I think your question will be answered soon. The NFL will be investigated. Soon, all types of widespread child abuse will be 'outed' beyond just the NFL. It will become a media obsession. Congressional hearings will start. New legislation will be passed regarding child abuse, with a lowered threshold of evidence and definition. The government will soon be the sole arbiter of child discipline.
OK.. now that we have the hyperbole out of the way... what protects this kid next time?
