Stim, my grandfather was a psychiatrist, my mother an MSW who worked for Child Protective Services where I grew up. I was pretty well immersed in the accounts of the work Mom was doing, without knowing any client names. The vocabulary is in the family.

The common sense can be found anywhere. If you dial 911 and say "My child was molested" you ARE going to get response. Physical exams, psychological exams, rape kits if it was very recent. Reports are going to be filed, investigations are going to happen. If names are named, there are any number of ways jurisdictions may choose to approach it, is my guess. But the point is - the call to police or child protective services has to be made. I don't know what was in the heads of the alleged victims and their families, or what they tried to do that yielded so few results. Unless they did nothing. I'm not going to speculate.
