Imagine the courage as a teenage boy that would take, he must have felt so much shame and pain and conflict within himself. This boy is what a real man looks like, it takes guts and character to do what he did, his mother should be more proud of him then ever, raised a hero in a society of filled with cowards like that principle and assistant coach.
I was molested at 9 yrs of age. I felt weird and disgusted for many yrs. But getting counseling help me. It showed me it wasn’t my fault. I was a child a dirty older adult was the problem. Please anyone out there who’s been violated, please come forward.
I consider this young Hero to be an admirable person and one worthy of respect. I also respect his Mother who didn't back down to the school when they subtly threatened her to keep quiet. I think the principal who didn't follow the law with the mandatory reporting should be fired and her educator's license revoked forevermore. And I thank Chris Cuomo for doing this report.
How many feelings or emotions do you go through in a day that you don’t understand or confused by, not everyone investigates or follows their intuition or suspicions
Wow imagine how many of the kids could have been saved from the same horrific torture and sexual abuse that this boy was subjected to if people would have listened to him and stop these monsters
@@davidh9844 Parents? The kid had no parents, he had a single mother who was probably too wrapped up in her own personal drama instead of paying attention to her son and what the hell was going on. I suspect most of the boys that were victimized all came from similar backgrounds of single mom/divorced homes. I strongly doubt that an attentive father would have allowed his son to be sleeping over at a grown man's house. Mom was busy getting hammered or screwing around while coach raped her kid.
When it comes to child sexual abuse, people SHOULD take matters into their own hands. I'm a very conservative guy, but I refuse to own a gun. I've made it very clear to my kids and my friends, that if I ever learned of someone putting a hand on my child, I would buy a gun, seek him out, and kill him. Period. To the best of my knowledge, no one has ever laid a finger on one of my kids.
Wow and parents didn't wonder why a grown man had sleep overs at his house? For that matter what of Sandusky's wife? She had to suspect something. This man is so horrible...glad this brave young man came forth.
The principal and the teaching staff also have a responsibility of being a child abuse reporters mandated reporters so why are they not in jail for not reporting
I am glad he had the courage to speak out, the conflicts he had were astronomical, I'm glad his mom believed him and had the courage to fight the corrupt system that exists in schools and sports, which continue to this day, to cover up sexual assault and rape of young people by those entrusted with their well-being. This young man is a great example for all those in similar situations to follow!
Going public was the bravest thing to do. I believe you and it was a crime. You have nothing to be ashamed of and all that knew should be in jail themselves. For the jail you live in do to the abuse. you suffered.
The Priest cleared that up with many due to their forced widespread exposure. So there are just those who choose to turn a blind eye left. So I guess you are right.
As the man (Gen 1:26-28) KJV, a husband (Gen 2:21-25) and a father (Gen 3:16), the minister of God (Rom 13), teacher (Eph 4) and one of the survivors who was bullied in school, I am so sorry this happened to you. If I could have protected you from being harmed by "it", I would have, but I can not be everywhere all at once. (1 John 4)
@@FUtube-h2y I agree. I was telling my wife, I can not teach the word of God, then live contrary to the word of God. That would make me a hypocrite. That is not a good title to have. Eph 5:22-33, 6:1-4
I’m just starting my path to freedom from surviving child sexual abuse. It’s a stereotypical story. Member of the family. Trusted...Etc. It went on for years. I was groomed. The person who did this...normalized it. I felt responsible. I, only until recently, felt like it was my fault. Now, looking back, I see I was groomed and basically shaped into what he wanted. I’m currently so confused. I’m experiencing emotions I’ve never felt before that are terrifying and cold. I’m angry at myself because it was my responsibility to speak up. I kept silent out of desperation because, just a year before he started molesting and raping me, my other brother past away. I was scared of losing more family members. More pain. It started when I was nine. I’m watching videos about this because, I honestly don’t know what to do or how to do it. I’m scared of opening up. I’m experiencing intense emotions over this. I’ve cried. Threw stuff. How could I be so oblivious. How could, or better yet, WHY DID I ALLOW THIS? I think I know but is that really right? I’m so confused. For all my life after the sexual abuse started, most of the times if someone touches me unexpectedly, I jump instinctively. Just a pat on the back, or a hand on the shoulder. I thought it was a result of just being jumpy. Now I’m realizing, it’s because when someone innocently touches me, I jump and am startled because my body expects trauma. I hate that about me. I hate me. It’s going to be so difficult.
Oh dear, I hope you are better now. You should stop judging yourself. How can you say that you allowed that? You were small child, 9 years, 10, 11 even more. You were vulneruble because of the brother too. No one is ever guilty for being a victim. It is important to know that and to go to a good therapist. Also try a meditation. I am a yoga teacher and I know the benefits of meditation very well. There are also a lot of videos on youtube for mental strenghth. You will be better and stronger if you work on that, not to ignore it. I wish you a full recovery and you must know: it is not your fault, never! Lots od love and peace in your life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@1976athletico what’s that going to do? Seriously. What will that do? Nothing. They won’t get in trouble. Past statute of limitations. It will only stir up horrible feelings. It won’t do a damn thing. One of them is past away anyway.
First thing, please try to seek therapy if you're able to so that you can possibly learn how to handle these emotions before they eat through you like acid 🙏🏾💙
@@ElectricSpokesYou should definitely report to a trusted adult like your parents or the police in that case, trust me, it might seem scary now but it’ll be the start of the peace you need for the rest of your life.
It's fully sick. Feel bad for him hope it opens people eyes to know it's not only happening to women men too wish I had the power to stop this from happening to anyone.
Joe knew about it! They all knew about it! What a bunch of sniveling little cowards they all were. Boys were being raped for years under their noses for Christ sake!
What has being an Icon for something unrelated got to do with believing someone concerning a different aspect of their life? Does celebrity status change the law of human behaviour and conduct to excuse not at least finding out. Protecting anyone based on status is a temptation to use that status to do bad things. It is no co-incidence that many celebrities fall foul of this weakness and inexcusable advantage to have other people treated with lesser value. and take advantage of it. The number of cases alone make it a fact not a conspiracy or speculation. Imagine government officials with even greater protection, what could they or would they not do.
I stood up to a man in work who repeatedly tried to be inappropriate and touch me, out of everyone who saw the incident that happened one day when he cursed me out no one wanted to be my witness or to help me often that is how it is when u initially stand up for the truth and justice you stand alone and unbelieved.
In class 12th .. I was going to my physics tuition classes ...there was jam on road( almost 100 people's with some vehicles also) when the jam opens up people's of both way hurry a middle class boy(age like 24) come with his cycle and a girl(like 18 or 19) with a black mask on her face. The cycle tire touches her pant and a little mud got on her pants ... she immediately SLAPS him multiple time ..he kept his hands on his face and go to another way( and 100s of people were watching) not a single person step up... after 5 min an old person come near him .... he was standing near a pole...then I also came from there to my tuition ( when I told this my friends they show no response).... I don't know what men feels but why don't our women step forward to protect our men( i know they want... no one is weak) MEN ALSO NEED HELP!! Because I can't find many videos on men molestation as youtube is MALE dominating..... I wrote it there...
Lord i pray this never happens to my son cause I’m going to prison for capital murder!!! God bless this man who’s innocence was stolen by a predator & had the courage to tell his story on national TV
If that were the case, someone could just claim you raped them and you get life in prison. Would you like that to happen to you? People do lie about rape all the time.
Why didnt the coach who walked in on sandusky and a poor kid, go to the police?. He saw his superiors did nothing. Go to kid's mom, go to police. I would think kids would have stomach aches, and refuse to go to camp & games. In that day and age mothers should have talked to their kids about bad touch & tell. This wasnt the 1940s. It was 80s- the 90s. We knew about chomos then. Im not blaming the kids but adults.
Why are we talking about stuff like this so much and not the real rape that happens in the military every day? Tbose men are completely helpless. Some of them are only 18 and are raped but can't go to anyone for help because nobody will do anything about it. If a kid is raped he or she can easily call the police or something and then be saved. The ones in the military never get any help at all. Plus this happened a long time ago. If people would focus on what's happening now, maybe things would get better. Everyone is stuck in the past.
i guess you do not know what happens to child molesters in jail :) i worked as a counsellor, and helped youth in the court system who were molested as children :) lets just say in jail...its an eye for an eye-no one hates criminals who are child molesters know more than the criminals themselves who have been locked up for a long time
🤔.... hey Fredo... gonna investigate your brother next?? Does he get a pass cuz he’s “bigger” than Coach Creep?? You’re the weak brother Fredo... you know it... the world knows it. 🇺🇸🇺🇸 #NoMasks
No, you will. This man will never be the same! I don't care how much therapy he gets, there will always be that lingering question, "Maybe I really wanted it. Maybe I still want it. Maybe I imagined most of it. Maybe I'm queer. What if my friends think I'm queer?" No. Money will never compensate for what those kids went through. And adults, who are supposed to be protectors, let it happen over and over again. Money can't fix that. And shame on you for not comprehending that.
