Child sexual abuse is a big issue in today’s world. It is pretty sad to say that the number of children being sexually abuse is increasing. Children are no longer safe and it is something that as a mother it concerns me because you don’t know how to protect your kids from it. For this assignment we were ask to read the Penn State Scandal article. In which a victim of child sexual abuse speaks out about his horrific experience and his journey to bring to justice the man responsible for his misery and pain. The victim suffered 4 long years of sexual abuse at the hands of Penn State defensive football coach jerry Sandusky. Even though the rapist got sentenced to jail for still didn’t make out for what the victim when through.
One of the main points in this article is not only that a child rapist was exposed but that it outlines the litigation that stemmed from the Sandusky case. Three propositions came out it. The first one the Penn state litigation that mirrors others cases of sexual abuse. The second one is cases in which child safety is risked by child abusers and negligent institutions--to promote deterrence-courts and legislatures should preserve the civil accountability of the negligent actors as well as abusers. The last one in which civil cases, the child should not be considered responsible for any portion of the abuse. They were a few people besides the victim that new about the abuse. Those were assistant coach who testified during the trial that he had seen Sandusky abusing a boy 10 years ago. He said he reported the abuse at the time to numerous people in authority positions. There were four more people that new about the abuse going on a penn state. Those individuals are President Graham B. Spanicr, retired Vice President Gary Schultz, and former athletic director
