Sue Paterno to have her say on husband's legacy

Child sex abuse thrives in secrecy and secret systems that allow it to continue to this day,

While Sue Paterno tries to restore her husband's reputation, she is doing more harm to the victims who have been sexually abused. Her action also makes if more difficult for any child of sex abuse to even think about speaking up. And for that matter, it gives fear and hesitation to anyone, who has knowledge or suspects a child being sexually abused, to pick up the phone and call police.

Children are safest when child predators and those who enable and conceal their crimes are held responsible.
Honor the victims, not the wrongdoers... so that no other child will ever be given the life sentence of being sexually abused.

"SNAP (The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) is the world's oldest and largest support group for clergy abuse victims. SNAP was founded in 1988 and has more than 12,000 members. Despite the word priest in our title, we have members who were molested by religious figures of all denominations, including nuns, rabbis, bishops, teachers, Protestant ministers and increasingly, victims who were assaulted in a wide range of institutional settings like orphanages, summer camps, athletic programs, Boy Scouts, etc."
