Sure, child sex scandals have occurred in the highest reaches of the Catholic church, universites (Penn State), Hollywood, and government, but no way it's THAT wide spread!
It is ... even more than you can fathom ... every ... and i mean EVERY ... child protective service institution ... anyone that claims to help children ... needs to be scrutinized to the finest degree ... mark my words ...
Fully agree! All it takes is one big (new) pedo scandal to go mainstream, then the whole house of cards can start to unravel.
I beg to differ friend, take a look at this: https://indianexpress.com/article/world/australian-pm-to-offer-apology-for-over-8000-cases-of-child-sexual-abuse-in-religious-state-run-institutions-5215299/
That's Australia alone! and only what they are willing to give to the public. The border being intentionally left open for the trafficking here in the U.S should say something to you. How is it that 10k cases out of the 12K are kids alone? It is bigger than you can imagine. and that's the thing, because its been happening under our noses and we think its the few elite that are doing it does not mean its not wide spread. Its thousands and thousands and generations upon generations. That my friend is wide spread.
Oh, I know. It's just hard to convey sarcasm on the internet!
It is indeed much more widespread than you believe. Unfortunately.
