This is a wonderful post, Kaslin. Thanks!
I wonder if Sandusky is part of a ‘ring’ of like-minded animals (like NAMBLA members maybe?)
It would explain how he got away with so much for so long
Normal people already know these common sense things, such as when you witness a child being raped, you intervene to the best of your physical ability to stop it.
I'm 66 years old but if I see a man twice my size and half my age raping a child, I will attack him with anything available.
"9. Don't call Child Protective Services -- investigating crimes is not the function of CPS. If the police determine that CPS should be involved, they will make that decision. "
CPS is there to protect mothers and children from evil fathers- no matter how little evil he actually exhibits or how much the mother exhibits
Good post. “Keep the focus on the child..” Absolutely.
Bravo! to attempting to fix the problem instead of beating the proverbial dead horse of accusations.
When you are an eyewitness to a child being sodomized by an adult:
1) Pull out your firearm.
2) Kill the SOB where he stands.
3) Claim ignorance on how the sharpened screwdriver got in his hand and how it matches none of the brand new tools in your garage.
4) Claim self defense. (Its obvious that the pevert didn't want to be "outed" so he tried to kill you, right? RIGHT?!)
Enjoy the rest of your day and let your lawyer do the rest of the talking.
“Don’t call Child Protective Services — investigating crimes is not the function of CPS. If the police determine that CPS should be involved, they will make that decision.”
I was listening to the Mike Smerconish show last night and Bo Biden, the attorney general of DE, said that their law specifies that people are to report child abuse to CPS rather than the police because CPS knows how to investigate these crimes. If CPS feels a crime has been committed, they will inform the police.
Apparently several states have these laws.
1. If you see a child being raped, pick up a pipe and beat the living sh-t out of the rapist.
2. If the rapist is still breathing, repeat step number 1.
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking.
Stop the abuse; call the police (not CPS); it is a crime; let the police decide which other agencies to get involved.
Absolutely idiotic column. First of all, like nearly every sanctimonious scavenger with an opinion on this, they’re attacking the wrong people. Joe DID contact the police - Schultz was the police commissioner. Joe DID put the witness in touch with them because Joe didn’t KNOW anything other than what he was told. He wouldn’t be able to testify. Paterno didn’t take away his keys either - the University did. Paterno doesn’t have power over ex-employees. All of these columns start with the false premise that Paterno not only knew everything but controlled everything.
Also, you do NOT under any circumstances EVER approach the subject of an investigation. This is when guilty parties disappear. Many well-meaning people have ruined investigations by approaching the suspect. These people are advocating something that actually would allow the alleged rapist to continue elsewhere.
I was going to post virtually the same thing. #3 would be find anyone who enabled it and beat the $#!+ out of them.
The one thing is don’t agree with is “don’t call Child Protective Services.”
Yes, DO call Child Protective Services. All too often the po po agrees with the institution. And Child Protective Services are the ones that can properly conduct the forensic interview of the child to preserve and not taint the evidence, unlike the interviewers at the police dept. Other than that, yes, good article.
What a superb article by Michael Reagan. Sadly, some here who have sipped the Paterno Kool-Aid will claim that the “media” is being unfair to Saint Joe.
Joe is not even a good guy, as much as a saint.
Are you serious? “Kick” the worm while he’s “down”? You mean just because he ran a successful sports program he should be excused for letting children’s lives be ruined?
You have a serious problem.
Ditto... saved me the typing.
It does not appear to be in the United States, but in Nazi Germany. I feel sorry for the people of the State of Delaware.
To all heterosexuals that have defended the perversion of homosexuality. The victims of Penn State sex scandal. Thank you!
How does coach Joe Paterno report a perverted homosexual. Without being labeled homophobic?
