NEW YORK (AP) — Close to 90,000 sexual abuse claims have been filed against the Boy Scouts of America as the Monday deadline arrived for submitting claims in the organization’s bankruptcy case.

The number far exceeds the initial projections of lawyers across the United States who have been signing up clients since the Boy Scouts filed for bankruptcy protection in February in the face of hundreds of lawsuits alleging decades-old sex abuse by Scout leaders.

That is a metric shite ton of kiddie diddlers.

The class action lawyers advertise the hell out of this on late night TV, in between the asbestos and talcum powder commercials. Once in a while they throw in an HIV drug class action just for variety.

One of the commercials says if you were shown pornography you can sue. Sounds like easy money if you were in the scouts.

That’s really sad.

I never did scouts but one of my coworkers’ boys does it. They’ve been trying to talk me into bringing my son. Seems like a great opportunity for my son to get experience outdoors and to meet some likeminded kids his age.

But these allegations are scary. That’s an enormous number.

I really hope Scouts can recover from this. The security is so strict now, safety should be much better.

He said that number doubled after the Boy Scouts, under the supervision of a bankruptcy judge, launched a nationwide advertising campaign on Aug. 31 to notify victims that they had until Nov. 16 to seek compensation.

They spent millions trying to encourage people to come forward,” Van Arsdale said. “Now, the question is whether they can make good on their commitment.”

I wonder how many of those are bullshite claims.

I also wonder how many who were molested and won’t speak up or can’t because it lead them to suicide.

Good.

When I was a kid, it seemed like I had a sense for clubs and/or organizations that are now being accused of sex abuse, etc.

For some reason I always thought there was something weird about alter boys.

I went to Catholic school for 3 years and it just seemed like the kids who wanted to be alter boys for Wednesday mass were strange.. Maybe that's why..

And then the boy scouts. It just seemed like there were just certain types of kids that gravitated to it.

I am not saying everyone who were alter boys or in the boy scouts were weird, I am just saying that I always had weird feelings about those groups

What? 90,000 sexually abused kids in Boy Scouts. How you could even doubt that number?


Totally legit. Has to be. Scout’s Honor Code demands it.

Even if they would have let you join, no one was going to waste a bang on you
