Did you read the Grand Jury transcript - OMG - just disgusting and straight up negligance/cover-up by the people in power. I actually felt ill while I was reading it...just wrong. What's your opinion?

I have a link but not sure I can add it without the question getting pulled

It is quite graphic - just FYI

What can I do next?

It's disgusting and disturbing. With all of the witnesses, NO O. called the police-ever! Kind of reminds me of the way the Catholic church used to deal with the pedophile priests--just move them around to another parish...never involve the police.
If this incident shows O. thing--it's that people need to be cognizant enough to alert appropriate channels--and not respect an "institution" first. Ever.

Beyond disgusting! I don't want to read the transcript, but how anyone can witness, with their own eyes, a child being molested and not call the police to come collect the adult's body is beyond me. Seriously, how couldyou live with yourself for not telling? It literally makes me nauseated!

I have no idea how to access the Grand Jury Transcript but I am pleased to see that they are starting to figure out how to get rid of Paterno...it is good to know that people obviously agree that he did NOT do enough to get this stopped!!! Just telling his superior fulfilled his LEGAL obligation but it by no means fulfilled his MORAL obligation!! My heart breaks for these boys ....who were already in such a sad and unloved position and then to be taken advantage of in such a truly horrendous way by a man (and I use the term loosely!!) who was supposed to be "Helping" them!!
I hope that he is punished as severely as the law can allow...after he is found guilty by a jury of his peers. And I hope that the police and DA do everything thing by the book...don't give this man a chance of escaping on a technicality!!!

I watched all three hours of "The Dan Patrick Show" yesterday and I was exhausted. This story is incredibly disgusting and Dan said just about everything I was thinking.

Those boys lives are ruined. No amount of money is going to help but I hope to hell they get PAID! They'll need a ton of therapy and support.

I love football but not at the expense of human lives being DESTROYED.

Joe Pa needs to step down ASAP. His career is now ruined at the hands of Jerry Sandusky.

I agree Bug,
Most women would have left with the boy in tow and that monster's genitals in her purse.
This woman would have anyways!
I would've reported it all the way up, made sure children's services got the call and called the police myself that night. I would have taken it to the govenor's office, if neccessary. (I have done so in the past.)

The only thing that gives me peace is knowing that there is a special place in hell for people like this.

I agree so much with Victoria- does anybody care about the boys? I can't even go there, this whole situation makes me that sick...
