A teenage boy from Second Mile was acting out strange behavior, Mother tried to discipline him by not allowing him to go places etc. Coach Sandusky who was helping coach at the kid’s high school, contacted Mother and told her to let him handle the boy. She said No, he is my son.
She went to the HS for help with his change of behavior, somehow found out Coach S had been taking him out of classes etc at school without her knowledge. She then pursued the school, they talked with the boy and the lady principal called the Mother crying and said “You need to come now.”
The boy had broken down and was telling about the molestation. From there it got to the Grand Jury but has been there about a year I believe. That’s the gist of it.
So many men knew about this and it took a women to take action. Remember when men would protect kids and stand up for what is right.
No wonder Sarah Palin is so popular. She is braver than most men nowadays.
She called the HS to find out why Sandusky was taking her boy out of class.

From the mother:
“They told me to go home and think about what I wanted to do, and I was not happy,” she said. “They said I needed to think about how that would impact my son if I said something like that. I went home and got [my son] and we came to [Children and Youth Services] immediately.”
If she had followed the school officials recommendations, Sandusky would still be out raping. Disgusting.
The investigation began Nov. 2008 . IIRC , it went to the Grand Jury in 2009 .
That is a really sad, but really believable story. What year was it?
That lady principal probably had a son.
Too much of this goes on under the radar. I think people, myself included, want to think the best of people, and that even mild suspicions could not possibly be true. Then WHAMMO, reality check comes in when they find the truth.
I have never had a head on WHAMMO impact to known for certain about anyone in particular, but have had creepy vibes over a couple of people. Unfortunately, I cannot turn them in based upon a creepy feeling.
One of those creeps made a comment to my young child once that I thought was inappropriate. The way I explained it to my 12 yo child was by asking if my husband would say something like that to one of their friends. My child knew that the answer was no and respected my wishes to stay away from that guy from then on. We are no longer in the same circles, so I do not know whatever happened with him.
