Penn State

First let me say that am truly sorry for the victims in the Penn State case. I have no sympathy at all for anyone who had knowledge of this incident and did nothing. The talk is of “moral obligation”. Well I don’t agree. I believe it goes well beyond that. While it is obvious that Sandusky is the monster of this whole thing, it appears that everyone feels like everybody else only had a “moral obligation” to do something about it. This is not a case of somebody stealing office supplies where you have a “moral obligation” to report it to your bosses. No…innocent children were victimized by a predator..raped..sodomized…and will have the emotional scars for the rest of their lives. Mike McQueary seems to be the least held responsible for what happened yet he WITNESSED it. He did nothing to stop it..he didn’t call the authorities..no..he told his dad and coach Paterno. Really? At the very least he should have gone straight to the authorities. He had a “moral obligation” to save the child from harm by whatever means necessary from this predator. He should be charged with aiding and abetting since he did nothing to stop it. From there the failures go from coach Paterno all the way to the college president. This attitude of “moral obligation” just shows what is really wrong with society today. Paterno and everone else involved should have stayed on top of this and when no immediate action was taken, should have instituted it themselves. They put the college and themselves above the safety of these poor children. Maybe they should all go to jail and maybe if “Bubba” gets a hold of them the prison guards should have a “moral obligation” to save them. Maybe not.
