As with the Catholic church, it's not about the crime, it's about the cover-up. Or rather, it's about how the cover-up allowed the crime to continue. As I understand it, the rate of pedophiliacs among Catholic priests is not significantly higher than in the general community, and I suspect we'll find the same thing is true about the Boy Scouts. I also suspect we won't find that it's significantly lower.

I hope I'm communicating my point here well enough. I do not want to deny the significance of the original crime. It's just that I don't hold the organizations themselves responsible for the original crime. I do hold them responsible for any subsequent crimes that could've been stopped if they hadn't been trying to protect their own.
