Of course the boy was afraid. Of course the boy didn’t want to say anything out of fear and shame. That is why the adults had to step up to the plate, including the coach who actually witnessed it. Did they? We all know the answer to that. They passed it along as if it was a report that Sandusky was caught in a traffic violation.
grrrrrr
Some things never change. Abusers have power; kids do not.
The NCAA needs to establish a 1-8000 hotline # to report sexual abuse of minors. There are nearly 400 division 1 schools and probably the same D-2 D-3 and Jr colleges. Penn Sate could not be the only place these sick monsters have struck. At risk youth programs. boys summer camps, etc etc exist at most colleges. One wonders how many more are out there scared to come forward.
All the do-gooders said that this was homophobic and deeply wrong.
But I think the Boy Scouts were on to something.
My heart just breaks for the little boys that were groomed and violated by this monster.
I do call some BS on this mother’s story
She had no idea over all those years? Allowing all those sleepovers with a lovesick old chicken hawk??? No Mom gay-dar went “ping” even a tiny bit?
She didn’t know Sandusky was pulling her kid out of school?
What school lets a kid be released without parental permission?
as an aside
all this outrage at Penn State-
what about the entire Hollywood movie and music industries and their lionizing Michael Jackson and who knows what other child predators???
NO profanity. OK, NO profanity on freerepublic.
(deep breath)
For Victim #1, HE had been witnessed at his high school by the wrestling coach in a secluded weight room with Sandusky on top of him.
And this wrestling coach does nothing either? WTF is WRONG with these people?

We have failed our children. We have aloud evil take over our lives. We have become the sheep that we all feared. This is just a small view of the evil that pollutes our lives.....There was a time when someone who did this to a children would be hanging from a short rope.
This will be whitewashed and within 6 months be forgotten.
And evil wins again. A sign of the times.... The end times.
And now that Sandusky's are openly allowed in the military, it will be you just can't tell Sergeant no.
We have normalized, mainstreamed, legalized and celebrated sodomy.
We are teaching it as an wonderful alternative lifestyle in our schools.
Homophobia is a hate crime.
Tell me, what is there to prosecute when this old sodomite is just doing what comes natural?
We should be normalizing, celebrating, and legalizing homophobia.
I'm sick of these MSM stories that never even mention a father. They are written as if his partition in the son's life is completely irrelevant. Most fathers would be highly suspicious of a grown man showing so much personal interest in their son, but it seems the people covering these stories are either unaware or uninterested in the dad's role in their son's life.
Sandusky, as most pedophile predators, prey on the vulnerable. Meaning, the boys who don't have an angry father who would likely beat him senseless. This is an important part of the story, but apparently, not to the press who continue to believe fathers can be easily replaced by “father figures”.
I have seen practice footage of Sandusky. He was bigger than most of his players. This had to be truly terrifying to these young boys.
George and abc news are worried about a homosexual pedophile? Nope....something else is going on here. Where’s Barney?
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?
Does anyone on here believe that the NCAA should mete out the death penalty to PENN ST for this? After all, if a school can be given the death penalty for ‘recruiting violations,’ then why not for this? If the death penalty does not happen, we will know FOR SURE that our society is NOT about ‘protecting the kids.’
