For me this issue goes far beyond the guilt or failings of Joe Paterno. its about the poisonous corrupt atmosphere that can come to exist in organizations that supposedly function for the enrichment and well being of the individuals within that organization. But come to the point where the enrichment and well being of the org. trumps that of the individuals. To the extent that this kind of scandal is handled to minimize the impact on the org. at the likely expense of the very people the org. is supposed to be serving and nurturing.

Knowingly moving or covering up for Perps that prey on young, weak, defenseless kids.
Allowing known predators the chance to continue their devastating crimes on other victims
for years to come. And the school did that by giving the Perp access to the facilities for use with the youth programs there on campus. Its beyond belief.

There is another, world wide organization (unnamed, don't want to sent this to PARF) that is trying to dig its self out from under the consequences of century's of this kind of policy. Seeing the scaring impact of such behavior on the victims and their families has not apparently been enough to bring about the changes needed to stop this sort of attitudes.
