Let's go with the worst case scenario and say JVP inferred some kind of vague, inappropriate activity ("I don't know what you'd call it") between Jerry and the boy in the shower.
1. Joe opened his policy & procedures book and met his reporting duty by reporting to Tim Curley.
2. Joe then went above & beyond his reporting duty by looping in the head of Police for good measure.
3. Joe followed up with McQueary a few times thereafter to ask if he was comfortable with everything.
4. PSU reported outside the University to The Second Mile, which had a state mandate to suspend Jerry from all kids-related activities and notify CYS/DPW. PSU also banned Jerry from bringing kids into PSU facilities.
5. TSM director Bruce Heim admitted that PSU's report died with him at The Second Mile.
- Anyone who actually gives a rip about the welfare of kids would be curious about TSM killing the chain of command in reporting and giving Jerry license to continue preying on kids via alternative access to the pool/showers/facilities at Bruce Heim's Hilton Garden Inn.
- They would wonder why TSM had to tell Jerry to "back off of other kids before."
- They would wonder why and how Jerry was able to have at-risk kids court-ordered into his own custody with a simple phone call to TSM director Judge Grine.
- They would wonder how Jerry had the power to overrule a recommendation by CYS (CYS wanted Matt out of Jerry's home) by calling in a favor from his pal Dr. Fox.
- They would wonder why Steve Turchetta pulled kids out of class for personal time with Jerry and told Aaron Fisher he was FOS with his allegations against Jerry, only to be PROMOTED TO PRINCIPAL at Central Mountain High School to this day.
As the OAG said, Joe Paterno handled himself appropriately in 2001 and during the3-year investigation. It is insane for this vocal minority of fringe posters to keep redirecting everyone's attention from a broken child welfare system to the bright shiny distraction. If you want to know who is enabling abuse right now, look no further than those promoting the Paterno meme. They don't give a single rip about the kids.[/QUOTE
