Yes you would want to know more but don't tell me right that moment you are going to jump up and call the police first off. You are going to want it looked into before you potentially reported such a crime on a person you have known for years. Joe let the people who should look into the matter and trusted them , yes in HINDSIGHT that was a mistake but you telling me that if you took something to your boss and then looked into it for a week and a half and said oh its nothing you are going to question that. Like I said when you have hindsight its easy to say what you would do but unless you are in that moment you can't say what you would do. And I've been through a similar situation were a supposed rape occured and I was told and first thing I did was look into it not call the police, when both people story wasn't adding up I removed myself from the situation so tell me am I somehow now a bad person since I didn't report it to the police?!?

Sorry, but you are wrong about me.
Sure, if McQueary comes to me and says he saw a player shooting himself with a needle, or he saw someone stealing supplies, sure. I might get a tad lacadasical. MAYBE.
Do you not understand what was reported?
An assistan coach came and said I SAW THIS. MITH MY OWN TWO EYES.
I don't have a problem with Paterno thinking something wasn't being told accurately. But considering what was being reported. YES. McQueary doesn't leave my sight until I get to the bottom of this. But I am the most powerful person in the situation. And a child has been horrifyingly brutalized. I get to the bottom of it. I get McQueary and Sandusky together and find out if I have to.
But McQuearys word is PLENTY to go to the police. WITH McQueary. If McQueary is making it up, then he pays.
