[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in higher ed and I'd thought that I'd seen the good and bad of university administration and disciplinary processes.  I guess it's just crazy to me that an adult would see what he perceived to be a sexual assault by an adult on a child in a public place and he wouldn't think yell for help and then call 911.

I want to keep my kid safe, but this whole situation has me thinking about how much[b] I also want to train her to be a person who does the right thing as an adult.[/b][/quote]

It's called ethics training that most organization have. It may help people to identify and report those incidents. Which they clearly did not do. However, the perpetrators will always be out there. It is up to us to keep our children safe..

BTW, some of these boys were in some sort of program for at-risk-children. That just makes me so mad. I am glad they fired Paterno. [/quote]

So are you saying that you aren't planning to talk to your children about how to behave ethically and morally in difficult situations?  You'll just wait until they complete that online ethics module at their first job? Your take away from this situation is that your only responsibility in this society is to make sure that YOUR children aren't molested?  [/quote]
