Was the abuse cases of male homosexuals assaulting young boys? That was exactly what was predicted if they dropped the ban on homosexuals in the BSA.
No, the abuse cases have been ongoing for years.
The BSA attracted pedophiles who became leaders long before the change in policy. The result was the development and implementation of the BSA Youth Protection Training program that every registered adult must pass to be registered. BSA requires two deep action when dealing with boys. That is, when contact with boys is conducted, ter must alway be two leaders indirect involvement.
The BSA is an easy target for disgruntled parents and disreputable lawyers to garner large judgements.
If lawyers attacked churches and youth sports for pedophile action in the same manner as BSA there would be howls of public anguish. The jocks are not attacked because they have no money.
