One mother did. Her son was acting up/out and went to the son’s school to find out what was happening. The son broke down and told the whole story. Principal said she should think long and hard about reporting it. She immediately notified the authorities.

“Principal said she should think long and hard about reporting it. “

Another liberal POS. And people wonder what’s wrong with kids today. TV and rap music has nothing on the liberal indoctrination they get from public ‘education’. I mean, tith leadership like that molding young minds, what’s the worst that could happen really....

That isn't quite the way it happened. Let's make sure we get things as correct as possible. This is from the Harrisburg Patriot News:

A few weeks before her son broke down and confessed to a principal at Central Mountain High School in Clinton County that he was being molested by Jerry Sandusky — a volunteer football coach at his high school — his mother began to suspect something was wrong.

First, it was because her son was acting out. When she grounded him, she said Sandusky demanded he be able to “take care of it.”

“I said, ‘No way, he’s my kid,’” she said.

Then, her son began asking her about an online database for “sex weirdos.”

“You don’t want to just accuse people of that,” the mother said. “I called the school principal and the guidance counselor and said, if nothing else, he’s taking my son out of classes. He’s leaving the school with him. ... So I asked them to call him into the office and ask [my son] how he felt.

“They did call him to the office that day and I remember [the principal] was in tears and she said, ‘You need to come here right away.’”

Her son, then 15, broke down and told them what happened.

“They told me to go home and think about what I wanted to do, and I was not happy,” she said. “They said I needed to think about how that would impact my son if I said something like that. I went home and got [my son] and we came to [Children and Youth Services] immediately.”

Officials at Central Mountain High School have said they immediately reported the abuse, and Attorney General Linda Kelly praised them for doing the right thing.

So despite what the mother says, the school district did alert the authorities, and they were the ones the boy first broke the news to.
