He did report it. In public schools, you report suspected abuse to a designated contact who then gives it to the proper authorities to investigate and potentially take the child. The issue is what exactly that GA told Paterno. IF it is true that he told only told Paterno that "inappropriate behavior" or some other vague description occured then he did all he really can do and his superiors failed to do their job once they were given notice of the incident. If Paterno was told exactly what the GA said he saw then they should have called his superiors on their way to the police station. I don't understand why there isn't more heat on the the GA for not calling the cops immediately. He sees a man raping a kid in the shower and he runs home and calls his daddy? Paterno is the scapegoat here, and I think that is what the sensible students have an issue with. Based on the evidence we have available, Paterno could have and should have done more, but until I see proof that he knew what exactly was occurring, I refuse to make him the face of this system failure.

There were reports in 1998 all the way to 2002 when Sandusky left! Paterno is just as bad as his GA! He should have been shot out of a cannon from Penn State! HOW THE FUCK DO YOU NOT GO TO THE COPS AND JUST LOOK THE OTHER WAY WHEN SANDUSKY IS WALKING AROUND CAMPUS!!!!!
