Who is then supposed to relay the information to Joe Paterno, correct?
are foster parents mandated reporters in PA?
Yes. As are school teachers. As of 12/31/2014. I don't know about 1971/72.
Mandated reporters in PA
So far I've found that the first mandated reporter law was passed in PA in 1963. Haven't found who was considered to be a MR back then, but I would have to think teachers were definitely included.
Excerpt mentions when mandated reporter law first passed
*Unlike Sara Ganim, I provide proof of my claims.

Certainly one of life's great mysteries. Where's FELLI when you need him?Have you ever wondered who coined the phrase "Coined the Phrase"?
I downloaded the paper. Looks like "school officials" (whatever that means) weren't added until 1975. Bernie gets off on a technicality. Bummer. Still as a responsible adult and as a teacher, someone children look up to as an authority figure and as a role model, he should have done more.
Is there still a pic of an Amish farmer riding a horse pulled plow?
Not Bernie, just the PiTiot Shuttlesworth.

Yep, Judass Shuttlesworthless with Jacobs listed as "friend".
Real Bernie, too drunk to use a computer.
You guys have been had. The FaceBook page isn't McCue, it's the Pitt idiot mbe/Shuttlesworth/Marty Matynushka.
You need to contact the Shaler school district and tell them he plays with himself all day long carping on PSU instead of doing his job.

Far enough.
It would seem that the Yahoo article, which was nothing more than cut paste of CNN and NBC's information, purposefully left out who corroborated it for dramatic effect.
The only real thing that can be gained, as far as the truth, is to unseal what was collected by the Insurance company. That would quickly put all speculation to rest.
The deposition in the court case recounts a different incident, one that took place in 1976, than the one on which Ganim reported. Nonetheless, I doubt that there is anything definitive or not subject to challenge in any of those depositions. I'd surmise that Freeh and /or Commonwealth investigators knew of the cases and that they led nowhere.
This literally makes zero sense or addresses anything in my post.
(Assuming it's true) If it happened in 71, and Bernie was told in 72, Victim A had already gone that route because of his foster parents relationship with PSU football.
The idea of a kid opening up to his teacher about something he had been carrying around with him, and begging the teacher not to tell a soul because it would only make things worse, doesn't make sense?
Bingo, It would be nice to find out the truth, one way or the other. As it stands now, we have a dead man who cannot defend himself, and seemingly mentally disturbed people who are quoted by so called journalists.
Question... Hasn't this nut job been bothering the Paternoes for years? I seem to recall jay or Scott saying that. When I say years I mean pre 2011. In fact they may have mentioned it when he came out and said he respected joe until 2011.
Right up until the point where they decide to report it to Joe Paterno, who, despite having lived a well-documented life of duty and ethics, then decides to risk everything by threatening the caller in a bid to cover up for a completely unknown LB coach.
But aside from that? Makes total sense.

How dare you question a "victim"! Just write him a check.
After reading this, it is clear this individual is mentally unstable. I had no such conclusion prior.
So this 15-year-old kid tells his "best friend" Bernie McCue (a 35 tear old teacher) that he was brutally raped by Jerry Sandusky, and out of respect for the kid's wishes, Bernie turns a blind eye as Jerry launches a victim factory and silently works alongside the child rapist for the next few decades and says nothing as Jerry preys on scores of at-risk children. You're asking us if that makes sense? Did anyone even claim that the kid requested Bernie's confidentiality?
Exactly.

Can you send that to CNN?
Although to tell you the truth I don't think they care, since they already know the timelines and dates didn't work so they just changed them. Something about journalistic integrity. LOL.
Why couldn't Bernie hold down a job at one school district for long? I suspect he was shuttled around the school system like a catholic priest.

so... despite "knowing" of what happened in the 70s, he still respected Joe? okie dokie.
But the accuser himself admitted he wasn't forthcoming with everything.
Most of what follows is pure speculation. I want that understood by all (lurkers especially).
What if the accuser was nervous and seemed unsure? He did claim Sandusky gave him beer and pot. I've never once heard that was something he indulged in personally. VA said he didn't tell them about the actual rape.
The truth is back then very few people were equipped to recognize or deal with SA victims. What may have started out as genuine concern, and delicately trying to get the truth, may have become a more forceful line of questioning when they felt he wasn't telling them everything (which he admittedly didn't). That doesn't make Paterno a malicious vilian.
I absolutely understand that there's no way anyone was willing to cover for Sandusky knowing he's a pedophile at (that point). Realistically, if there were a cover-up in the name of football, it would have to be sometime after 86.
The scenario you describe does not seem unlikely until we get to the part of the story where Joe Paterno is at the disposal of the alleged victim. But I will concede that this is not impossible, just infinitely implausible.
However then there's this:
"They were asking me my motive, why I would say this about someone who has done so many good things."
Being that this alleged call predates the formation of the Second Mile by six years and Sandusky's national championship defenses by eleven & fifteen years respectively, I'm very confused about what the "so many good things" would have been in 1971.
Any ideas?
If it is indeed someone else, what kind of pathetic life do you live to do something like that? That's even more pathetic than Drunky McCue himself. Wouldn't surprise me to find out it was a Pitt fan, the majority of the most disgusting comments about this whole mess comes from that "fanbase".
maybe Bernie IS Judas . . .
I doubt it. He actually lists he's from Pittsburgh, if you look closely enough.
If that's the case he needs to be called out and answer for what he's alleged.
No hiding behind a CNN reporter. Step up and tell the world the truth if you're a man of principle.
