(12,977 posts)The people who do these things are the people who can get away with them. The psychopaths who tend to gravitate towards positions of power. The members of the old boys' club who know any inconvenient evidence will be covered over and hushed up.
The fact that nursery school teachers have been accused of things that weren't true doesn't negate the possibility that those things were being done by those who really had the means, motives, and opportunities.
Those groundless accusations might even be seen as part of the coverup -- an attempt to made the whole subject of organized pedophilia and ritual abuse appear so ludicrous that it gets dropped by all respectable people. (Just as the threads on those subjects that appeared at DU regularly a decade ago were swept out in the wave of reaction against 911 Truthers.)
But this time around, the story seems to have legs. And it's particularly interesting that this latest charge concerns an incident from the 1990s. Previously stories I've seen referred to the late 1970s and early 80ss and involved people who are mostly now dead. Is there any reason to believe it ever stopped?
