That is the kind of attitudes I am talking about. I am referring to adults here though who witnessed such incidents, and could have done something, but chose to do nothing. It may have well been the case that any such allegations made may have been dismissed if reported, but at least an attempt had been made to do so.

It is of course possible that we will hear about such cases where people had tried to alert the authorities and their reports were not taken seriously or covered up, but I am airing my views about what we know so far and the facts in hand, and that is all I can comment upon.

Again I realise that people thought their complaints may not be taken seriously, and so did nothing, but this is now on such a big scale it seems incomprehensible that nothing was done with regards to protecting these minors from such predators.
