I've been wondering lately why it is that there seems to be so much more pedophila out there. Especially with the college football case. I just don't expect a football coach to be a pedophile. Then you have the whole Catholic priest thing, and stories about karate-teacher-molesters, etc.
If I had a kid I don't know what I'd do. I'd be afraid to hand them over to supervision by another adult. Why are there so many pedos now, or is it just that they are coming to light now, where in the past it was covered up?

Phenomena like this just doesn't happen one year and disappear the next. We can draw two conclusions from this: either our society has a far far bigger problem with pedophilia than we realize, or this is the media overhyping a situation because of Penn State. My thoughts are that it's media hype, I remember after 9/11, the media and the government were talking about that there's a terrorist hiding behind every park bench, just waiting to taste American blood. Then we had Catholic priests, then Penn State, then Syracuse, and now this. I think this is part of a media trend. I always emotionally detach myself from the news, and I try to look for trends in the media, since our media is very coordinated, I don't know if people realized that.
I think this is part of a media campaign that's part of the DHS "See Something, Say Something" campaign, designed to make people not trust anybody and to withdraw themselves, making the sheeple easier to control and to force submission from. That's my take.

I think it is a bigger problem than we realize AND the media is hyping it because it's big right now in the American psyche due to recent, more notorious incidents (which helps sell more morning papers).

That. And this:

I agree to an extent, but I'm always naturally skeptical when it comes to the morning papers and the TV news, because they inflate a lot of situations much bigger than they really are, and most people know that. The only question we can ask is, what changed from 1950 to 2011 that this is all coming out now, and not back then? Did the problem also exist back then, but just like bad marriages in the 1950s, it was swept under the rug and remained unacknowledged?

That's my question too. Like I stated above to MIKEETC, was it like bad marriages in the 1950s where no one would dare get a divorce and just suck it up, until easy divorce laws came about and divorce rates exploded?
