Unanswered Questions to an Attorney

Now that we are at the brink of knowing what this proposed restructuring plan might look like, is there an appropriate time to ensure the issues of the victims are addressed properly, in a legal methodology in which to get issues on record for an appeal? Are appeals a thing in Bankruptcy Court?

1. Would the BSA be willing to refer us Victims to get any type of treatment for PTSD, of which, many of us suffer from, as well as addictions, in order to heal from the impact of reporting these abuses, not to mention the impact of the abuse itself?
   1. What is the BSA doing to ensure that their creditors, of which I am one, are getting the proper access to mental health treatment that comes along with reporting sexual trauma from 30 years ago, at the hands of a leader in the Boy Scouts of America?
2. Has anything come up from the BSA of “how are we, the Victims doing in life?”
   1. Does the answer have anything to do with any form of claim validation?
      If the claimant has shown typical symptoms of childhood sexual abuse, does that merit any more, or less validation, in the claim verification process?
3. Does your firm offer or recommend that we Victims reach out to case specific counselors that are mandatory reporters?
4. What is the amount of abusers who are or have been, Active Duty Military?
   1. Has the court even mentioned Department of Defense, Active Duty Military (Guam being a highly active relocation station for predators) liability?
      If there is any reason to get around qualified immunity, child rape should be it.
   2. On the current list of known offenders, how many of them were ever Active Duty Military?
   3. If Active Duty Military were they also scout leaders or just volunteers?
   4. How many Active Duty Military were volunteers on and off the IV list?
   5. (Active Duty Military do not have to register as sex offenders in 99% of the jurisdictions they are convicted in in the time frame of the perversion files.)
      1. “Prior to 2015, no provision of federal law (since the passage of SORNA) generally enabled or permitted federal authorities to register sex offenders such that the information from those registrations would be submitted to any national database. However, in 2015, Congress amended SORNA to require the Department of Defense (DoD) to provide information to NSOR and NSOPW on any sex offender who is adjudged by courts-martial or released from a military cor-rections facility.1 In 2016, DoD issued an instruction establishing policies for the “identification, notification, monitoring and tracking of DoD-affiliated personnel” who are registered sex offend-ers.2”

      2. https://www.sapr.mil/sites/default/files/1_Department_of_Defense_Fiscal_Year_2019_Annual_Report_on_Sexual_Assault_in_the_Military.pdf
      3. “Of the 6,769 reports of sexual assault in fiscal 2017, 5,864 involved service member victims. The remaining 905 reports involved 868 victims who were U.S. civilians or foreign nationals and 37 victims for whom status data were not available, according to the report.” https://www.defense.gov/Explore/News/Article/Article/1508127/dod-releases-annual-report-on-sexual-assault-in-military
5. In this Bankruptcy case, has it come up, as to how culpable is the BSA, at the National, State, and Regional Council’s level, in knowing claims against staff,  volunteers, and members, and not reporting it to other members or proper authorities?
   1. Records in this Bankruptcy indicate it was mandatory for local counsels to turn over any and all reports of sexual assaults against youth to National Boy Scout hierarchy.
   2. Which agency qualifies as the proper authorities?
   3. Was any Federal Agency notified?
   4. Who would Boy Scouts report this to other than local law enforcement? and is there a record of that presented in this Bankruptcy?
6. Where there multiple offenders who were allowed to move across the country due to a lack of tracking that type of thing during that time frame?
7. Did those offenders have children who also offended?
8. How many meeting minutes that the BSA have been focused on recruitment, vs. reporting sex offenders |
   1. training staff and youth to be aware of predatory behavior
   2. examining records for proof of claims to ensure there are proper reporting methods in place?
9. I also wanted to know if the victims have access to the BSA and Attorney’s, Risk Management Software database, or exact copy of their RMS?
   (I have seen motions where insurance companies have entered specific cases into their RMS, there for, we should have access to that data.)
10. Do the Victims have access to the transcripts of the trial that we have missed due to no internet and not being able to appear in person?
11. There seems to be an omission from the records about the BSA knowing that there was a severe predatory issue in the 1980-90’s. So much so that the BSA was the topic of possible predatory behavior report in 1992 by Lannin.
    1992 Lannin Predatory Behavior Report
    https://www.ojp.gov/pdffiles1/Digitization/149252NCJRS.pdf
12. Did the FBI, or any other agency contact the BSA in regards to this report in 1992, or prior to?
13. How did this author Lannin, obtain the information about Scouts, contained here in, if he did not contact the BSA?
14. If this information was known to the author, authorized by the FBI, and published to LEO personnel, which agencies contacted the BSA about capturing predators?
15. If no coordination took place, why not?
16. If coordination took place, what was the results of any investigations?
17. What insurance companies were aware of this report, or subsequent investigations and what was their legal advice to the BSA on reporting on said findings?
18. 
    It would seem that there was a shift in predatory behavior according to this data provided by the BSA in their filings.
    It was around this time that a coordinated effort was made by insurance companies where they lobbied to cap settlements at the county level, all the way up to the Supreme Court of the US. Think about the implications of large corporations having such an influence in the halls of Justice.
    I understand what I am asking, and I want to know what type of instructions were given to the BSA by insurance company counsel, at any given point in the history of the BSA. I say subpoena any relevant communication by the BSA to the insurers, and from insurers to the BSA, including any depositions of victims by Law Enforcement, and settlements provided.
    My suspicion is that from the 80’s on, the reason the claims mentioned above do not show many claims, is because they have already been settled. The chart provided by the BSA is misleading, as they could keep already settled claims out of this chart, or reported claims over all.
19. What has the court decided about the validation process in making sure claims are filed by actual victims?
    Also what is being done to protect innocent scout leaders from false accusations?
20. I feel my case is a perfect example of how this plan can be dissected. I was young when it started, (Abuser) was a leader, in the instance that older boys are used to teach younger ones, and age, is at play under law, but the leaders actions, no matter their age, harmed younger scouts. My leader groomed me into silence, and that is what we are dealing with, on a whole, from BSA.

    I love my honorable time in Boy Scouts, and if it is not dissolved, the BSA as a group, then we former scouts have a duty to be involved in protecting new scouts, especially girls.

    If BSA can spend money on new recruitment, then we should be seeing protective education, and I don’t see that.

21. What tier is my case in, with the present reorganization plan?
22. Is (Any Religious Organization) involved in my particular case?
