Read the following in one of the stories today.
"The young man, identified in the new complaint as Victim No. 9, who is now 18 years old, said in his testimony that Sandusky attempted to rape him at least 16 times, sometimes successfully."
He was charging that his cries fro help were unheeded by Sanduskey's wife.
Now don't get in an uproar for what I am about to say, because any sexual abuse, no matter how it may be justified is unacceptable in my opinion. No matter what the cirsumstances. But, read this statement again:
"The young man, identified in the new complaint as Victim No. 9, who is now 18 years old, said in his testimony that Sandusky attempted to rape him at least 16 times, sometimes successfully."
Why, in the hell, was this boy at Sanduskey's home after the first incident? He knew it was wrong? He was crying out. I think we should take Sanduskey out, castrate him and throw him inprison with a target painted on his *ss, but...where the heck were the parents? Why couldn't this boy feel like he could tell his parents what was going on?
How out of touch with your kids do you have to be not to notice the "subtle" changes in mood and behavior when your child is being abused? I guess I am blaming the parents for not developing a relationship with their children that allows the child the knowledge that he can go to his parents in times likes this.
Again...Not excusing Sanduskey. He should face midieval punishment.

The other thing I don't understand is why was the kid ok with going over there and never put up any red flags when Sanduskey tried to rape him on at least 16 different occasions. I had a guy pat my butt one time as a kid, he was an assistant T-ball coach, and I wouldn't go near that guy after that and I was probably 6 or 7, just patting my butt I felt something wasn't right and it made me uncomfortable as a child. But I agree sanduskey should suffer death by 1,000 cuts.
I also want to add that i understand different children act and react differently so I am not saying the kid was wrong or stupid for not saying anything I am just curious why he would go back over there knowing what could and would most likely happen to him, he must have dreaded it, I am just surprised it didnt' show through0 -
These predators target a certain type of child that can be manipulated and most likely won't say anything.
My one son was bullied (punched, kicked and pushed to ground) for a full year and never told me. You know how I found out? He told his sister after the school year was over. I did notice subtle changes (more withdrawn) but he's a quiet kid to begin with and never did I suspect that he was being bullied. I cried when I found out because (1) he didn't say anything to me when I should be the first person he should be able to come to and (2) I could have nipped the situation in the bud but never had the opportunity.
I can't imagine the trauma that these victims have gone through and continue to live through. I hope that I never have to go through what their parents are going through right now.0 -
Kids make more mistakes than adults. Any mistake in judgement, shame, or lack of bravery on the kids part not coming foward sooner was paid a million times over when that old pedophile raped him. Sandusky and his wife, if all of this is true, should face harsh penalties to say the least.0

Sandusky ran a non-profit for troubled young boys. These kids probably didn't have anybody to tell.0

His wife makes me just as sick as he does. Add Paterno and all other bystanders to that list.0

I think this is horrible and they should all be strung up by their most valuable parts - BUT, I don't understand 16 times plus. A few, ok, but 16........
Many years of counseling coming up!0 -
The same could be said of any victims of abuse. Why doesn't the battered wife leave? Why doesn't the child abused by their parent tell a teacher or aunt or grandparent? There is a victim profile for peopl like that and part of that profile is that they think it's their fault, they don't think anyone will listen or believe them if they do happen to find someone who will even listen, and/or they think they deserved it as some sort of punishment. They don't think they are woth standing up for. They aren't able to stand up for themselves so why would someone else? It's truly sad.0

This...I'd also like to add there are some kids who have a tough time opening up.
An example - my son is totally passive, very open, communicates well, etc... My daughter, it takes an act of congress to get her to open up when something is bothering her. I'm very involved with both of them, spend loads of time individually with both of them, involved in their school, afterschool activities - all that wonderful stuff.
In saying that, I was the kid that had a hard time opening up to my parents. I didn't want to bother them, plus our home life was very chaotic so there were other underlying issues at hand as well.
Also, isn't it possible this kid didn't have other experiences to compare, so figured this was "normal"?
I thought a lot of things were normal until I had exposure to different family settings.0 -
These kids were troubled thus making them perfect targets. This seems to happen way to often, where kids get sexually abused and they don't tell anyone. Who knows what Sandusky might have threaten those boys with. We have no idea what those kids when through. Who knows what kind of conditions they lived in, whether or not they could confide in their parents, etc.0
