I never said the bishops were innocent, Steven. I said that long before any given bishop even hears a word of it, there are lay individuals that have suspicions of abuse, even direct knowledge of abuse, that did nothing. Both movies "Doubt" and "Spotlight" illustrated this aspect explicitly, yet that's an aspect that the collective here ignores. I can only guess that to the mindset here, it's just not as salacious and intriguing to address prevention and solutions can be found at the lay level. As to the timing of the matter, the lay level is exactly where the problem needs to be addressed.
