I came across across information on this story the end of July after the Sandusky verdict came in. I found them on twitter.
http://americanfreepress.net/?p=5116,
http://www.yardbird.com/tv_town_officials_cant_stop_pedophile_sex_ring.htm. Then last week I found a couple of stories that I have posted below on the fact that Postal Inspectors and the Fed's are both investigating the possibility that this story is true. Mark Madden also spoke of it on
The Mully and Hanley Show http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2011/11/10/rumor-sandusky-pimped-out-young-boys-to-rich-donors/
“It’s going to get worse before it gets better,” Mark Madden of 105.9 The X in Pittsburgh said on 670 The Score.
“The one thing I hear is being investigated right now, and I hasten to
add this as only a rumor, but I know of at least two prominent
columnists who are investigating the story, is that The Second Mile, and
there’s no nice way to say this, pimped out young boys to wealthy
donors.”
If this story is true it is pretty disgusting. There were stories like this back in the late 1980's early 1990's
http://educate-yourself.org/tg/franklincoverupexcerptwashtimesphoto.shtml,
http://www.voxfux.com/features/bush child_sex_coverup/franklin.htm that I found when I was doing research into the coverup (aka debunking) of ritual abuse and child sexual abuse. I was wanting to know how it was possible to coverup/debunking could have happened. Especially when so many in the late 1980's and early 1990's were telling their stories. Then I came across the Franklin coverup and it helped me to understand how this could happen. Of course the False Memory S(word) Foundation was started in 1992 and they played a major role in the debunking of child sexual abuse and ritual abuse
http://www.fmsfonline.org/. The media at the time was more interested in the false memory s(word) foundation then in believing the survivors of child sexual and ritual abuse. This made it extremely hard for survivors and those that worked with survivors to get their stories out. Every time a story was put out the FMS(word)F jumped on the story and not only debunked the survivor but tried and in some cases debunked the therapist/mental health professional who worked with the survivor.
I have found it really interesting in the past nine months with both the Sandusky and Catholic Church scandal in Penn that Pamela Freyd or any of FMS(word)F advisory board members have remained silent. I attribute this to the fact that child sexual abuse is now in the forefront of many people's minds. There has been a national conversation on this topic since November 2011 when the Sandusky scandal broke. I have often thought about during this whole process what would have happened if these stories broke in the late 1980's or early 1990's. The FMS(word)F had a lot of power and were able to use this power to shut survivors up. There are several bloggers who blog on this topic, their are non-main stream media who have covered these stories since day one. And lastly the main stream media jumped on the bandwagon. If this story were to have broke in the late 1980's early 1990's it probably would have been covered up. This may have been one of the reasons in 1998 when one of the mother's of a victim went to police that the story wasn't pursued appropriately. In 1998 do to the hype by FMS(word)F and their advisory board members and supporters. There was the belief that child sexual abuse was not traumatic. The FMS(word)F and their advisory board members had done numerous articles on how children who were sexually abused and the fact that the abuse wasn't traumatic. They have also done articles on how "forgetting" traumatic events was impossible. In my opinion this lead to why the main stream media didn't pick up these stories. Dr. Elizabeth Loftus who has been on FMS(word)F advisory board for many years did the following article where she compares child sexual abuse memories to kidnapping of space aliens and the salem which hunt.
http://www.ipt-forensics.com/journal/volume6/j6_1_4.htm. In this next article Dr. Loftus is quoted as saying that you can't be sexually assaulted and repress the traumatic event (traumatic amnesia).

I am thankful that at this point FMS(word)F is pretty much debunked. There has been enough long standing empirical evidence that there are long term consequences of child sexual abuse. The Ace Study
http://www.acestudy.org/ is one among several that shows the long term effects of trauma as a child, and it's impact when the child becomes an adult. Judges are allowing "repressed" memories into court cases. Something that was virtually unheard of prior to 2009. While I feel that if the story is true that Sandusky used the Second Mile as a "pimping" ground for young children is horrible and needs to be told. If it is proven true it will give credence to survivors like myself who have survived being ritualistically abused. With sexual abuse being at the heart of the "rituals." I am also grateful that the FMS(word)F has no bearing on the outcome of the investigation into this story. I have said before that, "there are bad people who do terrible things to children" and some of those people have power and privilege behind them. They have had the ability to coverup what they have done. I am thankful there are dogged people that won't let this story go and have worked hard to bring it out. I am also grateful that the main stream media is looking at this story. The more the truth comes out, the more those with power and privilege who wish to do bad things to children, won't have their safety net to hide behind anymore. The fact that children are being believed when they share that they were sexually abused and aren't being "debunked" is one of the catalysts for stories like this coming to light. In gratitude, Rosie
