And so oftentimes it's a guardian or a parent who is signing this NDA on behalf of their child.
The child grows up, becomes a young man or woman, realizes what their parents signed and that they can't own their own story.
And it's just a bond.
I think that's, yeah, that's definitely a fair way of putting it.
And to add, the other thing that's a layer of trauma in this is that their coverup bought enough time for these victims to be out of statute.
So they can't, now that they know the extent of the coverup,

And that's why an independent investigation or some sort of law enforcement agency stepping in is so necessary in this.
He confessed allegedly in March 2009 to abusing seven boys.
