Let's see... the same leftmedia that spent so much time attacking the Boy Scouts for being 'homophobic' and not allowing homosexual boys into the program, is now attacking the Scouts... for suffering the consequences of having homosexual boys in the program.

Hmmmm...

If you think maybe sex perversion and abuse were bad before letting openly fag kids join, just wait.
Get you boys out of the BSA and home school your kids.

I assume they hid it because if it was known they would have got backlash over changing the policy to allow gay troops.

Like students in “schools”, there is ONE ROLE for the
children under this Administration. They are prey.

Or because there are privacy issues when minors are involved. Any lawyers want to chime in?

The Boy Scouts were selling popcorn outside of the grocery store last week. Since I can’t eat popcorn, I always gave them a contribution instead.

This time I just blew right past them. No way.

IMO they wish to destroy the organization completely.

The same leftwingers who want the Catholic Church trashed for sex abuse, have been trashing the Boy Scouts for trying to prevent it.

My dad was a scoutmaster from 1940 till about 1963. He told me of incidents of molestation of younger boys by older boys. her dealt with it firmly and quietly.

One weekend at camp, an older boy tried to molest me in front of some of my friends. We relentlessly mocked that guy all weekend, calling him “jack” because of what he was trying to make me do.

I could draw a distinction between the terms "prey" and "livestock," but the net result is identical, so I doubt there's a need to bother.

Since 1917, the measure of dictators has been mass murder. Thus far, Mao Tse Tung is still #1.

And to think that the closeted homosexuals would do this but now they want to up the ante by demanding openly homosexuals in amongst their candy!

Letting homosexual pedophiles into the scouts was allowing the fox into the hen house.

Pray America will Wake Up

Note these were minors committing the acts.
Yeah, that really is a problem.

Obviously the solution is to re-define sexual abuse so that sexual contact between adults and non-adults is OKAY as long as one of the parties BELIEVE it is consensual.

That way, there is lots of leeway for sodomites to follow their perversion without punishment.

Nah. Compared to Margaret Sanger and her minions Mao was a mass-murdering piker.

Meanwhile all of the thousands of sexual abuse cases in the public schools are considered “isolated incidents” with no reflection on the NEA, school boards, or industry.

What is in ABCDisney’s files about homosexual abuse at Disneyland/World and on their filmsets?

Not necessarily.

What is called "hid" may be "attorney-client privilege".

I'm currently reading a book about corruption in the music industry in the 1970s and 1980s. As payola scandals were once again looming, the RIAA sought to circle the wagons and do some investigating of just what the hell was actually going on. But they were concerned that they could then be required to fork over their internal findings to a prosecutor. How the investigation is initiated and under what circumstances can determine if such internal reports can be "hidden" legally.

The attorneys are likely trial lawyers seeking a payout (or out of court settlement). They want as damning of evidence as they can get in their hands and an internal report could be considered “admission of guilt” or “criminal conspiracy” to a jury.

If they aren’t seeking jail time over financial settlement, then their own motives as lawyers are suspect.

Just as Obama is okay apparently with Assad using machine guns to kill dissenters, so long as he doesn’t use “chemical weapons”.
