two boys (1 a Bear Cub and the other a Boy Scout) who's father, a
police officer, was arrested the other day for selling crack and taking
bribes. This has been a major news story, making most of the national news
shows yesterday. Most of the town's police force was locked up. Given the
fact that their sense stability and authority has been turned upside down and
assuming the boys are able to stay with Scouting:
1) How do I make them feel like their peers or leaders are not looking at
them differently than before?
2) What do I do to prevent comments from the other kids, or would it be
better to wait and handle them after the fact? If so how?
3) How do you preach / hold up the Scout law to the group, without appearing
to pass judgement (in their eyes)on them or their family?
Basicly, Scouting has to be a safe haven, how do I keep it that way for these
kids?
Let's face it we don't live in Mayberry. Kids will act like kids even if they
are Scouts.
