NP here. For similar reasons, the Boy Scouts of America's sexual exploitation training was more rigorous than the training I did for a DMV public school system. The training models aren't rocket science but they're still important. They exist to create a culture of accountability that goes beyond background checks. |
Nice. You realize how obnoxious that is to make that assumption and then to actually write it? |
Anyone understand why the hearing was postponed today? Court decision? |
I thought the same thing. She’s basically equating gay people with child molestors. Horrible. |
Curious how these trainings might have applied in this case? Whether it's the Boy Scouts or the Catholic schools training, what would people have been trained to recognize that would have outed Carroll sooner? |
I didn't read it that way. His sexual exploit interests involve boys only. |
Around 200K. |

Nothing. Period. |
Exactly, these trainings are to prevent in-person abuse. No training is going to help people read other people's private thoughts (or know their private behavior). |
Im the poster you’re responding too and you just made a fair point |
He WAS a gay man. His username on Discord literally included “London Gay”. |
Exactly. These idiots didn't read any of the fbi sting in which he clearly stated he prefers boys. All this evil and these people are worried about being PC... |
(DP) It's a lot of things all rolled into one. Communal awareness of behaviors, creating a culture of speaking up when something seems off (even if it is a mild breach of protocol you are thanked for noticing and speaking up), kids who understand boundaries, parents who recognize risks, schools that follow policies designed to protect no matter what or who thinks the rules don't apply to them. Getting the training year after year makes it second nature. Read some of the links -- it is comprehensive and not just a policy no one ever reads in an on line handbook like lots of local schools might have (or not even). PP jokes about Catholic schools, and maybe doesn't realize that the more recent headlines are about things that happened before the peak lawsuits in the 80s, which triggered these programs and reforms, which lead to uncovering more of the past abuses and publicity lead to more adult victims and families coming forward. Mandatory reporting to civil authorities have been in place since the 80s. So Catholic communities now have almost 50 years of experience trying to make sure the past doesn't repeat itself, continuing to encourage victims to come forward, refining the programs frequently. Those families and communities were traumatized when cases became known, much as yours is now. They turned their trauma into action to create safer environments for their communities. It's a good program, worth looking into. |
Maybe that is the source of your confusion. Not in federal court. Again, look at Hoppe case. |
