No, I'm not missing anything..but I think it's a matter of major miscommunication based on the fact that you believe I have a bias towards the parents personally. I wasn't referring to the van dam's religious nature, training etc.. I was referring to the fact that parents whose kids were victimized by the pedophile priests were betrayed, their faith in that particular situation was undermined. IE: I have faith that my kids teachers will not become abusive. If they do, steps would be taken. If they do, they betrayed my trust and undermined my faith. Some parents have lost COMPLETELY FAITH in the public school system so they remove their kids and put them in private schools or homeschool them. That is the kind of faith I was referring to.

Well, there is one point on which I agree. But we are talking apples and oranges about faith and the van Dams. They either had total faith in their alarm system, safe neighborhood, non-barking dog, Barbara or they just never gave it a thought. I think that the consumption of booze, drugs, sex, etc. so completely perverted their lives that they just didn't think enough about their children. And, if they had been thinking of their children at all they would not have had shady characters in their house at all hours of the night and living such a shallow and seedy lifestyle.
