Thousands gathered for a memorial service to mark the life of the legendary coach who was fired for his inaction when told a coach had allegedly sexually abused children.
One of the most successful football coaches in US history, Paterno had recently been implicated in an alleged cover-up of child abuse at Penn State University.
Attorney said anyone who believes university officials thought his client, Jerry Sandusky, raped a 10-year-old boy and did little about it should call 1-800-REALITY.
Witness to alleged abuse of child by former university assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky, told friends that he did act to stop it before leaving the locker room shower area.
ONE OF AMERICA’S biggest child beauty pageant organisers is set to spend €20,000 staging their first-ever Irish contest in September.
The Herald reports today that beauty bosses said it will be open to “babies, toddlers and teens” and will also include a heat with kids in swimwear.
Some parents believe that contests celebrates their children’s beauty, helps them learn about camaraderie and boosts their self-confidence. While others think that beauty pageants send out the wrong kind of message to children and that the costumes and make-up involved sexualises kids.
So, today we would like to know: Would you enter your child in a beauty pageant?
