If you knew child abuse happened, wouldn't your first inclination, at that very moment, be to call the police, to call child protective services? To assault or murder the guy on the spot? Why, all of these years later, would you report it in a folk and blues site? It's absurd.

I don't know what happened, if anything happened, but all of these after-the-fact testimonials are too much to be believed. And my eyes cross any time I see another of Gene-Adelphi's posts. I have no idea what he's going on about, but I don't think he does either. And his enabler's have let him run free - someone should have taken away his computer, turned off the router. Mrs. Adelphi, perhaps? There is real vitriol running through this thread - the fact that so many guests who spewed this stuff didn't assign themselves a name and who chose to stay anonymous. There is no moral high ground in nasty anonymity. NONE. IP addresses show these folks are from California, Nevada, Ontario, Illinois, Louisiana, Philadephia, New York, etc.; welcome to Mudcat. I hope you visit under musical circumstances and contribute more meaningful material to the site.

I think people have every reason to be skeptical about all aspects of this story. If there are pending cases that were truncated by Mr. Brozman's death, then something will still probably turn up in the news. Especially if they make claims against his estate.
