Last week we all watched the Fifth Estate do an expose on the Boy Scouts of America and Canada.
So when is enough - enough?
When do we start protecting the children and not the perpetrators of child abuse?
How many human beings must we sacrifice for religious and social organizations while attracting and then protecting even more pedophiles?
What does it take?
The Fifth Estate reporter could not even get straight answers from the current CEO of Scouts Canada - further exasperating these worst of crimes.
Now we are going to witness victims of these horrific deeds of twisted men - hide them in order that they may speak of what happened to them.
There is absolutely no way that any victim should have to sign papers saying they will never speak if they accept a monetary settlement. Then again why would the Boy Scouts of Canada or the USA ever require victims to do this?
Why would the churches require the same thing?
Are we now so desensitized that these continued abuses of children are not worth fighting to stop?
These organizations should be charged with crimes against humanity. I am serious! What crime could be worse and how many victims would make them qualify?
Here's the deal, many leaders of organizations religious and others have been raping children for decades. The response has been to protect and hide the perpetrators - let them loose to abuse even more children, force the victims into silence, and then forget about them as they continue to attract more children and pedophiles.
Today the talk shows should be blocked with people demanding the truth - demanding that this stop and promising to stop financially and otherwise supporting organizations that allow the perpetual abuse of children.
What is wrong with us? We think we are civilized? The Prime Minister of Canada concentrates on a long-gun registry while pedophiles are being protected by the "moral" groups.
Politicians routinely lie these days and that is so successful we elect them to be Prime Ministers and Premiers.
Just think about the message we are transmitting. These corporate crooks that essentially bankrupt countries were kept on and given a raise - while people lost their jobs, homes, and families.
Right now I would like to hear MHA Steve Kent answer the questions for the Fifth Estate. As the
Chair of the Board & Chief Commissioner for that organization - I want to know where he stands on giving the public the information it wants.
Enough is enough and we have far exceeded the tolerance we should have shown. We condemn somebody for shoplifting or selling some weed. We condemn those who have incorrectly placed a fence post on our property. We condemn children who spray paint property. We condemn children who break a window or two.
Makes you wonder really - what have we become?

Sue I remember when everyone thought Steve Kent would be a great asset for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians, but he turned out to be no different than any of the other politicians that we have elected, he toes the line harder than any of them for what Ottawa and the Premier wants, isn't it sad that the "me sydrome' always kicks in when the politicians we elect are put to the test of having to choose between what is best for themselves and what is right for province in general.
