I just can't even...

[shipperx]

The more I read about the Penn State thing, the more speechless I become. I just... this is awful.  This is deeply, truly, unbearably awful.  How do so many people fail so badly?  This is sad, tragic, and terrible. My God.  Those poor children.

ETA:  Dear lord, it's sounds like it may be even worse.  SportsByBrooks is a rumor-monger, but if this is even a little true... dear lord.

I keep thinking about the graduate assistant. What kind of person do you have to be to see an adult raping a child and then just walk out? To not tell him to stop or to actually stop him? To not call the police?

And can't say I think much of his father, a man with a least one son of his own, who just had him report it to the coach and not call the police.

I hope very much I will not be that sort of person. Ever.

What shocked me when reading ESPN's 'timeline' was that the graduate assisstant was actually the third person to walk in on him with a victim. There were two prior incidents where janitors had walked into the shower to discover him there with a child. The grad student was THIRD. And all of them contacted the school about it (why they didn't contact the POLICE, I'll never understand).

It boggles the mind.
