Unhappy Protecting the Institution

This appears to be just another case of someone protecting the "Institution" at the expense of a child. How many times is it that an Institution is protected and there is outrage when leaders, etc. are charged with abuse of children as it will have a negative effect on the "Institution". Many raise to the defense of the person who abused the child in order to protect the institution. How many will say they feel sorry for Paterno when in fact they
want to protect the image of the Institution. How many will try to defend the Institution which failed the child as it [Institution] did not ensure the enviorement at the Institution was such as to make sure all knew the penalty and seriousness of any volation. Was Paterno's only notification to the Management of Sports at Penn State was kept quiet so as to protect the Institution and therefore it was not reported to the police?
The child is always more important than any institution.
