[Vision2020] Pastor Arrested

[Art Deco]

Andreas,

It is just not a "tar and feather" of Wilson, his boarding system, and the 
exposure it creates.  A careful reader would see the post as an indictment 
of the whole system of preventing and handling child sexual abuse including 
those who hide behind victims' suffering for their points of view.

There is no doubt the victims of these terrible crimes do suffer and 
sometimes horribly for their entire life.  Their families suffer and others 
with whom they relate do also.  However, this is not a reason to sweep the 
subject, the perpetrators, and their various enablers out of sight.  Not 
talking about these crimes and not doing the our best to prevent them, 
including naming the criminal, the enablers, and those in the criminal 
justice system and media who apparently do not really understand the horror 
will lead to many more victims and much more suffering.  Those that hide 
behind the young victims using them to stifle comment about and awareness of 
these unnecessary, tragic crimes are the ones who are really "using" the 
victims, and poorly.

If you glad of the outcome in the Sitler case and the way law enforcement 
and the press handled it, just say so and praise those that helped either by 
direct action, inaction, cronyism, personal ambition, or incompetence to 
bring about that outcome.  For myself, I think the outcome stinks, and I'll 
be saying so (I have a large supply of tar and feathers) and doing other 
things until that situation is corrected and policies are put into place so 
that the probability of something like that happening again is decreased.
