UNITED STATES
The Worthy Adversary
Posted by Joelle Casteix on October 26, 2012
What if Pablo Escobar had hosted a symposium on Drug Trade Gangland Violence Prevention?
No matter what well-respected, hard-working experts he invited, the symposium wouldn’t have stopped the continued promulgation of violence in the Columbian Drug Cartel.
Later this month, Penn State will be hosting a symposium on child sexual abuse and prevention. Their list of partners is very impressive.
The Boy Scouts of America will also be hosting a symposium in November in Atlanta.
Sounds similar, don’t you think?
At least they are doing something, I hear many of you say. But that’s the problem: Right now, that ALL they are doing.
The Boy Scouts and Penn State did not voluntarily go to the cops and say, “We have a problem.” The Scouts were sued by hundreds of victims who were aching after decades of abuse and cover-up. Penn State was exposed because of the bravery of Jerry Sandusky’s victims, who bucked the Happy Valley “code of silence” and came forward to protect other kids.
