This is how you handle a sexual abuse claim. You stand up and do the right thing, and you do it right then and there. You do not pass it off to your superior the next day and then not bother to see things through. Paterno practically ran that school. Curley, Schultz and the others would have done anything he said. All he had to do was say that he wanted the police contacted right then and there, and wasn't going anywhere until they all met and told the story of what happened.. A man of integrity would have done just that.

I admire your integrity sir.
