Thousands of victims: sexual abuse among the Boy Scouts of the USA

It is one of the largest abuse scandals in America. Tens of thousands of Boy Scouts were sexually abused. Now a wave of lawsuits is moving toward the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) organization. More than 80,000 victims are demanding compensation. Because the BSA knew their group leaders were picking on young children, as the BSA itself admits. But instead of reporting this to the police, the BSA tried to cover up the abuse and resolved the matter internally. During decades!

The victims continue to suffer today. You have mental health problems, you drink too much alcohol. Since then, the BSA has apologized for the years of abuse. One was “devastated,” said the BSA, as the “BBC” reports. But shortly after, the Boy Scout Association went bankrupt, ostensibly to save its own fortune and not have to pay the victims a penny.
