This man used his position to lure these already at risk children and did horrific things to them. While I believe everyone is innocent until proven guilty, when it comes to something like this and there being a witness, I have to trust the witness (and the children). This man manipulated so many. And I agree with Judy that those who said nothing are just as guilty. We, as adults, are responsible for protecting children and no one protected those children from this predator. <br /><br />I want him and the others to pay dearly. I know that's not kind, but what they all did to those children is horrific. <br /><br />I need to go relax because I find myself wanting to cry. It's so upsetting. You are braver than I am. There is no way I could read the indictment. Just reading the bits and pieces I have has been unbearable. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Megan xxxMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622415628314992252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-16595470713896683742011-11-15T07:50:12.701-07:002011-11-15T07:50:12.701-07:00I am simply shocked that so many people over so ma...I am simply shocked that so many people over so many years could look the other way and say virtually nothing. They all knew. And they did nothing.

I think I must have reached my limit of this kind of horror three years ago and had to retire...not to denial, but to a permanent, sorrowing knowledge of human potential for depravity and of the befuddling nature of evil.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166865250789996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-73588066671515851822011-11-14T21:59:59.536-07:002011-11-14T21:59:59.536-07:00I want to thank you for writing this emotional, ra...I want to thank you for writing this emotional, rational, factional account of this tragedy because I can not write it myself. America is ready for what I'd have to say about that man, the football coach who I used to adore who looked the other way and the University (that my son ALMOST attended and I've loved) covered it up.<br /><br />You see, I could never write such a post because when it comes to RAPE, I am not rational. At the age of 12 I was raped by 3 grown men and now at the age of 50, though I've healed and got on with life it was only after 30 years of PTSD, Alcoholism/drug addiction, Depression and a suicide attempt.<br /><br />And even though I am for the most part happy. healthy and well these days I cannot detach enough to write such an informed yet emotional plea for justice.<br /><br />Thank You AB....Thomthormoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123682411248034307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-16696042481377509782011-11-14T19:38:28.836-07:002011-11-14T19:38:28.836-07:00Basically the fact that these children didn't ...Basically the fact that these children didn't have families able to help them, that they were in that charitable organization that Sanduzky set up for helping such children with a second chance. That's exactly why they were his kind of victim.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.com
