"These kids weren't forced to be with Sandusky, he worked for a charity for low lifes. They chose to hang out with him. You really think these juvenille delinquents wouldn't complain if they were being mistreated?"

I find this part of your comments reprehensible. 10 year old children are NOT "low lifes" because they come from poor or broken homes.

They did not choose or control that. There are many reasons a child may not report or even fully understand sexual abuse -- talk about blaming the victim. If dealing with an older age group there is certainly more room for discussing individual choices and responsibility. But 10 year olds are highly dependent upon the adults around them, for food and shelter, and also for guidance about moral and immoral distinctions, etc. If a "revered" coach and mentor like Sandusky was grooming these kids as reported, they *might* (would) have a difficult time knowing how to react, how to get out of a situation, especially if they lacked a solid home life.

Do you think a kid "fully understands" pain? Do you think they know whether or not they like it?

Kids weren't "dependent" on Sandusky for anything. The government was feeding, clothing and providing section 8 housing for them. dependent
