        why? People in position of power such as clergy, teachers, politicians, celebrities and wealthy in general are always the ones getting caught… after decades of abuse many times.

        Until we admit who are the key groups doing the abuse, nothing will change. If we can’t put clergy in prison for it, our society has not dealt with any of these issues imho. When you have clergy across countries doing it, it sound like a criminal organization.

        Cops any many countries are also notorious for sexual assaults, which are heavily under reported.

          Power corrupts people, even good ones. Especially people with traumas are draw to positions of power, to compansate for their lack of control in early life.

          You see this everywhere, but some examples: Trump: abusive relationship with father Elon musk: Bullied and nearly punched to death in school

            “Power corrupts”, sure, but it doesn’t turn people into nazi and child abuse fanatics. Power provides the means.

              Those kinds of people get attracted to power the most.
