In what sort of society does a grown man witness a heinous crime, consult with his father about what to do, and the two of them determine that the appropriate course of action is to notify the head football coach of the local state university?

In Happy Valley, where the football coach was given more respect than anyone else and held in too high regard.

Mother of Victim 1 speaks out

***

Speaking to ABC News' Good Morning America on Friday, her identity concealed, the mother said: "I want justice. I want him to be locked up.
"There's no help for someone who does this. Not like this. He needs to be put away. He needs to be put away for a long time."
'Multiple threats' She said she had asked her son why he did not inform her earlier and he replied: "'Well, I didn't know what to do? you just can't tell Jerry, no.'"

She said the right action had been taken against Mr Paterno and other Penn State officials who are accused of failing to notify the authorities.
"There's got to be some moral bearing, in my opinion. Yes, they all needed to be gone," she said.
Court papers, which refer to her son as Victim 1, describe how Mr Sandusky met the boy in 2005 when he was 11 or 12 through a charity for vulnerable children which the former coach had founded.
According to grand jury testimony, Mr Sandusky "indecently fondled Victim 1 on a number of occasions, performed oral sex on Victim 1 on a number of occasions and had Victim 1 perform oral sex on him on at least one occasion".
Texas prosecutors say they are looking into possible abuses that took place in 1999, when Mr Sandusky travelled there to see the Penn State team play.
A 27-year-old man identified as Victim 4 told the Pennsylvania grand jury that Mr Sandusky had threatened to send him home from Texas when he resisted the coach's advances.

Hm. Thought he'd be getting threats for not turning in a pedophile.

I'm pretty confused here.

I wouldn't put it past the Penn trash for concluding that this whole mess is McQ's fault. If he just toed the line like all the other good soldiers and kept his mouth shut ......

Didn't see it mentioned anywhere, and really no print stories I found, that the Texas authorities are looking into a possible incident at the Alamo Bowl in 1999, Sandusky's last game.

EDIT: Not actually at the game, but over that stay.

Investigation committee taking shape - mostly trustees.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - With Gov. Corbett in attendance, Pennsylvania State University's Board of Trustees today established a committee to pinpoint responsibility for the sex abuse scandal that has rocked the institution to its very foundation.

At the board's first public meeting since the scandal erupted a week ago, Chairman Steve A. Garban said the panel would be headed by Kenneth Frazier, president, and chief executive officer of Merck & Co., and State Education Secretary Ron Tomalis.

Frazier, who will serve as chairman, promised an "impartial, open and transparent" inquiry that will document the failures that occurred, identify who was responsible and recommend any needed measures to insure it never happens again.

The committee will be composed mostly of trustees and the process of identifying other members will begin today, he said.

The NCAA has plenty of rules covering that. That said, there's little evidence of actual recruiting in that article beyond a little praise from a creepy dude who happens to know a thing or two about linebackers.

Who liked hanging out and watching high school boys, and marveled at how gifted they were and how they moved.

It's actually less creepy if it's a recruiting violation.
