I'm no law enforcement professional but I feel like police don't like to work slowly in these situations when said offender is in daily contact with minors. It could go any way but maybe he resigned from BD in October because he thought something was coming up from his past but kept it secret from his current employer. In any event, resigning from BD in October is sort of odd timing with planning for a new season ramping up by that time. I've seen more than a few band/guard people "encouraged" to resign before being terminated. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of times it’s the idea that they won’t get caught, what THEY do isn’t really abuse or the idea that you can get away with it because others will protect the “good name of the organization” by burying Missed a big one: the idea that the abuser thinks they will not be held accountable because they are/were so important to the organization. Just remember Sanduskys smirk that didn’t go away until he was found guilty on about 90% of the charges. To me it looked like “they wouldn’t DARE do anything to me (especially in central PA)”. Of course followed by “oh ####”. Edited January 30, 2023 by JimF-LowBari 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't get it. I don't think I will ever understand how someone could do something so horrible. I've worked in groups that counsel to addicts for almost four years. The two things I've learned that are almost 100% applicable in these cases: 1) something happened to them early in life that formed their critical thinking to accept addictive and/or destructive behavior as acceptable, even necessary; 2) they have become conditioned to believe it's normal and happens to most people. When addicts first learn that the choices they continue to make were set on their course as children or teens, they're initially shocked, but when you start unravelling relationships with parents, teachers, or other influential adults, they see that these were not choices they suddenly started making out of the blue one day. For instance, 80% of men addicted to pornography had a serious issue in their relationship with their father. A 15 year old girl replied to an anonymous school survey that she had been molested/raped by her friend's father while she was having a sleepover with the friend. She went to sleep in the girl's bedroom and woke up in another bedroom. Her comment was devastating... "at least she HAS a dad." That was her takeaway from the experience. The comedian Christopher Titus long ago mentioned that over 50% of families in the US are now considered "dysfunctional." It's closer to 90% now. Shake the family tree even a little and most of us will have some kind of issue fall out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
