"Adoption, that's an opportunity to enrich your own life and hopefully
enrich the life of another. It's been a very positive experience for us.
A kid is a kid. Sometimes it's easier to deal with kids who don't have
your own genes."--Jerry Sandusky (NO RELATION!) in a 2001 story in the Philadelphia
Daily News. The occasion was the publication of Sandusky's book,
Touched:
The Jerry Sandusky Story, and sport columnist Stan Hochman was writing a "positive piece about a guy helping disadvantaged kids." The story continues:
"Jerry and Dottie Sandusky adopted six kids
of their own, [emphasis added] while
helping thousands of others through The Second Mile, a charitable
foundation he organized." As we know today, Sandusky is the Penn State assistant football coach accused of multiple counts of sexually abusing young boys
over a 15 year period, and that university officials covered up the scandal for years.
