The Penn State /Jerry Sandusky scandal is obviously a black eye on the university, the staff and of course Joe Paterno. When the scandal first broke, my first reaction was not to blame Paterno, but say "he reported it to the sr staff and that was sufficient". In Mitt Romney style (sorry if that hurts some folks), I have done a 180 on this topic. After reading the summary points from the Louis Freeh report today, I am utterly appalled at the lack of follow-up and understanding that the university and Paterno showed about this case. Child molestation and abuse is one of the heinous crimes you can commit. Nothing to me is more cowardly than to hurt someone who can not defend themselves. Any allegation should be fully investigated especially when there were so many red flags.
The whole topic makes me sick. As a young teen and adult, I thought Joe P and Penn State was such an honorable program. I am not saying Joe P was a horrible person for his whole life, but you are judged sometimes by your worst mistake even if you lived a very honorable life......
