Thread, "why didn't the media disclose this information earlier, before it escalated into a horrible state? "
My error. Apparently they did, but it took pictures to make clear what was going on:
story.news.yahoo.com
CNN Pentagon (news - web sites) reporter Barbara Starr, who reported on the alleged abuse at least four times before the pictures came out, (but)
.... "it didn't become a big story until people could see these virtually pornographic images."
Like many newspapers, the News-Sun in Springfield, Ohio wrote little about the charges until there were pictures, said editor Karla Garrett Harshaw.
"When you see those images, it just has a different feel," Harshaw said. "It evokes more emotion because you see it. (You think) my goodness, how could they do that?"

When they didn't have photos, they should have used historical photos to depict the issue from other scenes in history, to drive the point through.
