And your point is?

Accurate observation is called cynicism by those who do not accurately observe and instead prefer to obfuscate (like McCall).

People provide cover for abuse. Scazza provided a summary of examples here:

If the "sudden departures" continue - the abuse continues.

If the abuse continues - the temptation to provide cover continues.

The school and its staff were aware of problems for decades. See, for example: https://www.chforum.info/php/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=5219&p=142644#p142644 ...much of this site is devoted to analyzing who knew what and when about abuse and bullying (and there is much to read). Refunding fees make...

I have got a strong feeling that your apology might be the route to compensation for [many] others.

No apologies - they might cost you. CH is teaching the wily politicians and bureaucrats of the future. (And never learn from any historical facts - that might cost you too).

...so 'facts' are person specific now...(!)
Actually facts are facts. Uncomfortable perhaps - but they are facts.

That the children of staff did not have the same experience as other children is a fact and not speculation. (The speculation was on the chances of being sexually abused being zero for such children, I know of no public information to contradict that speculation. But it may have happened). Abetting ...

When I was a pupil, masters' children inhabited a gilded cage. They could go home when they wanted. They often did not stay in the dorms. Corporal punishment was likely reduced - because at some point parent and teacher might have to discuss the topic. They were not bullied - because the chances of ...

Just another routine sudden departure...

Webb's responsibilities were changed during Newsome's time immediately after the chanting incident in the dining hall in the late 1970s. It is unlikely that Newsome was not aware of this sequence of events.
