That said, it's _possible_ that some of the stuff that he said about the skateboard and the sexual abuse (and the response to it) actually happened. After all, no group, no matter how top-down in organization, is totally monolithic: there are local variations and differences among members. My mom told me I couldn't have a skateboard: she found that telling me that they were "unsafe" wasn't enough and had to bring in the bull. It's possible that the author's mom did the same, with different bull.
The issue is not whether there was abuse. It was whether an SWP official would shrug it off with the observation that “Under capitalism, everyone has problems.”
