It took a day to decide the best idea was not to call the police and tell them a naked 58-year-old man was in a shower with a naked ten-year-old boy doing something inappropriate of a sexual nature, but to tell an administrator and never to follow up on it. Pretty sure that by the time JoPa found out about it, the incident was all over. Not like he could run over there and stop it, right? RIGHT? However, as anyone who deals with kids would tell you, the mere accusation should've been enough to take every precaution to make sure that it COULDN'T happen even if it DIDN'T. Sandusky should've been immediately banned from the showers, and a new policy of having no minors in the showers w/o multiple chaperones implemented immediately (if they were allowed to shower at all), for instance. That's what I can't understand -- why the mere whiff of an accusation wasn't enough to make prudent policy changes? By the time this accusation was made, the "ritual child abuse" stuff was well-known to everyone...

BTW, this is the same Penn State that found that Dr. Mann didn’t violate any academic standards with is “Hockey Stick” (Al Gore used it) global warming papers.

The culture of the place was to believe that they are the side of the angels, and therefore they had a tough time dealing with accusations of gross misconduct. Kinda like having a tough time believing that the angelic honor student really did get pregnant, etc.

Not like he could run over there and stop it, right? RIGHT?

No. McQueary was the 6'2", 225-pound coward who should have stopped it on the spot. I wonder how he sleeps? He didn't know what to do and had to ask his dad . . . why? Because what he did would affect Penn State football.

Just as a janitor, a Korean War veteran, saw Sandusky performing oral sex on a young boy in the Penn State football showers in 2000 and was too scared to stop it or to report it. And Sandusky drove around the building a couple of times after leaving . . . until 3:00 a.m. . . . checking, I assume, to see if the police were called. Of course not. It's Penn State football.
