Look at this case, Sandusky was investigated for 3 years before he was arrested. The important thing is to let someone check to make sure that the kid involved is not being victimized.
Honestly, could you really live with yourself if you didn't do something and it turned out to be true?

I think Paterno may have done what he was legally obligated to do, but failed on a moral front (to borrow DrPhil's comparison)

Its employees are not state employees.

Thanks, I wasn't sure of the employees' status. That may affect his responsibility as far as reporting it.
