This world is already done for
And what about criminal prosecution for the molesters/rapists!? Stop protecting predators
850 million/60, 000 means each victim gets approximately $14,167 . This doesn't seem like a fair settlement.
Not good enough, not even close.
The sin of sodomy.
That’s an average of about $14,000/ person. WTH?!
Yikes. Both for a suing little boys, and for having a Billion dollars! How the fuck you make that much money and don’t sell any cookies?
how about get rid of this org?
60 MF’n THOUSAND. We’re they in cahoots with the Catholic Church?
60 fucking thousand men? So, Americans are seeking out pedophilia rings in basements of pizza parlors that don't have basements, but the Boy Scouts of America is acknowledging that it's adult members molested 60 fucking thousand children!?!?!? JFC
No damn it, dissolution and every single asset sold and then given to the victims, ALL OF IT. This entire org is poisoned, for all the good it’s done the bad laps it many times over. It’s got to go
You’re next, USCCB !
Not enough for the lifetime of suffering
God and Country
Ummm did I do the math wrong? Is it really $14k per person who’s life was derailed by a group of predatory men? That doesn’t sound like appropriate restitution.
GTFOH more than 60,000 men who sued the iconic institution over alleged sexual abuse by adults in scouting over several decades
If you think sending your kid to any type of organization will be good for them, you’re a lazy parent who lacks parenting skills, invest time and activities in your kids.
How does the $ get divided?
An awful lot of money sittiing in reserve Looking like church
That’s just reported cases. That number is probably 100,000 if not higher.
I was in scouting as a kid and was fortunate enough not to have witnessed or been victimized by this kind of abuse.
By the time Atty Fees & Administrative Costs of Suit are deducted...it's closer to a nickel ninety five per kid who joined the class action. Who is going to Jail..? Like Priests... BSA Leaders don't do jail time.
60,000 Sounds like a lot. I just wonder how many the Catholic Church have abused.
Luckily I was never molested but even in the 1970,s kids talked of rumors of the the troop leader inviting a “ special “ kid into his tent .....
Where is the heavy prison time for the child molesters?
That's some bullshit. That means about 10k per person. For being raped as children. This whole org needs to pay 100 times more than that.
Are they starting a savings account for the next suit?
where are the charges for the adults?
Mannn
It's a shame. I was in the BSA, I had a good time and met some great people. It is my hope that the organization can put itself back together and once again become a safe place for boys and girls to learn and grow.
$14,166.67 per person.
SIXTY THOUSAND?! That’s just proof of the insanity that hides in humanity.
I was in Boy Scouts for 7 years, never got molested, learned some valuable camping skills I use to this day. I think I lucked out.
600,000 is a lot
Hmmm. Sounds familiar. 🤔
BillCosby is laughing his ass off calling Boy Scouts Of America losers look at me I got away with it
Catholic Church has competition, fucking disgusting.
Being a kid and saying no a few too many times. Sad the Boy Scouts have to become tainted by sex offenders. My experiences were not in the boy scouts.
What about jail time?
So I guess sexual abuse goes to the rate of about $14k/case... you learn something new everyday...
60,000 victims, and an untold number more we'll never know about. What is it that makes men think their own sexual desires take priority over the mental health, physical safety, and even the lives of others? It's not every man, but it is SO MANY men.
It’s absolutely fucking wild that sexual abuse cases are resolved as de facto class actions suits
The Boy Scouts of American has $850 million?
Do we need any more proof that humans are animals?
So, how much will ldsofficial be paying? Every ward had a troop for decades.
The settlement amount seems low.
So many Pedro's out there. Can we just remove em?
Smorgan135
Boy Scouts of Germany. Hitler Youth. Boy Scouts of America. ?
So many hurt ,Physically and emotionally. A lifetime of attempting to heal. $$$ can’t repair this damage.
I, for one, am shocked that an organization with men in short shorts spending multiple nights in remote areas with boys in tents would be a den of creeps and weirdos.
But I worked so hard to earn my penis badge.
Who would have thought such problems could beset an organization that teaches kids how to generate fire by.. rubbing 2 sticks together - Boy Scouts of America reaches a $850M settlement w/60K men who sued over alleged sexual abuse by adult scout leaders
So fucked up
This makes me sick to my stomach. Between this and the Catholic Church, I feel we have crisis with mental health with our men.
And uh why are Americans continuing to support the organization?
