Well, Coach Paterno, God will let you know what you did wrong..the first thing is that he will tell you that you did nothing. That will probably be the end of the conversation....the rest will be when you meet the devil. Child molesters and those who turn their head and look away, those who "don't want to get involved" deserve to have the rest of their live in prison. There needs to be a prison for child molesters only. One prison wouldn't be enough because these creeps are out there..Teach your kids stranger danger. It's a sad state when we are older senior are afraid to talk to kids. We had children, all didn't have the problem thse little boys had..They lives have been turned upside down..If Sandusky is guilty, he might as well plead guilty as we was seen by the assistant coach, who should be in jail having sex with a child in the locker room. All these people who knew what was going on should be fired, they should not be able to receive one dollar of pension money. Now, we need to find out of there are other colleges that have this problem and shut them down too. I think the football program should be closed at Penn State for at least 20 years or maybe forever.You should have said NO, Paterno!...you lied to God and yourself by not telling about this Sandusky at the very beginning...think of how many little boys were molested because you didn't do anything.
"I didn't know exactly how to handle it and I was afraid to do something that might jeopardize what the university procedure was..."
If that was your child or grandchild, Coach Paterno, you would have known EXACTLY how to handle it. But instead you worried about your job and the football program.
are you kidding me guy, you should of called COPS,what if it was your child. and at his wife he deserved better , you should be ashamed for staying that. these kids DESERVED better. you all are freaking sick losers.
If Sandusky is guilty, "I'm sick about it," Paterno said. If he is guilty...really! Paterno wasn't a 22 year old grad student who could use the excuse I didn't know what to do. But Paterno knew what to do and he knew that Sandusky was doing something illegal. Paterno is a creep trying to save his soul and his name. He has no excuse for not following through on what he knew was happening. Give me a break.
He was a lawyer and he knew that his legal responsibility was fulfilled. He is morally as guilty as Sandusky and the rest of the people at Penn State who allowed a child predator to continue to walk free. Should we feel sorry for him now that he is old, frail and terminally ill? We will all that someday, and I hope we don't have to carry the same baggage as JoePa. I don't know if his Redeemer is going to say to to him that because he built a wonderful footbal program, the "Doors to the Kingdom" will be open and there will be a place for him at the table. In the end, football will not matter, Joe.
Do you think I would have said these things if I hadn't personally experienced them myself? I was an underage male and I belonged to Boy Scouts. Need I say more?
Ohh, I am so very sorry such things happened to you however it is a huge assumption you make to think that I could possibly have read between the lines to realise such things had taken place.
I am very sorry for what has happenend to you. I had no idea (how could I?) Similar things happened to me also as a child.
Any child - male or female can be subjected to abuse. And this is why - irrespective of race or gender or sexual orientation - I *URGE* others to stand up and get out there and speak up if they see something out of the ordinary with respect to children or potentially inappropriate behavior toward them.
Stand up. Dial 000. Go on record, be counted and HELP THEM. You might have saved someone from an internal lifelong emotional prison sentence.

Not failing that kid was way more important than anything that has to do with football - and he choked.
He was not running PSU. Ever.
No matter what, he was just a coach.
And a coach who received a hearsay report about an ex employee and punted.
It is 20/20 hindsight to say he should not have punted.

Real class act, not to mention a coward.
