There are many who failed these children. The epicenter of reporting occurred at Penn State. The top three administrators failed these children. It was because of their in-action that no further action was taken.
This has been proven in a court of law and proven in the two guilty pleas. They endangered the welfare of children. It starts with them. Period. Full Stop.
You can't blame others without looking at where the report started - and stopped. Now you can blame Mike McQueary (and I have - wrote an entire piece on him from Sandusky's trial the day he testified) for not effectively communicating what he saw. But Mike McQueary DID NOT HAVE KNOWLEDGE of 1998. C-S-and S did.
See the difference?
And it doesn't matter that it was unfounded in 1998 - it was enough to be reported then - and the 2001 episode now shows a pattern. As Spanier said - the only downside is if the message is not heard and then we are vulnerable for not reporting it.
He knew they should report it. They made a bad judgment call - and when you're at the top - when those calls go awry - the buck stops with you.
no continuing conspiracy was proven in a court of law
all a court of law and a plea deal proved was the admins possibly made an error (in hindsight) when the law changed in 2007.
the rest is just nonsense
the epicenter of abuse was Second Mile. The courts. law enforcement. the OAG.
you cannot spare a moment of contempt for them
odd, coming from a so called victim advocate
