At first I felt the grad student was "collateral" damage but now I see he was employed there all along and I feel angry at him. All I know is - something BIG needs to be done to punish anyone and everyone who knew and said nothing to stop the abuse. Shame on them. I am DISGUSTED and outraged.

I've been trying lately to avoid think in terms of vengeance when I hear of someone who commits a "big" crime; but in cases of the kind of abuse that apparently happened over many years in the Penn State athletic facilities by Penn State personnel, shunning and solitary isolation from society seems to me to be an appropriate statement and a way to remove the person from people who might be hurt. It's also difficult to find a way to respond to the people who committed the crime without punishing the people at the university who are as shocked and dismayed as we are.Jerral Mileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10303357800838845522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651375935571245232.post-62282873659008608042011-11-11T19:49:53.557-08:002011-11-11T19:49:53.557-08:00Sometimes we have to take a deep breath...just for...Sometimes we have to take a deep breath...just for our own sanity!Cait Throophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00424249114747773949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651375935571245232.post-18794497315522188602011-11-11T07:08:23.038-08:002011-11-11T07:08:23.038-08:00And then Ashton Kutcher sent out a tweet, a little...And then Ashton Kutcher sent out a tweet, a little prematurely I think, that was in support of the coach! Ooops, his 8 million followers took issue with that and Ashton has turned his twitter feed over to his Media company to handle! Oh the scandal that keeps on giving... and yes, the sad truth is, it has little do with the victims!! <br /><br />Switching gears- the flowers look gorgeous!Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595982706357639001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651375935571245232.post-18177596498922572292011-11-11T03:36:21.292-08:002011-11-11T03:36:21.292-08:00This whole scandal is tragic.

That nothing was done at all by the adults at the time is beyond sick!!<br />I agree with the 15 year penalty...I mean the kids who were abused have been handicapped for the rest of their lives!!<br />Sad...really sad!!<br />Hugs<br />SueAnnSueannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299288406218968621noreply@blogger.com
