‘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.

This needs to be stated again and again for the benefit of those who keep asking the same questions again and again and making the same accusations again and again.

Really? 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?

What went on there was SICK. Everyone knew there were multiple reports of Sandusky abusing boys, and yet they did nothing for a decade while he continued taking boy after boy through the facilities, to away games, to banquets.

What kind of a so called man could see that year after year and do nothing?
