My daughter got help from the Shriners when she was about 3. The docters were volunteers or full time but under paid. The orthopedics dept was amazing. The waiting rooms were full of kids, with parents, who really needed to be there. They always encouraged the parents to stay with the kids the whole time, because it's kind of scary for little children.

From my experience with them, they were really good.

You speak the truth.

So in your mind there is no way a group that solely focuses on disadvantaged children would have child predators in its ranks?

Most of the members of the Shriners have no contact with the kids. Of course it is possible for any organization to have child predators in their ranks but Shriners are not a front group masking a pod of predators.

The secret meetings, dressing up as clowns, cryptic language. It just seems over done for a charity group.

They only dress up as clowns for parades, not at meetings. It's not creepy like you're thinking.
