Didn't we just talk about the Boy Scouts of America protecting a molester for years and years while he continued to molest kids?
Well it seems Penn State has been doing this too.
Why didn't the University just call the cops when a witnesses saw this old man, a famous coach for their all-important football team, molesting a 10 year old boy in the showers in the 1990s?
Now we know many more kids were molested because this coach was allowed Carte Blanche to the University even after he retired.
We need FEDERAL laws requiring reporting of this to police, not to supervisors in the institutions.
Power corrupts and people will look out only for their jobs, institutions will look out only for its image, not the kids.
Institutions and 50 state legislatures cannot be trusted to do the right thing.
