Mom gave permission?
From the article:
"Paterno should be able to finish out the year and retire in honor ..."
It would just kill you if Paterno is squeaky clean, wouldn’t it? Why?
If you think something so horrible is happening, you move the heavens and the earth if you have to, to get it stopped.
That number of $3 billion over 16 years is in the same “ballpark”.
The time for honor has come and gone.
I honestly don't know how Paterno, and McQueary, can show up at the stadium on Saturday. They should both be in hiding at this point.
I don't think so. She had had previous talks with Sandusky basically telling him to 'butt out' of her son's life. She went to the school concerned about why her son was being taken out of class by Sandusky.
Sandusky was taped by the county investigators in 1998 about molesting boys. What did Paterno do?
The school released a statement that we should all remember that this is Seniors' day and not let this unfortunate event overshadow our celebration.
What does the rest of the article say? I stopped reading after that.

Not at all...if he is squeaky-clean, that is good. Let truth be known.

Some of the truth. The guys that cleaned the locker room observed and discussed Sandusky's molestation of boys in the locker room but were afraid to report it. Why did Joe allow that?
The whole thing is eerily reminiscent of the Catholic Church scandals. To me it seems that the situation is exactly parallel. An institution that should be about good things and good values being subverted and perverted by bad people and other people that cover up for them. Seems that the lesson that the coverup is (almost) worse than the crime is about to be relearned in Happy Valley.
Apparently you have not read Pennsylvania law. The law give specific permission for anyone involved to report it to the authorities regardless of other actions taken.
That's how it works in a cover-up. Never any formal feedback. Spanier tells Schultz to take care of it and Schultz says 'done'.
Paterno sees that this child molester has continued access to bring boys into the locker room and looks the other way since he knows it has been properly investigated and responded to appropriately.
My JoPa WAS squeaky clean.
However my JoPa, after learning what my coach had done, would have gone immediately to find Sandusky, smacked him against a wall and called the cops while I waited there with him. Then my JoPa would have had a very heated discussion with McQueary about protecting a child being raped in a shower.
My JoPa would not have given a rat’s ass about stupid rules about reporting sexual assault.
No, that’s how it works in life. Please document a policy in any organiztion, anywhere, that works otherwise.
In some states the law reads “shall” while in others it reads”may”. My preference is for “shall”. But if the PA law reads “may” that’s exactly what it means - there is no requirement to report. Organizational policy reads “shall” so unless the law requires otherwise, people usually opt for the policy option. Now, the permission to report to law enforcement extends right up the chain. Does the PA law grant civil immunity to the reporter?(just curious)
