You mean priests, coaches, teachers and other adults in positions of authority didn't abuse children 50 years ago? Based on some of the accusations stemming from things like the boarding schools native kids were shipped off to, I have a hard time crediting that idea as fact.
The thing that has changed in the last 50 years is awareness. Technology has spread information at a rate that was inconceivable 50 years ago. We no longer live in blissful ignorance of the monsters that DO exist outside our doors. If you can claim that such ignorance of real threats is better, then I call you a fool.
You're quite right in that aspect, Wulfie. I was referring mainly to the surveillance necessary today to monitor these bastards. BAck in '59 a lot of them probably just got quietly dropped down an abandoned well, but obviously not enough of them. :lol::lol::lol::lol:
