A lesson in life

The whole Penn State thing has prompted lots of discussion at the RehabRN household with Bubba.

Points to ponder...

Yes, there are no secrets between adults and children. Period. Surprises, yes. Secrets, no.

You have to be responsible. As a kid, being responsible means telling an adult if something doesn't look right.

As an adult, being responsible in a situation like this means either 1) beating the ever-loving c*(p out of someone abusing a kid or 2) getting on your phone and calling the authorities IMMEDIATELY, not later, not after you think about it for years, right away.

No sport is life. Sports are part of life, but in most cases, should not qualify you for life behind bars.
As honorable people, there is a reason why we value protecting children, orphans and widows (and/or anyone in a weakened, general condition).

Because it's the right thing to do.
