Parenting after a Loss

what would you do?

So I live in Pennsylvania (specifically the home town of Penn State University) and I'm not sure if you all have heard on the news about the former assistant coach of the Football team is involved in a sex scandal involving at least 8 young boys.

 I was just wondering how you all would feel about finding out after over a decade that your child had been sexually assaulted and people knew but didn't tell anyone about it. (if that makes sense) 

 I think it is horrific that 8 young boys were sexually assaulted by someone and because he was such a prominent figure, the university pretty much covered up all that happened. 

I'm not quite sure how i would feel if it was my own child though. What do you think?

Re: what would you do?

  • I'm sure that if ever found out that one of my children were touched inapropriately by someone at any point in their lives I would personally hunt down the person that did it and cut off their balls with my kitchen scissors.

  • The persons who knew about the abuse and did nothing and/or covered it up, are just as guilty as the offender, IMO.  Total abuse of power and prestige if you ask me. 

    If he knew about it, Joe Pa should be ashamed.

    This. And I agree with the part about the kitchen scissors.

  • I'd probably kill anyone who hurt any of my children.  If I didn't kill I'd for sure seriously and permanently injure.

  • My dad would get there first and the person would be dead.

  • I hope to teach my children that these situations are not acceptable and have them feel comfortable telling me if something does happen.  I would feel extreme guilt if I found out it happened to my kid YEARS after it happened.  I would hope the cops get to them first, otherwise I'd kill whoever did it.  Shoot first, ask later.
