2. By court order he is not allowed around his grandchildren.
Its not clear who brought that action - perhaps his own children.

10. Where is there a link so I can read up on the history of how all this came to pass?
I feel like I'm walking in during the fourth quarter.

20. I cannot believe it went as long as it did.
But, maybe, yes I can. This makes it even more incomprehensible why the Penn State students are upset that Patrono or whoever he is, got canned.

14. he's not allowed alone with them, but I think it applies only to unsupervised visits
Not that he can't be around them at all: http://www.centredaily.com/2011/11/08/2979220/court-order-sandusky-cant-be-alone.html

"Prothonotary Debra Immel said the order issued by Judge Thomas Kistler on behalf of three children states that the children, who live with both of their parents in a shared custody arrangement, can not be in the presence or at the home of their paternal grandfather, Sandusky, without supervision."

4. He also started a foundation for "at-risk" children and that's where he spent his time when he
retired. :( NO DOUBT that is where all his victims came from. :grr:

7. It may be about to get even worse
if allegations that children were pimped out to rich donors in exchange for $$$ to the athletic department.

Unspecified number of other janitors - Calhoun told the rest of his crew what he'd seen.

15. that would explain the strange silence from so many
Edited on Thu Nov-10-11 03:05 PM by Whisp
money always talks louder than screaming tortured kids.

not enough vomit for all this.
could also explain that prosecutors disappearance a while back - the one who didn't bring charges against the pedo. He could have been removed on orders from these rich and influencial scums of the earth, or he could have just disappeared himself knowing there was no other way out.

what a sick society. I often think we were all criminals from another planet and were dropped off here to fend for ourselves. it's just unbelievably how dispicably evil we are capable of being.

8. It isn't in doubt. Per the Grand Jury presentment, all 8 known victims knew
Sandusky due to their enrollment/involvement with Second Mile.

13. On average, studies would say 281 acts with 150 partners
One long-term study of hundreds of sex offenders found that the pedophile child molester committed an average of 281 acts with 150 partners. These types of offenders wreak havoc upon society far out of proportion to their numbers.

11. I'll bet there are a lot of victims
in that scenario. How tragic for the children involved. I wonder if she wouldn't believe and so did not interfere in those late night visits to the boy's rooms.
