If the Sanduskys adopted 5 boys and a girl . . .

where the hell are they? Why aren't they testifying on behalf of their father? They fostered several other children also. Where are they? Why aren't they vouching for this warm, nurturing couple? Walking in and out of court with dear old Dad? Seen supporting Mom during this trying episode? Why aren't any of the children Sandusky didn't sexually abuse at the Second Mile saying anything on his behalf? Am I missing something again? Me thinks there's more to this story than anyone wants to fathom, and it all makes me sick.

Remember when the story broke last year and he had that really creepy call in interview on the Bob Costas show - with his attorney present no less - and pretty much all but admitted to molesting kids? And then remember when it was learned that his attorney - at age 50 - fathered a kid with an 18 year old? It's a pretty damn disturbing statement when your attorney is just as big of a creep. It's this type of thing that part of me suspects Sandusky wanted to get caught and that he'd hire an attorney who'd prove the case. The more this story unfolds the weirder it gets.

Which would be very hard to do in this case.

After listening to all the horrible things that happened to these young men, they must be sick to their stomachs by the end of the day
