This excerpt from the Clemente Report is very disturbing. For anyone who refuses to believe that Joe didn't know - I think this story will change their minds. Would anyone blame this Mom, like they blame Joe? Would she be fired? Would she be cast as a horrible, evil person? Should all of her life's good work be erased because of this episode? Was she demonized like Joe has been? And this molestation happened literally right in front of her eyes.
Please watch the video, read the Clemente report, THEN please post your comments and let us know what you think.
Excerpt from Clemente Report:
"One of the many potential victims whom I interviewed during the investigation had a very interesting story to tell. First, I spoke with the boy’s mother. She assured me that she had already asked her approximately 6-year-old son whether Taus had molested him. He said no, so she believed there was no reason for me to talk to her son. I told her I would just like to ask a few questions and it would not take long. She reluctantly agreed. I interviewed the boy while he sat beside his mother and asked the boy a number of questions before I inquired whether Taus played any games with him. He answered that yes, they played the tickle game. I asked how the game was played. At that point, I recall the boy turning to his mother and saying, “You remember Mom, when I was sitting on his lap last time he was here talking to you. He had his hand up my shorts tickling my privates. He tickles me and I have to try not to laugh.” I looked at the mother and all the color had drained from her face. She could not believe that Taus had molested her son right in front of her very eyes and she had no idea that it had happened. She trusted Taus so much based on his profession, his reputation, and her repeated positive interactions with him that she never even questioned the fact that he liked to have her son sit on his lap."
ALL OF YOU PEOPLE, PARTICULARLY ESPN TALKING HEADS, NEED TO SHOW SOME REAL COURAGE AND ADMIT THAT YOU WERE WRONG. IT COULD HAVE JUST AS EASILY BEEN YOU INSTEAD OF JOE. OR THAT POOR MOM. CMON PEOPLE - HAVE SOME MORAL COURAGE AND ADMIT YOUR MISTAKE, AND HELP THESE GOOD PEOPLE RESTORE THE LEGACY OF ONE OF THE TRULY GREAT MEN IN THE HISTORY OF FOOTBALL.
‘What section of the law did not “allow” Paterno to report this to the actual Police rather than the guy nominally in charge of the campus police?’
That is exactly how the law read.
But please, continue your rant, you are on a roll.
Cite the language of the law then. So far a big FAIL on backing up your extraordinarily stupid claim that Peterno die the maximum allowed by law.
The current governor of Pa made a statement to that fact.
You have Google, so you can look it up.
Or, you can continue to malign a dead man.
There are no FACTS showing that Paterno did what you say he did. Only hearsay and one man’s personal conclusions.
So the fail is on you, my man.
More and more it seems it deserves the name of Pedo State.
And you are still a big FAIL in citing the relevant law.
Ditto.
Interesting. Please cite your source for the two “PSU Police” reports, one of which was apparently concealed. I’m not criticizing you, I’m genuinely interested in this allegation.

Chambers' May 7, 1998 profile was first and pegged a pedophile's grooming behavior; on May 8, 1998, Centre County Child and Youth Services (CYS) assigned psychologist John Seasock to diagnose Sandusky after the PSU shower incident. Seasock concluded Sandusky’s behavior did not match that of a pedophile’s.
Chambers found 'grooming' behavior amd Seasock did not.
Seasock was never told that Sandusky had admitted to showering with boys in the taped telephone calls with the boy's mother. Reportedly, Seasock was never told that Sandusky had kissed the boy and told him he loved him, either.
Chambers gave her report to PSU officer Ronald Scheffler, so PSU was put on notice that a psychologist thought Sandusky was demonstrating pedophile behavior in 1998. PSU police never gave it to CYS.
That's just one link; as I said, just Google 'Alycia Chambers John Seasock'. Add 'Jerry Lauro' to the search if you want only the articles with CYS saying it wouldn't have closed the 1998 case if PSU had passed along the Chambers report.
