The thought that pops into my head is was abused?... Correct me if I'm wrong, but, is it not much more likely to become a pedophile if you yourself are abused?
I thought they adopted a few kids.During the whole case there were rumors he had indeed abused one of his kids (not sure if he had more than one)
This is absolutely true. Not all who were abused become pedophiles, but the vast majority of pedophiles were abused at some point in time.The thought that pops into my head is was abused?... Correct me if I'm wrong, but, is it not much more likely to become a pedophile if you yourself are abused?
It's all reprehensible, but, this just gets worse and worse. The entire thing is just sickening and heartbreaking.During the whole case there were rumors he had indeed abused one of his kids (not sure if he had more than one)
That is why knowing about Sandusky in the 70's and not doing anything about it and allowing him to do it for another 30 years and molesting god knows how many kids just is horrific. But, at least they won some football games.This is absolutely true. Not all who were abused become pedophiles, but the vast majority of pedophiles were abused at some point in time.
I interned on a adolescent, psychiatric unit where a number of the patients were victims of incest. The worst part was many of those victims were probably going to be institutionalized for life.It's all reprehensible, but, this just gets worse and worse. The entire thing is just sickening and heartbreaking.
How are the actions of this demented person at a corrections facility connected to Joe Paterno?The Paterno Legacy.
It just keeps growing.
Dammit.
The monster set up organizations designed to funnel boys to him, do you think he could resist molesting boys in his own home? Unfortunately his son could not break the chain.Never in my wildest imagination did I expect to read that when I opened this thread. Just totally sickening and sad.
The moment Joe Paterno knew what Sandusky was doing and allowed him to continue, he took on the sins of Sandusky.How are the actions of this demented person at a corrections facility connected to Joe Paterno?

Yes.The moment Joe Paterno knew what Sandusky was doing and allowed him to continue, he took on the sins of Sandusky.
It's part of the chain. Who knows at what point Sandusky's son was triggered to follow his father? But, if something had been done decades earlier, it may have been in time to break this chain.Yes.
But this isn't the Sandusky who coached at PSU.
