What would do, if someone came to you and said it was happening to YOUR son? Would you just report it to responsible officials, and let them handle it?
This actually happened, but it was my 12 year-old daughter, not my son. I thought it was better if I handled this myself, since I did not believe that the police would have done anything. I still think that is the case, given that this happened before society became alert to the issue. Because I handled it myself, this meant that in essence I had to take the law into my own hands, something that I later had reason to come to regret. However despite the consequences that flowed, I would not have done it differently.
If I fault anyone, I fault this McQueary character who walked in on the act, and turned away. To me, that is the primary and most unforgivable failure to act.
