"The consultant took the boy to a hotel room where he auditioned for Diddy by performing some rap songs. [...] He says he told them what allegedly happened and that they “were terrified of the potential consequences of reporting the abuse.”
This is weird. Was the consultant a part of it? Who was the person that gave him the soda? The consultant and the parents noticed the boy was off and did nothing? Did they at least take him to a hospital? So many negligent adults involved in this, but besides Diddy, the consultant and specially the person who gave him the soda need to be investigated as well. I doubt someone who works in the industry, close enough to get the boy in a room with Diddy, didn't know he was like this. And the parents are terrible. Ugh
Additional info in the suit says the 10 yr old boy, despite being threatened to not tell his parents, did tell his parents what happened anyway. His parents believed him, but they were all (boy plus parents) so afraid of the threats that they feared coming forward. Not dismissing the initial naïveté by parents but I can see Combs making everyone feel terrified and only now do all the victims feel more safe coming forward.
I keep coming back to that because it's SO deranged. Cassie must have been so incredibly scared because it's just so far beyond the kind of violence one might expect inside or outside an abusive relationship - and that violence is already so extreme.
I get what you mean, but just leaving the 10 year old alone with adult strangers in general is very questionable to me, but I also understand the allure of it being a famous person and the false sense of security that may come with it.
I also get what you mean about the fear of reporting him, after all in another case a woman DID report, more than once, and difference police forces ignored it and "lost" the reports, I shouldn't have said that.

I know this didn't happen until after this poor kid was assaulted, but HE BLEW UP KID CUDI'S CAR after threatening to do so.
I can't be mad at any of the victims or their families that were scared into silence because we now know that they were absolutely in danger.
