Touching a leg ...

[sunnystarr]

Sandusky admitted in a television interview to touching the leg of young boys and "horsing around" with them in the shower. But that it wasn't sexual.

Now I've only the touched the leg of men I was intimate with. I wouldn't dream of touching another man's leg unless I wanted to signal I was looking for intimacy.

I wouldn't dream of holding onto one of my children's legs while in the car nor of course any child. (which was reported in the Grand Jury report on Sandusky)

I'd like to know how many of you hold on to the leg of child in a non-sexual way.

1. first step to see if the kid will be receptive... NO fault of kids. nt

2. Sandusky is a pedophile no if and or buts.....

The sooner they get this creep behind bars, but as we all know money talks

3. Seems like this is Plan B for Sandusky

Plan A was deny everything for 15 years.
Plan B is claim that rape witnessed in a public shower was "horse play." Disgusting.

4. I'll occasionally pat my son on the knee or leg...

...to signify my pride, affection or approval of something well done or a thank you.

When I do that to him, it's like a pat on the back or a high five.

I would NEVER do something like this to someone else's child.

PEACE!

5. Hey, It was just HORSEPLAY..... sheesh.... gawd.... HORSEPLAY!

...

You know, horseplay like when the older horse gets a younger horse and touches it with it's erection and then rapes it the rear end.

It's the horses' way of BONDING, it's innocent and an integral part of SPORTS.

And it's non-sexual, just a naked older horse touch the younger horse in HORSEPLAY.

Also, not just at the school showers but also at homes and at HOTELS.

It's called INNOCENT NAKED PENIS TOUCHING WITH A TEN YEAR OLD HOTEL HORSEPLAY!!!

Horses do this all the time.

:puke:

6. The REAL admission of guilt, for what innocent person would even RETAIN such a memory?

7. I tickle my great grandchildren. Yesterday one of them was in her

car seat and all I could reach were her legs so I was tickling her knees and toes. However, I was not in a shower with her and never would be and she was fully dressed. She took her shoes off so I could tickle the toes. It is a game all of us (9 great grandchildren play together).

I do not believe Sandusky.

8. I used to work in an office where I was the only employee. I had my own desk with an

adjoining chair for "visitors". One day the boss, an old man (to me then) of 70ish came in and sat down to chat. He reached over and put his hand on my leg, I had on a skirt. I stopped him straight away and told him I was reporting him ( I had no idea to whom, I was only in my early 20's and pretty uninformed on these things). He immediately apologized and said it was a friendly gesture. I later turned in my resignation to his adult son and told him the reason. They pleaded with me to not turn him in as he was in early stages of Alzheimer's. They also told me they would give me glowing references and pay for one month or found another job, which ever came first. I did not answer any of their pleadings. I found out soon there after the old guy did go into a nursing home.
So if this was cause for concern way back then and we were both fully clothed,..........:shrug:

9. By the ankle while holding them upside down

Or flipping them across your back, or while they are riding your shoulders. Kids love it.

I doubt seriously that Sandusky was involved in horseplay.
