This man deserves to be strung up, as do all of the people who knew, or suspected that there was something wrong. But the parents who would send their son off with some stranger just because he's famous need to accept a certain amount of blame for this.

These kids were from troubled homes; there were probably issues with substance abuse, poverty, and G-d knows what else. Only in one instance did a parent get involved. My suspicion is that Sandusky targeted kids whose parents weren't that engaged, and may have been happy to have them out of their hair, to victimize. In fact, he "groomed" the kids for years prior to the alleged assaults.
I'm not trying to excuse what happened, but not every parent is emotionally or physically present enough to blow the whistle on that behavior. Predators know what they're doing when they target certain kids.

So many people looking the other way here.

Apparently, he's a former football player and now an employee with PSU.
