But even that is no sure bet. What if Joe did report it to the police. Who is to say that would have solved anything. The first incident was reported to and investigated by the police. Anything really happen after that?

Just seems like such a negetive way to look at it. THAT's why so many victims of abuse don't come forward. What if? What if this and what if that. Doens't matter, you report a rape of a child.
Me? I would have called the police. If McQueary is lying, they can arrest him.

So using that is a WEAK excuse of letting the people before HIM ever having knowledge off the hook.
LIKE I said where is ALLLLLLL you people's outrage at the mother, DA, police, and public welfare that did nothing in 98 when similar situation happened and SANDUSKY addmitted to doing it? Please explain yourselves?!?
ALL COULD HAVE ENDED in 1998, 1998, 19988888888888888. lol

Nobody is absolving any of those others. This thread is about opinoins on Joe Paterno. Please tell me who has said it's all Joes fault?

You'll never be good in a possition of that type of responsibility then. Joe Paterno had a responsibility that went beyond just coaching.
