It was evil to hear that a longtime coworker molested a boy in the showers and do the bare minimum of reporting it up the chain, and reportedly discouraging persuit of the matter; it was even more evil to watch for over a decade as that same coworker paraded boy after boy through the facilities, into the showers, to away games, to banquets, etc..
May God have mercy upon you. I will pray for you.
The pedo-enablers will turn up from time to time. Nothing new.
“Really? You apparently think winning footbal games is good that offsets a lot of evil.”
On what basis do you say that? Your comment is amazingly similar to the Freeh report. Conclusions made without regard to facts.
I will pray for your children. May they grow to be more educated that you.
Dreamer - you seem like a good guy who’s heart is in the right place. Would you please take the time to take a look and listen to what Thornburgh and Clement have come up with?
It’s a bit of an investment in your time, but worth it. Try to understand the reality of a “friendly predator” whose grooming skills were in the top 1% of all friendly predators. And please don’t throw around statements like “discouraging pursuit of the matter” - it’s patently false. Louis Freeh has a history of unsubstantiated conclusions and unsupported exaggerations, and has been reprimanded for it. Take a steo back and reconsider your opinion, based on facts, not media-driven drivel.
‘do the bare minimum of reporting it up the chain’
Pa state law at the time required Paterno to report the abuse to his superior at Pa State. Being an employee of a state govt. funded instution, he was not allowed to report the abuse outside of this structure.
But what’s the law got to do with this? We all know what should have been done.
