Dear
SNAP members,
I say “thank God” for a person like Mike McQueary. (And, a website like
SNAP.) I don’t know, and hate to think how many more children (and their parents) would have suffered at the hands of Sandusky, and others there like him, if Mr. McQueary had not been willing to report the incident he saw, and then persevere to trial and conviction, even after his initial report was ignored and otherwise covered up and he was nearly completely vilified for being a “whistleblower” about such a heinous criminal predator. *(please see link to new article about current status of Mike McQueary and family)
And, thank goodness the whole “Sandusky scandal” made the Pennsylvania legislature think about all children who have been, and/or are currently being afflicted and abused by pedophiles.
Personally, I believe that this phenomenon is worldwide, (i.e. “global” in the current vernacular). And what’s more, I believe that amongst the primary places pedophiles are active predators, is in the Catholic Church, today, 2013.
I believe that it will be necessary to have new pertinent laws in each of the individual countries, but also to have the criminal action brought against the pope and the Catholic Church at the
ICC for crimes against humanity, commenced.
Since I am an American and have been, my whole life, I will be extremely glad to have the
USA (including current and former Catholics here) lead the fight against child sexual abuse, that sadly and heinously often includes not only rape, but production of child pornography, and ultimately, death of the victim; I will be glad that our country’s system of justice can and will be designed to help make sure everything is done to see the day when the scourge of pedophiles and the destruction of our children and our society and world, is
STOPPED.
Please keep up the good work and continue the battle through and on, even as Mr. McQueary brought himself forward to do.
Best regards,
Lani Halter
Please remember my motto, which is to remind others of: Matthew 18:6, Mark 9:41 and Luke 17:2.
