child predators don't look like predators. they'd never get close to their potential victims if they did. they're friendly, fatherly or grandfatherly, upstanding citizens. it's how they get people to trust them alone with the kids.
it would be helpful if more people would realize that. too many are too trusting, especially regarding those who they should be trying hardest to protect.

I agree....but surely she must have considered how this would look once it came out that she worked with Sandusky. I realize a lot of folks close to the man are in denial, but wow....talk about putting yourself in the line of fire. I worked with a lot of child molesters, both in the prison and in mental health formats and I echo what you say, they don't have red "M" on their forehead, they usually come across as kind folks who would never be the monster that lurks within them....makes protecting our children that much more difficult. I fully understand the desire to not believe someone you know could be such a monster....but while I believe 100% in due process, I also believe in not allowing emotion to overcome rational thought...I find her lack of disclosure troubling and well...stupid. And it feeds the hate frenzy going on and digs a deeper hole for good folks in the PSU community and State College area.
