A series of reports highlight institutional child abuse and judicial leniency, including the historical abuse of aboriginal children in Canadian boarding schools and a Dutch police officer arrested for murder. In the UK, a judge is criticized for allowing a teacher to avoid jail after molesting a student because the teacher had already paid the parents a settlement. The hosts argue that the "sexting" moral panic is used to distract from systemic abuse within the elite.
