Boy Scouts Helped Alleged Molesters Cover Tracks for Decades
September 17th, 2012Via: Los Angeles Times:
Over two decades, the Boy Scouts of America failed to report hundreds of alleged child molesters to police and often hid the allegations from parents and the public.
A Los Angeles Times review of 1,600 confidential files dating from 1970 to 1991 has found that Scouting officials frequently urged admitted offenders to quietly resign — and helped many cover their tracks.
Volunteers and employees suspected of abuse were allowed to leave citing bogus reasons such as business demands, “chronic brain dysfunction” and duties at a Shakespeare festival.
The details are contained in the organization’s confidential “perversion files,” a blacklist of alleged molesters, that the Scouts have used internally since 1919. Scouts’ lawyers around the country have been fighting in court to keep the files from public view.
Oh gawd/god what the heck”

Pervesion files. Excuse me, did this nimrod organization just pat itself on the back for banning gays in 2012. I think so. And since since 1919? hiding perverts? My father, fer Christ’s sake was born in 1910,
And now we learn that “Scouts’ lawyers around the country have been fighting in court to keep the files from public view.” U think it is high time LAWYERS SHOULD BE DISBARRED FROM HIDING CRIMES VISA VIE PERVERTS RE CHILDREN.”
A CAPITAL CRIME. NO TIME SPARED. DO NOT PASS GO. GO TO JAIL.
That should be a new law. Period. I’m tired hearing of the Vatican, the Catholic Church, and now the Boy Scout Lawyer’s making ONE FREAKING SINGLE DIME OFF OF CHILD ABUSERS. These lawyer’s BELONG IN THE SAME PENITENTIARY AS THEIR SO CALLED CLIENTS. SHAME ON YOU SO CALLED LAWYERS. SHAME, AND KISS MY ASS YOU MORONS.
