I honestly cannot think of a case where a teacher has had 20+ complaints against them and have them transferred to another school. If it happened, I haven’t heard of it.

This isn’t about gay priests or teachers or scoutmasters. There have been gays in ALL of those positions since the beginning of time. It’s about predatory actions that are repeated, covered up, and ot prosecuted.

But, we are not going to settle this today.

In closing, let me toss another spin on this: Back in the day there was a guy working at our Scout council. He was creepy. The Dads got together and went to the council leadership AND the guy and laid out how it was going to go.

In today’s world, there are very few dads willing to step up and take control. There are few Dads around to put their foot down about letting these pervs around our children.

When this stuff happens these days I have to imagine there is a generation of Dadless kids out there without the protection we had. They are targets.

I was in the Scouts in the early 60s.

There were 3 assistant scoutmasters that were molesting boys.

Originally we weren't sure exactly what was going on but eventually we figured it out.

At that time such things weren't talked about so we weren't prepared to understand it or even tell our parents.

Eventually parents suspected something was up and most kids were pulled out of the troop but I'm pretty sure nothing was ever done about it.

You are so right about the absent fathers.
