Who is "blaming the victim"? I haven't heard one person blame the
children.
The parents aren't the victim. They in fact may be accessories to the
crime through their negligence. Right now they are hiding behind the
shield laws while their lawyers do their best to try this case in
public. The first article I was pointed to, last week, was a very
biased, one-sided "news" article that appears to have been written by
the law firm.
If the law firm, under the control of these parents, is going to do
this, then it is fair for the organization or the people in it, to
react and question why they are being accused of causing this crime.
If, has been alluded to, the parents did bring their concerns to the
SCA officers, and there was sufficient evidence to back their
comments up, and the SCA didn't investigate it, then we have done
wrong and need to improve our procedures and attitude.
