Joe Paterno’s motto “Success with honor” was just words without deeds. He is at fault for child abuse. It is an act that society cannot tolerate. From USA Today “In 46 seasons as coach, Paterno built a football powerhouse while touting academics, ethics. But a scandal ended his career prematurely.” Paterno probably won’t be prosecuted but he deserves to be ostracized from society. However, just in case he he is prosecuted he has hired an experienced attorney who regularly represents companies in civil and criminal investigations according to The Washington Post.
It’s something we rarely talk about but just Google “incest in America” and you will find an extraordinary amount of information and most likely mis-information. Many of our states do not allow abortions except in the case of incest or rape. Is that because it is so prevalent?
Child sexual abuse has been reported up to 80,000 times a year, but the number of unreported instances is far greater, because the children are afraid to tell anyone what has happened, and the legal procedure for validating an episode is difficult. The problem should be identified, the abuse stopped, and the child should receive professional help. The long-term emotional and psychological damage of sexual abuse can be devastating to the child.
