The mother of the boy who triggered the investigation into Jerry Sandusky's alleged child sex assaults says that during the years of abuse the boy suffered he felt he didn't have the power to say no to the former Penn State football coach.
Speaking exclusively with George Stephanopoulos on ABC News' "Good Morning America" the mother of the boy, who is referred to in court papers as Victim 1, describes how she learned of the abuse and how her son lived in fear of coming forward to implicate a football coaching legend.
"I had said, 'You know, maybe we should have come to this conclusion earlier -- you should have told me,'" the mother, whose name is being withheld, said she told her son. "He was like, 'Well, I didn't know what to do … you just can't tell Jerry no.'"

Oh give me a frickin break. The “dad” was nothing more than a sperm donor, drug addict, deadbeat, out spreading his wild oats in our sick sex crazed society.
I agree with the Boy Scouts but these perverts know how to live just the right way to get accepted...married...church going..laughing...smiling...friendly....”really” really likes kids....
Sandusky is also homosexual, which would keep him out of the Boy Scouts.
Probably not. I think an 800# to make it easier for kids to report would be a good idea though. Too many hide what happened and then more kids wind up getting abused.
Right where is “dad”. “Dad” is often one who has left to “find himself” or otherwise. When “dad” does not have time or desire to take a part in a son’s life, that son misses an important relationship in his life.
I wonder why the mother only had 1 phone call. Why was she willing to do nothing about it?
Seems no one is willing to stand up. So, you see why that child is afraid to say “no”. He has no one to help him - they are too busy allowing predators to practice their behavior - including many judges who see nothing wrong with “love” between a child and an adult man.
Makes me sick.
How would they know, you mean he would admit it on his application?
(Way t’screw up a perfectly good rant, TCM...ya’ idjit)
Contrast this with the giggly gal who claims Cain was “inappropriate” with her. The people who come out in the limelight to tell a story are not the people who have been through that whole pathology of shame and vulnerability.
The Democrat Liberal Media supports gay rights and promotes this stuff. Wasn’t the head of Penn State up for a job in the Obama Administration?
They would know however they could know. Maybe he would be able to effectively hide behind a wedding ring. The point is that if they knew, they would not give him access to the boys.
I agree with you, my BS flags went up as soon as the stories started breaking, my opinion it’s all about the money now.
There is another aspect of the grooming of young boys. Homosexual predators do not just "jump" their victims without first working very gradually to gain their trust through attention and gifts. Then they pull a guilt trip/blackmail line on the kid "Here I spent all this time on you and gave you x, y and z. Do you have any idea how much that cost? Are you gonna repay me in cash or??? Maybe I should send a bill to your mom...."
I'm thinking the same thing. The kid was probably relieved when a teacher from his own school walked in on one of the attacks. He probably thought, "Finally, another adult knows. Surely, this will put an end to it." Only, that's not what happened. Nothing was done. The attacks continued. He realized at that point that there was no hope - and that telling another adult would only confirm that hopelessness.
I am blown away knowing that God continues to love us.
Money will have always have a greater hold over the minds of men than anything else.
There were 70 million + rea$on$ why no one said anything.
Exactly, and these ones that come out lying & making a mockery of it all, are making it even harder for real victims to be believed!
Can anybody believe that Coach [sic] McQueary is still a coach at Penn State in 2011 knowing that this horrid abuse of defenseless children continued for ten years because he didn't report this to the police in 2001?
For sure, the mother probably was afraid of retribution from the high & mighty University if she & her young son reported such an event. That prevents alot of victims from reporting these things. They are usually up against someone more powerful than themselves, as perps like this usually prey on kids from less fortunate circumstances!
Ah, you mean the government. Government has waged a war against personal responsibility for half a century now. And after the culmination of that death, you realize that 'DAD' can't be held responsible either.
Re the absence of fathers in these child molestation cases:
These days, a “single mom” is simply a woman who chose not to obligate the father of her children by demanding marriage and commitment. And there’s no stigma attached.
Long time ago, there were “divorced moms” and “widowed moms” and not much else. Pregnant single women gave up their children for adoption.
Indeed, where are the fathers?
