I can understand that someone who witnessed such a thing would call his Dad about it, but I can't understand =not intervening on the spot,= if only to shout "Hey, what's going on?" (Personally, I'd probably be doing time right now for assaulting the perp, but that's just me! At least the boy would have been spared a few minutes of abuse.)

Rollercoaster:

It might not be totally bad for the media to stay away from the young victims for a while. Meanwhile, it sounds like some of the attorneys and public figures who advocate for CSA victims are in touch with the victims, to make sure they aren't forgotten.

But I agree, one more sob story for Paterno and I'll barf on my keyboard!

Just gonna repeat this here in case any F&F wish to comment.

If anyone reads or knows my story, this is the exact, same mentality I faced ALL through seven years of active abuse in my shitty-little, sports-orients home town of DANVERS Massachusetts.

The masses are too self-centered and pigish to even examine themselves in the mirror. Humanity, by its very nature hates mirrors.

But what to do about Penn...? I think back on one of the horrible 1980s slaughters at a California McDonalds. Immediately following all neccesary investigations, the building was torn-down and grassed-over.

I say, with all seriousness; "tear-down the Penn State Football program NOW and for ever!!!" The sports leadership at Penn has shown its true colors...its regard for children...its entirely entitled and self centered ways. There is NO FKG reason to keep it! NONE!!!! It was an institution built upon poison, it now needs for REAL men of TRUE character to stand-up and destroy it.

People throw righteous shit-fits when a sex offender moves within ten miles of their home. Where's the consistent reaction for an actual baby-rape factory? There is none and there never will be.

If one in every six of our amazing men in this country are victims of sexual abuse don't you think there are enough of them out there that do know what it feels like to be a victim?
