84281, In the state of Georgia, it's different. I'm not certain

About other states.

( I believe--correct me if I'm wrong) It includes College and University personnel. Aside from the law, unless you fear for your life you're a fucking coward for not stepping up.

This, in the least, is a national news story. IN THE LEAST. If you don't trust the cops, can't go to the cops, or other authorities, you leak it to an out-of-region press corps like the NYTimes.

Period. Joe could have did that. He didn't. He didn't give a shit about those kids. He had a football program to run. Kids getting fucked in the ass by a grown ass man is perfectly alright as long as he's met his minimum requirement of reporting, I guess.

This may or may not have been adjusted but what Findlaw has is consistent with what I know from state employees I know:

Physicians, hospital personnel, dentists psychologists, nurses, social workers, counselors, school teachers/officials, child welfare agency and child service organization personnel, law enforcement personnel, podiatrists
