The worst thing is he cant even tell his side of the story. Now hes gonna be known for this bullshit with Sandusky and who knows what Joe Pa did. Sucks

[ndlquack]

BOT is going to be feeling a lot of heat during these next days. The sad thing in all this is as a teacher/coach it is our responsibility to tell our principal/athletic director of any thing we hear that effects children and after that we have to let the system handle the matter.

The way that some people are talking about JoePa you would have thought he commited the acts. There is more coverage about what JoePa didn't do then Sandusky??

Put yourself in Joe's shoes, he gets a report from McQueary that makes him sick and gives it to the higher ups. At that point he has turned it over to them. It was not his job to call the police as far as I know. I do not know what Penn State's rules are for teachers.

I know in Oregon we have Mandatory reporting and here is what we have to do by law:

Q. Who do I contact if I suspect child abuse?
According to ORS 419B.015, "a person making a report of child abuse shall make an oral report by telephone or otherwise to a local Child Welfare office of the Department of Human Services, to the division's designee, or to a law enforcement agency within the county where the person making the report is at the time of the contact." A law enforcement agency can be defined as a local police department, county sheriff, county juvenile department, or Oregon State Police.

http://www.oregon.gov/DHS/children/abus ... port.shtml

So not even us teachers in Oregon have to go directly to the police.

Now doing some research about the state of Pennsylvania I found this:

Staff members of public or private agencies, institutions and facilities. Licensees who are staff members of a medical or other public or private institution, school, facility or agency, and who, in the course of their employment, occupation or practice of their profession, come into contact with children shall immediately notify the person in charge of the institution, school facility or agency or the designated agent of the person in charge when they have reasonable cause to suspect on the basis of their professional or other training or experience, that a child coming before them in their professional or official capacity is a victim of child abuse. Upon notification by the licensee, the person in charge or the designated agent shall assume the responsibility and have the legal obligation to report or cause a report to be made in accordance with subsections (a), (c) and (d).

(c) Reporting procedure. Reports of suspected child abuse shall be made by telephone and by written report.

(1) Oral reports. Oral reports of suspected child abuse shall be made immediately by telephone to ChildLine, (800) 932-0313.

(2) Written reports. Written reports shall be made within 48 hours after the oral report is made by telephone. Written reports shall be made on forms available from a county children and youth social service agency.

(d) Written reports. Written reports shall be made in the manner and on forms prescribed by the Department of Public Welfare. The following information shall be included in the written reports, if available:

Again and it has been reported that JoePa legally did what he was supposed to do. Joe at the time probably thought I have passed this information to my supervisors and if nothing happens maybe McQueary did not really see what he thought he saw. Plus and this will sound terrible but Joe was running a program. His job legally was to report it and get on with his life.

Us teachers have to do that also, we cannot drop everything to make sure the system has worked. We have to hope the system does what it was designed to and it is on the department of human services.

McQueary is really the one that should have provided the written report because he is the one who "saw" the acts.

Hopefully I don't sound insensitive but it goes with the job that we have to trust in the system.

He already did tell his side of the story.
