That's what gets me too Pgrundy. I would have immediately tried to stop it from going any further WHILE calling 911 or the police.
I don't understand why they say the graduate student did the right by contacting "the authorities" - his superiors are not "the authorities" when it comes to pedophilia. If the graduate student had been a small child, I would understand why the only choice would be to seek out an authority at the institution - but he was old enough to know how to speak with the police!
This particular incident happened in 2002. All those words of regret from Coach P and the staff are meaningless to me. They had PLENTY of time to address the issue, but their own reputations/careers were more important that the children they claim to serve.
I find it disgusting to think so many people knew about this and said NOTHING to ANYONE about him adopting 6 children and fostering who knows how many others.
I appreciated all those kids at the game who wore blue, but it really was just a color. It was sickening to see signs proclaiming their love for the coach, asking God to bless him, or saying "This One's For You." It was strange to see people gathering at his house, as if they were in mourning - like with the Caylee Anthony case. It made all those love notes to the coach look like kudos to Casey for killing her child.
I hope the kids at the school will be able to come to grips with what happened. I hope people will have the courage to step in/call the police if they witness a child (or anyone) getting raped.
