Lawyers looking into offenses going back to the 1970's: 5,000 accused abusers' names released via court order, but now a victims' organization says there are hundreds more names not released by the SBA.

I don't know what to say about this.

The Boy Scouts have certain things in common with the Catholic Church which makes them interesting to lawyers:

1. Extensive assets which can fund big payouts
   Extensive records going back many decades, and
   1. The "gotcha" factor: "People used to think you were so decent, so "morally straight". Hypocrites!."

   You wonder ... I wonder ...how much is a search for justice for men who say they were molested 40-50 years ago, and how much is a desire to access $$$ and discredit/destroy traditional institutions.

My family bailed on on the Boy Scouts a couple of years ago after they bailed on our sons’ futures.
Let homosexuals and girls join? Fine, but do it without us.
I’m glad they changed their name to Scouts BSA. Makes it clear to everyone what they no longer are.

The left lives to destroy anything morally good.

Does anyone even remember that YMCA means Young Men’s Christian Association?

Now men may not be men, and no one may be Christian, according to them.

[I want the USA back]

Another once-great American institution destroyed by the left.

The war against our sons continues....

I was in the BSA in the 50’s. We were led at that time by several WW2 vets. They were tough on us discipline-wise, but it paid off on those weekend camping trips where we had to hike in with everything on our backs. Real shame that the feminists and pedos have killed such a character-building organization. The country needs the BSA now more than ever.

If it happened 50 years ago and you didn’t collect hard evidence (DNA samples)...shut up!

One of the best known equestrians - 81 year old George Morris - has been given a lifetime ban from the sport he’s been in for 70+ years based on a private organization’s private investigation into accusations from 50 years ago:

“In a statement reported by The New York Times, U.S. Equestrian spokeswoman Sonja Keating, said, “The Center investigated the allegations against Morris, found them credible, issued their ruling, and banned Morris for life.”

Morris has filed an appeal to the ban and, in a bulk email, denied the allegations, which purportedly date back four decades:

“I am deeply troubled by the U.S. Center for SafeSport’s findings regarding unsubstantiated charges for events that allegedly occurred between 1968 and 1972. I contest these findings wholeheartedly and am in the process of disputing them...”

...There is no statute of limitation on SafeSport claims, nor any public record that details the specific nature of the claims. A previous statement by the Center addressed this point:

“The Center does not have a statute of limitations, as we disagree with those who seek to invalidate abuse that occurred many years ago. To change the culture of sport, individuals must be held accountable for their behavior, regardless of how long ago it occurred. The Center recognizes just how difficult it is for victims of sexual abuse to come forward, no matter the circumstances; the trauma of abuse is bad enough, which is why the Center works so hard to protect their privacy, allowing them to speak on their own terms, when and if they so choose.”

When government schools become a target, we'll know.

Until then …
