Ask any elderly person what the big deal is if a kid gets touched; most don’t understand it at all.
this is another bogus lie. Many elderly (whatever that means) will feign ignorance if you are referring to events that involved their peers, institutions or communities.
Many “elderly” will tell you that they just were ignorant of the warning signs and couldn’t believe the truth, especially because the victims were too petrified to spell it out in full.
Many other elderly who were actively involved in doing the sweeping were in panic mode hoping it would go away.
I have yet to hear anyone in real life say something so ignorant.
I will say though, that it 10-20 years, the 2 or 3 posters here who have said such moronic things will be elderly and may still be saying it.
