Yep, yep and yep. :-/ There is more to the story, I'm sure. My friend said
so, too, and thinks she will probably be privy to it eventually since she works
in the administrative building... and you know the staff talk amongst
themselves. Especially since she's both a PSU alum and a townie... she'll know
eventually.

Cee,
Whether your son has a tender heart or no, I'm glad to hear that he
recognizes that something should have been done right then, right there. It's
clear he is a well-raised young man.
You know, I get it when people don't want to get involved in a situation
where they might witness someone shoplifting or they see someone hit and run a
parked car. That's one thing (although I myself would get involved in both
situations). No one's actually being physically or emotionally injured. This
is rape! And rape of a child, no less! Good grief, was he more concerned
that this "beloved" coach was doing wrong than concerned for the welfare of the
boy? I just can not get past the fact that he did not follow up when it
appeared nothing had been done. How could you not? (And it's not like he
wouldn't know - he was the witness, so you'd definitely know if a policeman or
detective didn't come calling.)
Your friend's perspective on McQueary is interesting. I was just discussing
this with my sister - I said, "I didn't realize until recently that the grad
assistant who witnessed the rape was that big red-headed jerk on the Penn State
coaching staff." I can't recall what the situation was, but I recall him doing
SOMETHING at the Outback Bowl this past January that really irritated me. I
don't know if he had made a gesture at some Gator players, or what, but I
already didn't like the guy prior to this. I like him even less, now. Really,
I will NOT be surprised if his coaching job was awarded as payment for a
coverup.

Sandy... this is exactly what my son said last night when we were
discussing the issue. He can't get over it. He is just so disgusted that a
bunch of grown men would keep this quiet for so long. This is a man-child who
can't even watch a TV show or movie in which a kid is being mistreated verbally
so I know he has a tender heart, and the only times he ever got in trouble for
fighting at school, he was taking up for some girl who was being harassed by a
guy or guys. I know he wouldn't just walk away from the scene Mike McQueary
walked away from.
I am proud to know that Trevor realizes how reprehensible the behavior of
all those involved has been. It's disgusting.
One of my best friends on the planet works at PSU (in fundraising...
imagine how this is going to affect HER job) and was born, raised and has lived
her entire life in State College, PA. She went to high school with Mike
McQueary, and she said he has always been a "shit head". She doesn't know why
he is still there either... or at least she is not telling if she does know.

Frankly, if I was a 28-year-old big burly guy like McQueary, I would have
gone into those showers and beat the living tar out of Sandusky, right then and
there.
