Create safety policies that protect youths

As the trial and sentencing of Jerry Sandusky comes to an end, I can honestly say that I am relieved. Some form of justice has been done.

Moreover, the details of this case have been spread across the front page, sports pages, magazines, radio and television and through all forms of social media. The image of his face is now seared across my imagination. I feel done, and I am ready to move on.  

But in good conscience, I can’t do that. The courage of those young men to come forward and talk about the details of what was done demands that we match that courage with our own.
