Your prayers and ours were answered. I agree with all your comments. I also thought he had been abused as a young boy , which led him to continue on with the same pattern..........

Raising our children in the 1960's and 1970's....and beyond, it never once entered our minds to suspect boy scout leaders, coaches, teachers, music teachers, sports figures.........priests and ministers, pediatricians.........not that we had our heads in the sand, we just never imagined any of this. Now that everyone knows, they should do their utmost to protect all of our grandchildren and beyond.......and our neighbors' children, if we suspect anything out of the ordinary.

What makes you think that he is not the first in the line of a new breed of pedophiles? He found a fertile ground and exploited it.

All we ever hear is that I am one because my (insert name here) did it to me. If I was on a jury that would a crap reason. He would burn in hell (or al least have Bubba for a cell mate).

That is a very poor defense that almost no jury would buy. He may like having Bubba for a cell mate though. He will have protective custory in any prison he gets sentenced to as the other inmates would kill him for abusing children and to get credibilty with other convicts.

Campus police might have all the powers but they didn't and often don't exercise those powers. Often it seems, there main role is to sweep things under the rug.

Reality check: JoePa and other officials knew that the campus PR... oops, I mean campus police, did nothing about the report and that Sandusky was allowed continued access to children. If he and other officials had been more concerned about preventing child rape than they were about the football program, they would not have been satisfied with the non-action of the campus rug sweepers... oops, I mean campus police.

That is just how I see it too.

This is the same type of corporate/institutional image protecting thinking that you see in the military with the sexual assaults of women service people being swept under the rug by forcing the women sexual assault victims to see psychiatrists. It destroys their credibility while protecting the image of the military branch that has this problem of sexual assault of mainly females by their fellow soldiers/sailors/marines, etc.

We here in State College are grateful Sandusky was found guilty. We just want the victim's to find peace and to be able to live rest of life knowing justice was served. The University will have to take responsibility for failing to protect children from that man.

Welcome Fran. I hope you will feel the same about this place that we three G's do. We love it.

It is raining today but not with the thunder and lightning. A gentle, constant rain that is filling up that pond that lost water and making my roses grow and our grass green. Sometimes we need a rainy day. I love to watch it rain.

But most of the time it is sunny and wonderful to zip around in your golf cart and do all of the things that are available.

Hurry home.

We'll leave the light on fer ya! ;)

Thanks Gracie, I have been reading TOTV for a long time. Love reading all of you on here, feel like I know most of you already !
