What does Penn State have in the way of training to recognize signs of sexual abuse,

How about a "rhythmic slapping sound" of flesh on flesh coming from the showers?

The law (mandated reporters) in PA doesn’t say you have to report to your boss. It says you have to report to DHS. The whole pack of Penn State administrators and coaches are guilty of a crime, legal and moral.

"Is Michael Mann *single*? (OTOH, Sandusky was married, right?)"

Sandusky is married to an "enabler" of his "activities", from everything I've read.

Michael Mann appears to be "single", as I can find no reference to a "wife" in his bio or anywhere else. It appears as if he has a 4 year-old daughter based on this article I found:

This puff piece in 2010 only mentions a picture of his 4-year-old daughter on his desk. (No picture of a "wife")

Climate expert in the eye of an integrity storm (Michael Mann) ".....Behind his desk were a picture of his 4-year-old daughter..."

Wikipedia doesn't mention any "wife":
Michael E. Mann (born December 28, 1965

) Per Zaba search, I found this:

This could be him as this town is about 2 miles from the State College campus:

MICHAEL E & LORRAINE C SANT MANN Born DEC 1965
240 S CHURCH ST
BOALSBURG, PA 16827 (434) 244-9955

If this is him, Lorraine may be the mother of his daughter mentioned in the article above.

SPOKEO shows him as "single":

Michael E Mann
Male | Mid 40's
Phone: (814) 466-****
Address: ****** S Church St
Location: Boalsburg, PA 16827

Did the police ever arrest the person who was witnessed having sex with a 10 year old boy?

Sandusky was arrested a week ago today. He was released without having to post any bail.

I agree with you posting this. Yes it is graphic...but with some of those involved using words like “horseplay” I think the actual description of what was witnessed needs to be out there. The University not taking immediate action after hearing this described just floors me. All involved should have made sure this was really dealt with, and didn’t. I am not any part of a football fan, but cannot imagine what all these adults were thinking while children were being molested- and they knew it.

Sense of proportion? Do you have any idea the impact that being raped has on a child?

Are you arguing that murder is a lesser crime than rape?

I’m asserting that attempting to find some “sense of proportion” between hundreds of people being killed and a man who starts a charitable organization to provide himself with boys to rape is beyond bizarre. It’s like saying that what Jeffrey Dahmer (sp?) did wasn’t all that bad because the Holocaust killed millions of Jews.

The bizarre Holocaust / cannibalism comparison is yours, not mine, and you are welcome to it.

I do suggest that murder is worse than rape. That isn’t an unusual position - consider the relative legal penalties for the two crimes.

And I consider the hundreds of killings by US-government-armed cartels more important than the events at Penn State.

Careful readers will note that my remarks do not constitute a defense of rapists or those who enable them.

When it comes to raping a child, I couldn't disagree more.

“What does Penn State have in the way of training to recognize signs of sexual abuse, responsibilities....”

A man has responsabilities exclusive of training and operating procedure.

Look at all the stories about adult female teachers with minor males...do you EVER see them referred to as ‘pedophiles’ or ‘pederasts’? Guess we need categories for all this crap...

Recognizing what is going on when you see a middle-aged man buggering a 10-year-old boy doesn’t require special training.
