NE child molestation case

"We at NOSSA disagree with Mr. Mangano 100% and he has been removed from his position as Secretary with the National Organization of Short Statured Adults."

This doesn't say that Mr. Mangano is no longer in the organization; just that he is no longer Secretary. Until there is a statement advising that Mr. Mangano is no longer welcome in NOSSA I will continue to update your page with this story and information. In my opinion you have a pedophile in your organization that the world needs to know about.

  • Firstly, I don't know how many NOSSA organizers are actually responsible for the content of this page. I am not a member of NOSSA in any way, but I am interested in helping Wikipedia which is how I have come onto reading this article. Secondly, Mr. Mangano was the Secretary of NOSSA and made public comments picked up by the Associated Press concerning the NE case of another man. NOSSA was in no way linked to the case other than by the statements made by Mangano, who himself wasn't the guilty party of the trial in Nebraska. ju66l3r 03:53, 11 June 2006 (UTC)


I do hope you enjoy your recent update regarding Joe Mangano’s comments regarding the sexual abuse of children (Joe Mangano is the Secretary of the National Organization of Short Statured Adults).

Since your secretary, represented your organization as clearly more concerned about what would happen to this felon in prison than the abused 12 year old child, I thought it appropriate to link your page to NAMBLA. Another organization that is more concerned with the abusers than the children who are abused.

In my humble opinion, whatever this guy has coming to him in prison is not enough. Maybe he’ll learn what it feels like to be raped and abused, just as he did to that child.

hello,

Several people have attempted to create an article on the national organization of short statured adults. Each time any contributor attempts to list the names of the founders of this organization, the editor "Zoe" deletes the names under the "vanity" rules. This is absolutely ridiculous. Most, if not all, of the other articles on organizations have their founder's names listed. Why are the founder's of this organization prohibited from mention? And the issue is not that the article is being written by the founder's themselves as the contributor: JerryM is not a founder. Listing the names of the founders of an organization is hardly "vanity" in any way, shape, or form. This editor "Zoe" is either biased against this organization or completely misunderstanding the intent of the contributors. I have already attempted to contact/talk to the editor Zoe, but have received no response.

Where is the issue taking place? - On wikipedia page: National Organization of Short Statured Adults. Who's involved? - Users: Mattfromnossa, JerryM, StevenG77 and Zoe What's going on? - Editor claims listing names of this organization's founders is "vanity" under Wikipedia policy. Contributor disputes this assertion. What would you like to change about that? - Because the names of the founder's of this organization are an important part of the history of this organization. Other organizations have the names of their founders listed in articles.

What

I agree that short statured persons need some considerations, but...who was considering the child? And how long before he disappears and does this again?
