O-mama - Opinionated Moms

Twenty years worth of Boy Scout files containing 1,100 reports on troop leaders suspected of molesting have come to light. The confidential “Perversion Files” have been released as evidence in a $14 million law suit. A now 37 year old man is charging his scoutmaster with abuse. The scoutmaster charged in the case has already been convicted three times of sexually abusing boys. The Boy Scouts of America did not warn parents or tell authorities about the incidents.

MOMism: "Be prepared." Yes, that is the motto of the Boy Scouts of America. So, now they are preparing their scout leaders with screening/training and showing the boys videos on what is inappropriate behavior. Moms, if our kids are involved in activities we should be PREPARED to be involved, too. We need to know what is going on and who is leading the charge. We can't let anyone mentor our children and take them on over night trips unless we know them and feel comfortable with them. Also, we need to prepare our kids to confide in us...and be prepared to listen to what they have to say!
