Well I would just like to start off saying that child abuse is sick and its disgusting and anyone who does it belongs in jail for life. It is terrible not only physically but emotionally as well for many people that are close to the child and even more so for the child him/her self. The videos we watched in class regarding child abuse for our training to work at St. Mary's School were very intense and that is why there great for relaying the message about how horrible child abuse is and how serious of a matter it is.
I think its pretty safe to say that we all have heard about the whole Penn State University situation. Before talking about how disgusting Jerry Sandusky, the former assistant coach for the Nittany Lions football team really is, I would like to pay a tribute to Joe Paterno because he was an amazing coach and I feel bad for the situation he was in. Based on the sources I have read, he went to his AD and told him about what he had seen therefore he did what he was supposed to do. However, I understand the firing of him because they needed to "clean house". Okay, none of what was just said excuses the fact that Sandusky is a pig, a disgusting pig who deserves nothing less than to be locked behind bars for the rest of his life. He ruined the lives on innocent children and will always be remembered for that over his accomplishments as a coach at PSU.
I think it is important to know about what happened at PSU as well as SU whether or not teaching is your desired profession. Everyone needs to be aware of warning signs and physical signals that all point towards child abuse. It is wrong and disgusting and ruins lives.
