Second Mile Staffers Quit Over Penn State Sex Abuse Scandal
By COLLEEN CURRY
Nov. 17, 2011

The outrage over the Penn State sex abuse scandal has spilled over into anger at the management of the Second Mile charity, prompting an exodus of some furious board members and volunteers.

The Second Mile, founded by accused child molester Jerry Sandusky, refused to say how many of its board members have resigned, although the group's former CEO Jack Raykowitz was forced to resign last week.

The anger has rippled out from its headquarters in State College. At least three members of the Second Mile's south central chapter in York, Pa., said they have quit in recent weeks over their outrage that Sandusky was allowed to still be involved with the organization although executives knew about sexual child abuse allegations against him.

Sounds like they’re trying to CYA.

I would imagine that they are on the witness and deposition lists.

Day 48 Of The FReepathon
Do You Know Why?

There are loyal posters that donate every FReepathon. Some donate several times during every 'thon. But others never donate. Why?

1 My enemies haven't been zotted.
2 The owner doesn't support my candidate.
3 FR won't "upgrade" to "Like" buttons and blinky crap.
4 Someone else will donate.
5 My friend was zotted.
6 I lost my job and have no income.

Only one of those is a legitimate reason.

Support It Or Lose It

Probably. But, like the perp, they are free to travel.

More and more of this is going to come out. This organization was large and some very very influential and notworthy people belonged, donated, and were supported by it.

Who knew what when...and why wasn't Sandusky kicked out? A lot of people are going to want answers to those questions because their reputations are all wrapped up in it.

The usual crowd will be along any minute to blame me and the rest of the “pitchfork and torch carrying lynch mob” for these people leaving their positions.

Sandusky informed the Board in 2008 when the investigation began. Sounds like they didn't do a darn thing about it. That will not look good in the upcoming lawsuits.

When your charity to help troubled youth is revealed to be a front for a pedophilia victim recruitment system - it is time for any man or woman of good conscience to leave - THREE YEARS LATER!!!/s

'Second Mile' Records from 2000-2003 Missing; Prosecutors Fear It Could Hurt Case

Are you kidding me? They knew he had allegations against him yet allowed him contact with all those vulnerable boys? This makes me sick.

There should be such a charge such as accessory to child molestation. This is not an area to just be in denial about.

My husband and I very support athletics for disadvantaged kids and if I even got a whiff that any of those attending to the kids had the slightest anything against them I'd be right there dealing with it in the more stringent way to protect those kids.

If he spends a day in prison, it will surprise the hell out of me. For that matter, if he is convicted, I wil be surprised.

Yes, they should have suspended all youth contact with Sandusky pending the investigation. They also should have done reviews of all staff to make sure there were no other suspicious activities. And their policies regarding contact with kids should have been reviewed and tightened. Apparently, none of that was done.

Just an amazing coincidence that Second Mile records for that time period vanished?

I’m sorry to be so repetitive...he IS a pedophile, but that’s not all.

“Pedophile” softens and indeed OBSCURES the real nature of this particular abomination.

He is a homosexual boy-lover.

That is a PEDERAST.

Every time any one of us hears this...pedophile....child abuser ‘tag’ thrown out should note the correct

differential.

Cultural Marxists and homosexual-enablers can have nothing to say.
(and it’s a beautiful thing when homo’s mouth is SHUT, I daresay)

I do not believe a sex ring can last that long without some bodies being buried somewhere.
