our view, and your right. Biased and skewed by circumstance, but your issue in that regard. I wish there was a way for your pain and hate to be lessened. But that is not something any of us can do, nor is there enough money to do it either. The realities of a warped society and human weakness cannot be remedied, but only protected against as well as possible. Recognition of reality is not the same as condoning bad actions.

Okay, finally we can see apparent proof that the BSA issue is part of the larger problem in our country, and probably most of the world if other countries mirror us in some manner. I was called names and worse when I tried to point out that BSA was being singled out while a greater problem likely exists throughout the youth serving agencies. https://www.businessinsider.com/sexual-abuse-schools-inappropriate-student-teacher-relationship-predators-2023-12 So, while there still is no excuse for what was sensationalized in regard to BSA, much that was poorly documented or exaggerated

Perhaps, but I've been struck by the number of professionals who said prior to the claims coming in "We don't have a problem" and then were shocked down the road when they saw otherwise. This is also a matter of scope that must take into account the number of youth served. Logically the more youth served the greater the chance for abuse.

NOTE: 38,000 Survivors did NOT indicate their Council at the time of filing a cla

You were called out because you have consistently tried to downplay BSA's role and responsibility by referencing such as: the social norms of the times that the abuse occurred, BSA is better at CSA prevention than other organizations etc etc. Once again, your words are like that of a child, I hit Johnny because Joe hit Johnny so I can't be that bad.
