PENNSYLVANIA

Even the high winds and torrential rains of Hurricane Sandy couldn’t keep people from attending the Child Sexual Abuse Conference held Monday and Tuesday at The Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel.
Of the 500 people scheduled to attend, 420 made the journey despite the inclement weather. About 20 percent of attendees were from the Penn State community, but the remaining 80 percent came from all over the country — as far west as California and as far south as Florida.
The majority of attendees can agree that the trip was well worth it.
Faith Ingraham, of Corning, N.Y., works with her church’s ministry to help raise awareness on child sexual abuse. She has been to similar events in the past, but said this one was unique in the fact that the issue is so relevant to the area.
