Secret Boy Scout files document flawed history of child-protection in Oregon By The Oregonian May 22, 2010 By LES ZAITZ and NICOLE DUNGCA When a parent heard that William E. Tobiassen, a longtime Scout leader in Corvallis, was sexually abusing one of his troop members, she alerted Scout officials. Nothing changed. For two more years, Tobiassen, an insurance agent with sons of his own, abused the boy. The abuse was exposed only when the teenager told a counselor and then police what had happened. Even then, internal memos show, the Scouts executive overseeing Tobiassen didn't want to ban him from Scouting until there were formal charges. The episode from 1984 wasn't the only instance when Oregon Scout leaders failed to act on trouble in their ranks. Secret files obtained by The Oregonian from 1971 to 1991 contain no record that Scout leaders alerted authorities to adults suspected of child abuse in at least 11 instances in Oregon....A Portland jury recently concluded otherwise. In that case, jurors considered 1,000 confidential Scout files from 1965 to 1985 to judge the Scouts' liability. Only once before in the country has a jury seen such files, but never before in the volume or unrestricted form provided Portland jurors. The jury subsequently awarded Kerry Lewis $18.5 million to punish the Scouts for abuse he suffered at the hands of a Scout leader. But the award also was meant to jolt the Scouts. "We were trying to send a message," said Margaret Ormsbee, one of the jurors. "It seemed to most of us they were putting their PR and reputation above children's safety." _http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2010/05/secret_boy_scout_files_documen.html_ (http://www.oregonl ive.com/news/index.ssf/2010/05/secret_boy_scout_files_documen.html) Cries From the Past: Torture's Ugly Echoes Sunday 23 May 2010 by: H.P.
