What are you waiting for?

So I'm online reading the news sites like I always do. And I see that Joe Paterno breaks his silence about the sex abuse scandal that rocked Penn State.

I was pretty curious as to why he (Joe) never mentioned anything to the proper authorities (the police) about the sex abuse that had taken place. In his own words, this is what he said.

"I didn't know exactly how to handle it and I was afraid to do something that might jeopardize what the university procedure was. So I backed away and turned it over to some other people, people I thought would have a little more expertise than I did. It didn't work out that way"

I have a few problems with this statement and here's why. IF AT ANYTIME, YOU EVER SEE SEXUAL ABUSE GOING ON WITH ANYONE AT ANYTIME, YOU ALWAYS ALL THE POLICE. I DON'T GIVE A SHIT WHERE YOU ARE IN SOME FANCY SCHOOL, OR IN THE MIDDLE OF GHETTO BLVD. YOU GET HELP.

what the hell are you afraid of jeopardizing? The dignity of your colleagues? Or the innocence of a n child? wtf? How do you hear something like that and go back home and lay your head down?!

so what did he do? He told his boss and then athletic director Tim Curley. Who in return did less than nothing. No one ever called the cops, no one ever told the proper authorities to help get this child to safety. He also said that he did not know a man could rape another man. Now, for the benefit of the doubt I am going to defend this statement. Only because I know that Paterno is an older man, and sometimes these types of scandals can be so taboo that it's hard for people his age to comprehend. But at the end of the day, if this was one of paterno's grandchildren, I'm sure he would have done more to make sure that something like this would have been stopped. I do not know if I believe that he has never heard of a man raping another man, but obviously if someone is doing something to a child, let a lone rape...you speak up. There is no excuse what so ever. I am glad that everyone who knew about it, and has been charged, or dismissed are being investigated.

I find that anyone who finds children at all sexually appealing need serious mental health. I also feel that people who know a child is being harmed, and do nothing about it, are just as accountable. The well-being of child is much more important than how embarrassed a scandal makes you. ITS DISGUSTING AND IRRESPONSIBLE to not report a crime once your known about it. I do not know who the children are that have been involved in the scandal, but their mental health, their sexual innocence, and lives are forever changed. All because "a few good men" wanted to cover their asses.

smh :( what will it take? I am going to attach a video I think I have posted before about what someone should do if they see a child. Was he too old to be a coach of a college? no! Was he told old to know the difference between right and wrong? nope!

you see something? YOU SAY SOMETHING!

LORD

I am not sure how many of you have been following the sickening story about former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky..you know..disgusting pedophile who was adored and trusted by many.

I am not only ticked off about this whole thing, but I am also ticked off that people knew what this sick bastard was doing to young boys and not one called the police. NOT ONE! How stupid can you be to see an old disgusting man nude in the shower, behind a child and just walk away? CALL THE DAMN POLICE! This man has been assaulting children for lord knows how long and now he is finally going to pay. Mike McQueary testified that he saw Jerry sodomizing a child in 2002. WTF IT'S 2011.

So that I don't put words in his mouth let me put up a quote made by Mike McQueary.
"There's no question in my mind that I conveyed to (university officials) that I saw Jerry with a boy in the shower and that it was severe sexual acts going on and that it was wrong and over the line."

He also graphically described that when he walked into the locker room he heard skin on skin slapping. He saw Jerry and a child engaged in what he considered "sexual acts."

after mcqueary saw this taking place he left and called his father and explained to him what he saw. Now according to cnn, in court Mike avoided using the words "anal sex," & "sodomy" because he didn't want to offend his father.

really? how about the children and parents who are beyond offended that an adult sodomized and had sex with their children. Who are you worried about offending? Well hey, at least he was thinking about somebody right?

I can't understand why anyone, let alone an adult..finds anything about CHILDREN sexually appealing. Who looks at a child and has those types of impure thoughts? Sick sick sick in the head. Not only did officials lie about what happened, but they helped cover it up! Tim Curley and Gary Schultz both resigned after the shit started to hit the fan. (bit fishy huh?) They are each accused of perjury, lying to a grand jury.

Another thing I saw a buncha wusses crying because Joe Paterno was fired from Penn State. I was confused when I saw it because I could have swore I thought they were crying for the victims involved. I mean, what about the victims? It's just so unfair that someone with so much integrity and popularity is mourned rather than reprimanded for failing to tell the truth and protect a child. Or children in this case. We as individuals need to honestly sit back and think about how people are protected because of popularity. I hope, that justice is served and the victims and families learn to start healing from this process.
