I'm not trying to excuse what happened, but not every parent is emotionally or physically present enough to blow the whistle on that behavior. Predators know what they're doing when they target certain kids.
Yup. He may also have "befriended" some of the parents as part of the grooming process. Unfortunately many sexual predators will go after the vulnerable kids for a number of reasons.
