In 2011, I was a junior in high school. The news about Jerry Sandusky rocked the news world and it was hard to comprehend. It was hard to comprehend how a scandal of this magnitude could happen and to children. I just remember feeling sick at the thought.
The quote from The Patriot News: “I’m infuriated that people would not report something like that,” she said. “I still can’t believe it. I’m appalled. I’m shocked. I’m stunned. There’s so many words. I’m very mad. They could have prevented this from happening,” wraps up the sentiment of how I reflect back on the Sandusky Scandal. It is disheartening that the truth took so long to come out and how many people missed the opportunity to come clean.
