We don't? If the SCA doesn't have a culture that is capable of
protecting children, then why aren't there hundreds of lawsuits like
this one? Why did our three children--and all the others I know in
this area--grow up in the SCA *without* being abused or molested?
Is it perfect? Obviously not, or we wouldn't have had this lawsuit,
but I think you're painting the situation with *far* too broad a
brush--like saying that because one fighter doesn't call his blows,
the SCA is nothing but rhinohides.
