That's not how CPS works. You call CPS, report a claim, and they investigate it. In fact, the majority of claims to CPS are dismissed or considered unfounded.

He did not. He waited two days. One and a half if you want to be chronologically correct.

It would be difficult to even say that calling child services to investigate possible sexual misconduct is even making a claim, let alone publishing it. Even if the call was recorded for internal review, and private record, it would never be considered as publishing a claim You are certainly making a claim if you say that someone is molesting and sodomizing young children based on something someone told you. I'll give you the publishing part though Calling child services to investigate a claim made by one of your assistants in no way attaches you to that claim.
Conceded. We're on the same page that it would be a claim made by someone though right?

No instead he does children's charities events for this guy. Are you fucking kidding me? He lucky he not in jail forget losing his job. Or maybe he assumed that the investigation had turned up nothing? Maybe he assumed that when called in some other act had happened, that McQuerey had not exactly lied but just been wrong and so was allowed to stay and advance through the ranks of the PSU staff? Maybe that happened? Can you tell me it didn't? No, you can not. You can sit there and speculate, though. You seem to be doing a fine job of it.
He can't assume there, not with kids lives at stake. He has a moral obligation to follow up and make sure those kids are protected. He didn't do that. He washed his hands of it and shame on him for the rest of his life for that.

Incorrect, stop arguing with facts please:
pg 7 of the grand jury report paragraph 2 - Paraphrase(too hard to quote off of pda) Friday at 9:30 PM- GA saw rape- left locker room- called father- father told him to call Joe. Saturday the GA called Joe and then went to his house to report what he saw. That's not even 24 hours brah.
Find me a conflicting report or stop arguing over facts please.

Shame on you for being judgemental as fuck. He saw an investigation take place, then he saw no real actions taken as a result of said investigation. How do you know he didn't follow up? How do you know whether or not he asked about it and was told they had found nothing? You DON'T. And that's all I've been trying to point out. Nobody knows jack shit right now. Reserve judgement for when you do. After all the statements have been given.

And if I said I had an eyewitness who saw it happen? And then they charge you with sexual assault based on that eyewitness? And then the eyewitness recants their testimony? I had skipped a few steps but I'll spell it out for you if you want. Paterno had no idea to know if McQuerey's accusations were true or not. He simply had the word of a graduate assistant versus the word of a 30-year old friend. He reported what he was told and let the "investigation" play out. I don't understand how calling child services would've made a lick of difference.

YOU. DON'T. KNOW. SHIT. You know NOTHING. You are GUESSING about what happened. I'm asking you to stop GUESSING about what happened, and reserve judgement for when all the FACTS come out. Just an FYI...Anyone who resorts to cursing and caps lock on an internet forum generally won't have much credibility behind their post. Just an FYI, those who blind themselves to discourse because of bad words or implied shouting are worthless to the discussion anyways. I like how you think you're being clever but anyone with a semi-functioning brain can see that your posts are just filled with non-valid garbage, and your argument is flawed at best, and not even worth considering an argument at worse. Grand Jury report clearly states what happened. Paterno was clearly informed of sexual misconduct. What SHOULD of happened at this point is him demanding a full investigation by the campus, and informing the police (as is required by law) of the possibility of children being sexually abused. He did not do that. He turned the blind eye (which is what you're doing to every valid point made in this thread, see what I did there), and thus he is morally guilty (if not also legally guilty) of facilitating the rape of children. Seriously just stop posting your bullshit, I really wouldn't want to have to tear you apart and make you look more retarded than you already did yourself. Edit: Also upon reading your further posts saying that the GA testimony to them says he didn't see anal rape, you need to get your glasses checked and possibly have laser surgery, or go back to reading school. Probably all three based on the content of most of your posts. Peace kid no re. Your chosen username inspires the greatest of confidence. You have written quite a lot there, and yet you have brought forth no facts. I have my glasses and I can see perfectly fine. According to JoePa, the athletic director, and the head of the police force, the testimony given by McQuerey was not what he eventually told the grand jury.
I like how you, when faced with something you can't refute, and being unable to find a flaw in anything I posted, resort to bringing my username up in an attempt to discredit the validity of what I posted. Sorry little boy, you got smashed, go home and stop trying.
PS, no, your reading skills are not fine as you clearly did not read the grand jury report and what was indicated in it.

How the grand jury can view him as a credible witness when he only informed Paterno 2 days after the fact is beyond me. How they can still view him as credible after he has only benefited from subsequent actions is also beyond me. He saw what he saw at 10pm. He called Joe the next morning. He did not. He waited two days. One and a half if you want to be chronologically correct. Incorrect, stop arguing with facts please: pg 7 of the grand jury report paragraph 2 - Paraphrase(too hard to quote off of pda) Friday at 9:30 PM- GA saw rape- left locker room- called father- father told him to call Joe. Saturday the GA called Joe and then went to his house to report what he saw. That's not even 24 hours brah. Find me a conflicting report or stop arguing over facts please.
For some reason I have been reading Saturday as Sunday. I apologize for this error.

Edit: How fucking self-righteous are you people. He should have called the "real" police? Lol. How does Joe know they're not already informed after he's told the "fake" police (why they're fake is beyond me, I guess in your fairyland they're fake so I'll call them fake too).
YOU. DON'T. KNOW. SHIT. You know NOTHING. You are GUESSING about what happened. I'm asking you to stop GUESSING about what happened, and reserve judgement for when all the FACTS come out. Just an FYI...Anyone who resorts to cursing and caps lock on an internet forum generally won't have much credibility behind their post. Just an FYI, those who blind themselves to discourse because of bad words or implied shouting are worthless to the discussion anyways. I like how you think you're being clever but anyone with a semi-functioning brain can see that your posts are just filled with non-valid garbage, and your argument is flawed at best, and not even worth considering an argument at worse. Grand Jury report clearly states what happened. Paterno was clearly informed of sexual misconduct. What SHOULD of happened at this point is him demanding a full investigation by the campus, and informing the police (as is required by law) of the possibility of children being sexually abused. He did not do that. He turned the blind eye (which is what you're doing to every valid point made in this thread, see what I did there), and thus he is morally guilty (if not also legally guilty) of facilitating the rape of children.

I am confused. Who are you? What argument did you bring up? What did I see that I couldn't refute? I saw speculation on your part, mind telling me what I'm missing? Fill it in for me, buddy.
Edit: Page 7, Paragraph 3. Paterno states that he was told only of fondling or something of a sexual nature.
Page 8. Paragraph 2. Curley states that he was only told by the GA of inappropriate activity. He denies the GA of telling them about anal sex.
Page 8, final paragraph. Schultz states that the GA only informed them of disturbing and inappropriate conduct.

Yea for sure, McQuerey clearly benefited from keeping his mouth shut. He probably would have lost his job if he talked.
But Joe wouldn't have. He had absolutely NO excuse for remaining silent, which makes it worse. You keep trying to pin me on saying Joe broke the Law. I'm not saying that. I'm saying he failed in his moral duty to protect those who cannot protect themselves.
You really are going to tell me Joe did all he could have to protect future children from harm? No he didn't, therefore he failed his moral obligation. I didn't mean to peg you as saying he failed legally. I apologize for that interpretation. How do you know Joe wouldn't have lost his job? If McQuerey can lose his job from this so can Paterno. Maybe McQuerey was lying about the whole thing and Paterno goes forward and announces it publicly, he's fucked. He doesn't know whether there's an investigation occuring or not, and he has no right to deny Sandusky anything. He also can't just out of the blue fire McQuerey. He has to sit tight and do nothing, which is exactly what he did. I am beyond certain that if Paterno called child services to investigate Sandusky he would not have lost his job.

a lick of difference? You don't see how calling in a 3rd party (who's #1 priority is not protecting PSU football) to investigate the claims made against Sandusky would have made a lick of difference? Seriously? Like seriously

Kids calm down and read my post on the previous page. School admins had a statutory obligation to report. Failure to report is a misdemeanor under state law. Reporters are given legal immunity from what you guys are yammering on about.

They have an obligation to report to their superiors under the law you linked... As Paterno received only reports from the GA and did not witness the event or receive the statement from the victim it is accepted that he only need pass on said information to his superior.

yea i read what you said, it doesn't pertain to what i responded to at all???? Although it was overall very informative and nicely bold-ed
He is saying if Joe Paterno called CPS in 2002 it would not have made a "lick of difference." That is the opposite of a true statement. It would have ended this thing in 2002 and saved AT LEAST 6 additional victims. No one has said anything about reporters.....

Lol....I don't know if you live in the real world or not, but you don't call in 3rd parties when you have internal processes/procedures for reporting this stuff. He reported it to the head of a state-recognized campus police force. That should have been enough on Paterno's end if the system worked. The system failed and now Paterno is PARTLY responsible because of that fact. Like we said, hindsight is 20/20, of course looking back we can say if he reported it to childs services it would've been looked at more closely and Sandusky would've been brought to justice....
lol....gtfo indeed.

Like seriouslyI've held my tongue all day.... but this one completely deserves a GTFO Kids calm down and read my post on the previous page. School admins had a statutory obligation to report. Failure to report is a misdemeanor under state law. Reporters are given legal immunity from what you guys are yammering on about. They have an obligation to report to their superiors under the law you linked... As Paterno received only reports from the GA and did not witness the event or receive the statement from the victim it is accepted that he only need pass on said information to his superior.
Nope.
