You mean the kid Paterno never saw? Should he be a police investigator or was it Shultz’s job to make sure an investigation took place? There is a reason Paterno didn't get charged. He did not see anything and reported it to those he was supposed to... I don't know why this is so hard for folks to understand

Do you really not see why it is so "hard for folks to understand" why someone in Paterno's position and authority didn't follow up? Let me put my question in a slightly different way: What if it was Paterno's own son in that locker room - do you imagine for a nanosecond that he would have simply passed it on and washed his hands of the matter - because he didn't "see anything"?

Of course not. He would have seen to it that the matter was thoroughly investigated and that Sandusky was fired and duly charged.

Paterno couldn't fire Sandusky ; he hadn't worked for him in four years.

Paterno's position was head football coach, not head detective. He took the story his assistant coach told him to those who were responsible and were indicted after a three year investigation.
