In four points, John Scalzi walks us through what should have happened<\/a> at Penn State when the first incident was discovered:<\/p>\n

\n

1.<\/strong> When, as an adult, you come come across another adult raping a small child, you should a)<\/strong> do everything in your power to rescue that child from the rapist, b)<\/strong> call the police the moment it is practicable.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> If your adult son calls you to tell you that he just saw another adult raping a small child, but then left that small child with the rapist, and then asks you what he should do, you should a)<\/strong> tell him to get off the phone with you and call the police immediately, b)<\/strong> call the police yourself and make a report, c)<\/strong> at the appropriate time in the future ask your adult son why the fuck<\/em> he did not try to save that kid.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> If your underling comes to you to report that he saw another man, also your underling, raping a small child, but then left that small child with the rapist, you should a)<\/strong> call the police immediately, b)<\/strong> alert your own superiors, c)<\/strong> immediately suspend the alleged rapist underling from his job responsibilities pending a full investigation, d)<\/strong> at the appropriate time in the future ask that first underling why the fuck<\/em> he did not try to save that kid.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> When, as the officials of an organization, you are approached by an underling who tells you that one of his people saw another of his people raping a small child at the organization, in organization property<\/em>, you should a)<\/strong> call the police immediately, b)<\/strong> immediately suspend the alleged rapist from his job responsibilities if the immediate supervisor has not already done so, c)<\/strong> when called to a grand jury to testify on the matter, avoid perjuring yourself. At no time<\/em> should you decide that the best way to handle the situation is to simply tell the alleged rapist not to bring small children onto organization property anymore.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For “organization”, feel free to substitute “Catholic church” for “Penn State University” as required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
