Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because books.
I can totally see it!
I had no idea about any of that with Penn State. That's horrifying.

Jilli, I did a Jaw-dropGaspDROOL when I saw the pic of your boots! SO. JEALOUS.
Those are gorgeous, and just perfect for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I didn't know about the Penn State thing either. That's awful.

Our wings are not tired.
that poor grad student.
Re: that grad student -
Two people familiar with the investigation confirmed the identity of the graduate assistant as Mike McQueary, now the team's wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator.

That poor grad student also didnt follow up, and was promoted not long after. He repeatedly over the next nine years saw Sandusky attending games and stuff with boys of the same cohort.
I think he stopped being "poor grad student" about 48 hours into this all. Ugh.

Oy. Someone just pointed out that the new child care center on campus, which just opened a few weeks ago, is named for one of the administrators who's charged with failure to report and perjury.

Thrive to spite them
I'm reading more about this. And it's just so...heartbreaking and maddening. I think Paterno should resign. He was told about this, he knew about it, and he just passed the buck like everyone else.
I think everyone who passed the buck should resign/be fired.
If I'm understanding this correctly (and someone please tell me if I've got it wrong) a grad student told school officials he saw Sandusky raping a 10 year old in the locker rooms. And the officials just told Sandusky "don't bring kids on campus anymore" and that was it.
Paterno was made aware of the fact that Sandusky was molesting and raping children and he told someone but didn't fire Sandusky or remove him for his position or anything else.
Also it wasn't just the grad student who witnessed abuse, there was a janitor who witnessed Sandusky raping another boy orally (I mean, he was seen performing oral sex , I don't know how to word it right). Did that janitor report anything?

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

He didn't. The articles I read said that he thought he'd be fired if he said anything, and that he has dementia now so he can't really be questioned about anything.
