Child Abuse Statistics
I am not familiar with that statistic, but testosterone related urges probably account for it!

I don't follow you. Testosterone makes straight men molest boys rather than girls?

Testosterone is a hormone that can cause rage like behavior, both sexual and non - sexual in not only humans, but in other mammals as well. . . . . .take a look at a bull elephant in "must", for instance.

Very politically correct. Females and gays want to invade in almost every space and arena dominated by straight males.

My attempt at a point, which seems to be lost on the gay people here, is that most parents should not and will not put their children in a situation of risk with an adult who is attracted to the child's gender.
And yet you almost never hear about molestation cases in the girl scouts, which allows male, and female, leaders regardless of sexual orientation.

I wonder why that is?

Women, whether gay or straight are rarely molesters. It happens but it is news when it does. Men are never allowed alone with girls and would be watched closely in the GS, but in the BS the gay adult men would have free rein to practice their depravity unless some method of identifying them - like having to wear pink wristbands were implemented.

Your ridiculous generalizations aside, there are very strict codes of conduct that if not followed result in adult leaders being terminated. Adult leaders are never alone with boy scouts, never. This has nothing to do with the sexual orientation of the scout leader, and everything to do with implementing rules that provide the safest environment for children. Call it lessons learned from past experiences in the BSA (to refresh your memory, the rampant sexual abuse of boy scouts by heterosexual, married men).

Posts like this reinforce that the people squealing loudest about the latest ruling are not involved in the BSA, or else they would know these things.

Fair enough. But how can you ensure that you do not have two gay guys, one supposedly watching the other, alone with the kids? What parent wants to expose their boy to that kind of risk?

Instead, about one quarter of molestation victims are boys. It is claimed that this is because many "straight" pedophiles have no preference in victims and go after boys as well as girls. Is this true? I would like to see the evidence that supports this claim.
