Yes, people in positions of power will be expected to do more. Such is life.

If they knew and allowed him to interact with children until 2008, they are also to blame. Those are legal and moral dynamics that Second Mile will have to work through as it pertains to their founder.

There is plenty of accountability and legal or moral dynamics to go around. This is not about either/or.

But, you have seen articles, right?

That is good. People are saying that it seems as though JoePa handed it off to Schultz when these types of things are difficult to hand off (no pun intended) and seemingly keep moving.
