Forget the “required reporter” cop out, anyone who knew this was happening had a duty to report it and make sure it was handled.

One of those with knowledge was Jonathan Dranov, M.D., who was called to the McQueary household that night after John McQueary heard his son's story and couldn't decide what to do. He knew something was going on in that shower - he pressed Mike McQueary three times on whether he saw actual sex and all three times McQueary broke down and couldn't answer.

Physicians are required under Pennsylvania law to report suspected sexual abuse; Dranov reported nothing.

In the interest of full disclosure, Dranov was medical director of a clinic to which the Paternos had given over $1 million. He advised telling Paterno and not the police.

Yep, a systemic problem including many people who failed in their duty to protect children.
