1. What red flags did you see with Turley's behavior? (What should have clued in the parents?)
2. Do you think parents of today (v. parents at the time the abuse occurred) are more educated or savvy in protecting their children from potential predators involved in scouting? Explain your answer.
3. What are some of the reasons the victims give for not reporting their abuse? What happened to the boys who DID report abuse?
4. What are some of the negative impacts experienced by the boys featured in the documentary?
