" . . . because the victims [of Boy Scout leaders] are so numerous, the $850 million will amount to between three and five thousand dollars per victim, the equivalent to a month and a half's earnings at minimum wage, a proverbial drop in the bucket. Undoubtedly, the settlement will feel like a slap in the face to those children, many of whom are now adults, who have lost their innocence to predators and the organization which allegedly protected such pedophiles."

[Such vague reporting is problematic. The headline says approximately 60,000 victims. Yea, that's a helluva lot. But when I divide 850 million by the average $4000 payout per victim, I get well over 200,000 victims. I wonder what the real numbers of victims are? Or maybe the per victim payout number is in error?]
[And I wonder how many Boy Scout leaders have been identified as pedophiles. This article avoids that topic. And how many are a handful that went to prison? And how long are their sentences?]
[The article is so vague it is difficult to know, but I doubt justice has been served. Maybe a court will change that.]
