Who Do You Turn Too?

Watching the Jerry Sandusky trial closely since it came out in the news, and I've been simply appalled by what he was doing. There is so much trust within any coaching staff anywhere, and the fact that he inappropriately misused that trust by taking advantage of children. Sports coaches are people you look up too, and for me they have always been the ones I can talk too if theres something on my mind. Playing basketball in Waterloo I spent about 4 hours a week with my teams coach, and there was definitely a bond that formed throughout the season, and I still talk to him today about anything. I bet Sandusky had that relationship with many of his players seeing as they spent many more hours together, and there was probably a lot of trust put in him. He led them in victory, and he led them in defeat, and that bond was probably very tight between his players and him. He saw that, and took advantage of them not only physically but also mentally. It must have been very damaging for those kids, something I certainly not relate too anything Sandusky did to his players, but it must be shattering for them. Who would they trust after that? Anyone of authority would turn into monsters. I wouldn't be able to go to anyone but my parents with anything after that, it would just be too hard to trust someone not family anymore. Sandusky not only killed his future, he may have also killed that of the young adults he abused.
