And those groups still have lower rates of abuse than Schools which do a lot less training and enforcement of youth protection policies.

Children are still safer in Scouts and churches than in schools.

Just about every kid goes to school though, so people just prefer to sweep that under the rug and focus on targeting organizations they are not a part of or disagree with because they're easier to demonize and make fun of.

I work with kids, and I've had to take the Scouts and Catholic Church's youth protection training. They are both free to take online if anyone wants to check it out.
