"Two Ways to Report Abuse

1-800-252-5400

Call our Abuse Hotline toll-free 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, nationwide.

www.txabusehotline.org

Make your report through our secure web site and you will receive a response within 24 hours.

We cannot accept e-mail reports of suspected abuse or neglect."

And to be more specific. If you are witnessing an abuse event, (physically intervene at your own risk...verbally intervening is safer) CALL YOUR LOCAL POLICE FIRST (911), then call the above hotline number.

Amazing how everyone who knew him can never praise his character and kindness enough, but those who know almost nothing about the man somehow have the insight to know he was a "moralless hypocrite." Simply amazing.

Weak. Let's ask the kids Sandusky molested in 2002 and later about Paterno's great character and kindness.

Think about that. Think about the kid in the shower who thought "thank god, an adult saw this, now it will stop" only to find out that the adults didn't care enough to protect him. Think about the long lasting repercussions and trust issues just that one child will have for the rest of his life before you go hailing the great coach Joe Pa.

Horrifying, isn't it? For decades Joe Paterno and Penn State were held up as the most moral college football program in the country. So much for that idea.

If only Scott McQueary had the fortitude to stop the situation he witnessed and go directly to the state police, maybe people wouldn't look upon JoePa so unfavorably.

Yep. McQueary, Curley and Schultz all could have done the right thing and saved Paterno's reputation. Instead, he had to save it himself by standing up and doing the right thing, and he failed.
