<raises hand> I'll play. I was not aware Zig had this open request thing. And I'd be loathe to ask him anything after the way he treated me over the phone. That was pretty bad.
Anyway - Listened to the first podcast. Interesting the $7 Million this Neff guy got. I'd be curious if his lawyer will suffer any professional blowback on this, or decision makers at PSU that approved this, or is it just a matter that since Penn State rolled over and paid these unvetted claimants - it's just "oh well"? I have no idea how that works - and at this point, I don't give a rip how much Penn State has paid out. Eff Em.
My biggest question for Zig is why he doesn't address Jack Raykovitz's failure to implement a written safety plan after both the 1998 & 2001 reports. Jack knows full well that Jerry is accessing Second Mile kids in flagrant Out-Of-Program contact. Unless Jack was shitting us all in that Dauphin County courtroom last March, Jack pretty much admitted he knew Jerry was clearly acting outside his prescribed role with the charity, which places Jerry at massive risk.
This is a HUGE red flag - and Jack simply rolled it up and kicked it under his desk (or maybe the cocktail table over at the Autoport Lounge where Jack seemed to spend most of his time)
If CEO Jack and his charity VP/wife had practiced proper oversight - Aaron Fisher never happens. Which still begs the question - what the hell was Jack and Katherine doing?
I still can't get past the hurdle of an adult climbing into bed with a minor, disrobing & exposing yourself to a minor, kissing/cuddling a minor, personally communicating with a minor, babysitting a minor at their home, etc. These are all activities, especially when you add in the radioactive element of at-risk kids from dysfunctional families - just sets you up for MAJOR problems. A kids charity chairman, who can't grasp that......well, I just don't know what else to say.
