Jerry Sandusky should never have had the job he did, he should have not had the standing in the community as he did, but, he did.
There is also a death unresolved of someone with enough information and fortitude to seek an end to the charade surrounding Sandusky. That man is a hero.
Jerry Sandusky is facing prison. If his prison sentence is long enough he will die there. That is not anyone's fault but his own. Jerry Sandusky was enough of a nightmare to bring his own step son to resolve to uphold the justice needed in these circumstances. Sandusky was a monster. A monster. He not only got away with it because of the power within the infrastructure of Penn State's Sports Complex, he grew his own 'child organization' to satisfy his needs.
The corruption existed because of money, the need for it and the capacity the sports complex brought to the financial needs of Penn State. This is a state university vital to the young adults of Pennsylvania, the country and beyond. This can't happen again. The policy below is only words unless it is followed up by action and deeds.
This type of policy needs to be a part of every student and staff orientation. It needs to include bullying and enforcement with definitions as to what these words mean. A freshman exposed to cruelty, either by sexual orientation or sexual exploitation, for the first time cannot over react in fear of dire consequences. The institutions in this country, especially public institutions, are important and they have to enforce the fact every life has the right to dignity and protection.
There is a great deal that went wrong with Sandusky and his predatory nature. It was caused by 'the importance of money within 'image' of the institution. None of the victims, including the football program should have been under that level of pressure or should have felt that helpless to act to protect young minds and hearts. This cannot happen again in this country and the power structure of any university cannot be connected to sexual misconduct in such a way it impacts the outcomes of the laws of this country or any state of this nation. This has to be the end of it or from now on it should be more than Jerry Sandusky on trial.
