Physically impossible or downright uncomfortable to say the least!

Retires to search somewhat more arcane corners of the Interweb.

The image of Shel and the reverse cowboy pretty much quashed it for me.

From the Washington Post of 18 April 2010:
Quote:
Five myths about the Catholic sexual abuse scandal
An extensive 2007 investigation by the Associated Press showed that sexual abuse of children in U.S. schools was "widespread," and most of it was never reported or punished. And in Portland, Ore., last week, a jury reached a $1.4 million verdict against the Boy Scouts of America in a trial that showed that since the 1920s, Scouts officials kept "perversion files" on suspected abusers but kept them secret. ...

Part of the issue is that the Catholic Church is so tightly organized and keeps such meticulous records -- many of which have come to light voluntarily or through court orders -- that it can yield a fairly reliable portrait of its personnel and abuse over the decades. Other institutions, and most other religions, are more decentralized and harder to analyze or prosecute. ...

A 2007 Pew survey of the religious landscape in America found that among Catholics who had left the church, the abuse crisis ranked low on the list of reasons -- well behind church teachings on homosexuality, the role of women, abortion and contraception. And a 2008 poll ... showed that even the bishops had enjoyed a rebound in approval, with satisfaction with the hierarchy growing from 58 percent in 2004 to 72 percent in 2008.

Maybe because some of the dissatisfied have left the church.

Beebe Medical Center heard allegations about Dr. Earl Bradley 14 years ago
Facing 18 lawsuits in case, hospital could go into bankruptcy

Quote:
After four months of revealing little of what they knew about pediatrician Earl B. Bradley, accused of sexually abusing patients for years, administrators at Beebe Medical Center now say they investigated a 1996 report that he inappropriately touched young girls.

Hospital officials cleared Bradley of misconduct after reviewing the complaint by a nurse who worked with Bradley at his Beebe office.

The incident was never reported to Delaware's medical disciplinary board. Police and prosecutors did not learn about the hospital's investigation of Bradley until after they charged him recently with rape and sexual abuse of 103 patients during examinations or visits to an outbuilding at his office near Lewes.

The admission of the 1996 investigation comes as the hospital prepares to defend itself against at least 18 lawsuits from families of Bradley's alleged victims. Beebe officials said they fear the lawsuits could force the hospital into bankruptcy.

The disclosures are a turnabout from the hospital's posture just a few days after Bradley's Dec. 16 arrest, when officials at Beebe said they had no inkling of any past problems with Bradley. Since then, Beebe officials have acknowledged withholding facts that they have gradually released. During a two-hour interview in the Lewes office of the hospital's CEO, the clearest picture yet has emerged of Bradley's relationship with Beebe, where he worked in various capacities from 1994 until being locked up in December.

Sitting at a table in his office, Beebe CEO Jeffrey M. Fried told The News Journal that hospital officials did not inform Milford police in 2005 that the hospital had investigated the way Bradley kissed and touched girls he treated in 1996.

In 2005, Milford police also were investigating complaints Bradley offensively kissed and touched young girls, but Beebe officials kept quiet, despite receiving a subpoena in the Milford case seeking any complaints and disciplinary actions against Bradley.

At what cost? Was this part of the decision that was made not to report this A-hole?

When a nurse complains about a Doctor, she better have a good case with corroborating witnesses or evidence. If not, they'll clear the Doctor, because they have no way of knowing her motivation. Not the least of which is Doctors (caution, broad brush) tend to be self-centered/condescending when it comes to the help.

You know, I was thinking... the righteous indignation about children I see today, either didn't exist or was at least much less apparent years ago. I mean on a community/national level. These days you can't look at a kid sideways without a lynch mob forming. Whereas years ago, if the kid wasn't physically injured, people not immediately involved would be more like, tsk tsk, that's a shame, what's for supper? The emotional well being of other peoples kids, and sometimes their own, was not a big concern. Maybe that's why the Catholic Church was so successful at covering up these incidents.
