made and I am not talking about the upper admin of the university. they have to report this directly to child services and the police. It is the law. Go on a ride to a store where the driver robs it with or without a gun and see if you don't go to jail too. Its called guilt by association and when it involves crime pertains EQUALLY to the one who committed it and to you. This is the same thing. He has equal guilt. The slagging janitors knew about this. Everyone KNEW about it. Why do you think they're in such a panic. The indictments are coming. They are. Sitting here quibbling around about degrees of culpability is just so much monkey motion. Educators and others related HAVE A LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY and if they fail AS PATERNO DID they are EQUALLY GUILTY. That is the law. Quasi officers of the court. I can tell you I was bludgeoned with this information for 27 years as a teacher. Fudge this all you want. the fucker is lucky he died. He's off the hook physically but his responsibility to those kids not just morally but legally is forever and he is WORSE in my opinion than a crazed crazy man who like to fuck kids. He knew this was happening and let it go with mininal and in my opinion as someone who had this duty myself CRIMINAL lack of response to that info. HE put himself, a stupid sport and his fake legend over the safety and well being of kids and this went on longer because he was a fucking coward and he is as dirty and responsible as Sandusky if not more. Sandusky couldn't stop. Paterno never started. Kids who didn't have to get fucked in the butt were because he was a bastard. Complete utter bastard and that alone makes him worse.

Tell me ... is the pope off the hook, JPII and this one concerning priest rape of kids? Will you make the same argument about the popes and the upper clergy? I don't think so. They are as guilty as the pedos that did this stuff because they knew and didn't intervene. They even protected the fuckers just like Paterno did for Sandusky. That makes them even worse. They allowed more victims to be created just like Paterno because the Church of Penn State Football and all its fake morality and good guyism was more important than the lives and sanity of tiny children.

Fuck Paterno.
