This excerpt from the Clemente Report is very disturbing. For anyone who refuses to believe that Joe didn't know - I think this story will change their minds. Would anyone blame this Mom, like they blame Joe? Would she be fired? Would she be cast as a horrible, evil person? Should all of her life's good work be erased because of this episode? Was she demonized like Joe has been? And this molestation happened literally right in front of her eyes.
Please watch the video, read the Clemente report, THEN please post your comments and let us know what you think.
Excerpt from Clemente Report:
"One of the many potential victims whom I interviewed during the investigation had a very interesting story to tell. First, I spoke with the boy’s mother. She assured me that she had already asked her approximately 6-year-old son whether Taus had molested him. He said no, so she believed there was no reason for me to talk to her son. I told her I would just like to ask a few questions and it would not take long. She reluctantly agreed. I interviewed the boy while he sat beside his mother and asked the boy a number of questions before I inquired whether Taus played any games with him. He answered that yes, they played the tickle game. I asked how the game was played. At that point, I recall the boy turning to his mother and saying, “You remember Mom, when I was sitting on his lap last time he was here talking to you. He had his hand up my shorts tickling my privates. He tickles me and I have to try not to laugh.” I looked at the mother and all the color had drained from her face. She could not believe that Taus had molested her son right in front of her very eyes and she had no idea that it had happened. She trusted Taus so much based on his profession, his reputation, and her repeated positive interactions with him that she never even questioned the fact that he liked to have her son sit on his lap."
ALL OF YOU PEOPLE, PARTICULARLY ESPN TALKING HEADS, NEED TO SHOW SOME REAL COURAGE AND ADMIT THAT YOU WERE WRONG. IT COULD HAVE JUST AS EASILY BEEN YOU INSTEAD OF JOE. OR THAT POOR MOM. CMON PEOPLE - HAVE SOME MORAL COURAGE AND ADMIT YOUR MISTAKE, AND HELP THESE GOOD PEOPLE RESTORE THE LEGACY OF ONE OF THE TRULY GREAT MEN IN THE HISTORY OF FOOTBALL.
I thought I had already seen the most pathetic defence of JoePa possible. I was wrong.
“We will beat you liberals once and for all. “
Beat us LIberals? Just WTF does politics have to do with raping little boys? Penn State should be burned to the ground for it’s part in the Sandusky crap! As for the “truth” coming out, you can believe what you want, but the real truth is that Paterno thought more of himself and “his” football legacy than he did of the lives of the children that were abused by his pal Sandusky. There is a special place in Hell for guys like Joe Paterno and based on your “views,” I hope you get the chance to sit beside him! Football uber alles, right pal! It’s football that’s the real important stuff today now isn’t it. If I told you what I really thought of you, they would not let me post anymore!
Apparently FlJoePa doesn't know 1/10 of what he claims.
“God Bless Joe Paterno and Penn State! Glory be that the truth is coming out.”
Joe knew and did nothing. End of story.
There is a special place in Hell for guys like Joe Paterno and based on your “views,” I hope you get the chance to sit beside him!
Proves even more my point that you are a nasty liberal. No conservative would say such a thing ESPECIALLY on Ash Wednesday.
Hi All,
I’m back. It appears that y’all have had some interesting dialogue. What strikes me most is how so many people come to really strongly believe things - because they’ve heard them over and over on TV, or read newspaper and internet opinions. The opinions of others become their own, without the natural curiosity to find the real truth on their own. Sadly, this seems all to common in today’s society.
Because we had two men in our family abused as children in the Scouts who did not deal with it until they were adults, I recognize the Paterno response of being disgusted by even thinking, letting alone knowing about both an incident of homosexuality and child abuse.
Men act in this tabooish way and boys respond with the same disgust towards THEMSELVES for being the victims of a predator. Many end up drug addicts and/or suicides; the dark secrecy is often ruinous for boys.
Heterosexual men are too disgusted by the idea of homo molestion of a boy to talk about it let alone, deal with it. So any excuse they can use to brush it under the rug, is what they have done in the past. Few uderstand the predator’s trap of grooming. Few uderstand the nature of the damage to the boy’s idenity. Men should learn about the nature of the homo rape of other men, too. It’s rampant in prisions and will be everywhere if they don’t get a handle on it and go after the perverts in a united way.
It does not make it moral or even legal that men have mistreated molested boys in this way. At some point, men have to become protective of and trusted by boys and come to understand the sexual predator’s nature and game. Men have to teach themselves and boys about male and female adult perverts and the manipulative tricks they use against them. Espeically now that homo pervs are out of the closet and in heterosexual men’s and boys’ faces!
Boys are dead meat if men don’t design and conduct sexual molestion prevention trainings by and for heterosexual men and boys. Women did it for girls a long time ago. Boys are sitting ducks because men still won’t deal with it. And that avoidance makes every one of them as guilty as Paterno.
Also men should be standing up against the grooming going on right now in public schools with children. Adults should not be interacting sexually with other people’s children, physically or mentally. This is called GROOMING! Men have to create new boundries for homos in proper interaction with heterosexual boys and men. Yes they can be out of the closet.
No they can not sexually harass other men with their sexual behaviors...or they will get their asses kicked. No heterosexual men are not going to put up with gang rape (is happening in the US military and it’s showing up in male sports teams as hazing.)
Growing up with feminist education about sexual harassment and rape of girls, I would not hesitate to beat the hell out of a man who aggressively attacked me sexually. If I saw another woman being harmed I would be super nasty about it. Homos need the same boundries with heterosexual boys and men. Why are homos demanding everyone put up with their sex? It’s time for heteroxexual males to set enforced, polite sexual boundries for queers or they will end up victims. Victims of child molestion and victims of gang rape. Sodom was really a place and homosexuality is taboo for a reason...
Well said
Not a Liberal nor am I a Catholic, sorry! Too bad we disagree, but that's how the cookie crumbles! Enjoy your fantasy about Paterno being some “Lion of the Football World.” You probably think OJ didn't do it because he played football! I understand that there's no cure for footballicus stupidus.
There is no downside to having a child instructed in practical martial arts. All physical benefits aside, it cultivates self confidence, awareness, quick thinking and committed action.
So true. I put both sons through martial arts. They can and will fight...or know when to run. : )
But you still do not understand the mindf!ck
these pervs uses on children and young people to entrap them. They entrap boys like honey to the bees; tempting them with booze, porn, approval, trips, rides...whatever their hearts desire.
They are entrapped in the shame of payment before they realize what has happened to them. If you know about the spiritual realm in snatching souls, it is the same sly technique to entrap an innocent into darkness. A kid has no way of measuring the real cost. That is why heterosexual need to understand this and educate boys to beware.
Well I talked to my kids about it tonite and we watched the video. So some good has come of this. Hope others do too. Thanks all for the spirited discussion.
“I would imagine there are other topics we may not agree with 100 percent but for the majority I bet we do.”
That is a true statement! Particularly with respect to the state of our Federal Government! LIkewise, I wish you a great day as well!
The head of the Penn State University Police Department.
You guys can keep your JoePa fan club. Not me, thanks.
They are the real police having jurisdiction on all things on the Penn State campus. It's the way it works on campuses throughout the country.
And the PSUPD was part of the 1998 Sandusky investigation and still had the records.
And Schulz even had the Chief of the PSUPD pull the 1998 records.
So you were saying???
So you were saying???
So Shulz, a co-conspirator with Paterno in enabling Sandusky, a principal in all this pedophilia, is in control of the PSUPD?
Yeah, that sounds like a real police force alright.
