Protecting youth is paramount

Please, please, Amherst Bee, please tell me it ain't so.

Our federal congressional representative, Thomas Reynolds, has not yet comprehended that this is simply a matter of protecting our youth from predators.

Rep. Reynolds' reaction in his expensive political apologies on TV shows he still doesn't get it. He is saying that bottling the issue up in the political party was sufficient, instead of reporting it to legal authorities who could have stopped it.

Reynolds knew about it. Reynolds allowed it, Reynolds condoned it. It doesn't seem to occur to him that protecting our youth is paramount.
