Nearly 8,000 Trained As Mandated Reporters At Penn State Since April



Nearly 8,000 Penn State employees and volunteers have now attended the University's professional training program designed to help employees recognize and report suspected child abuse.
 
Face-to-face training sessions began in April so the University could address an immediate need to train employees, also identified as "authorized adults," who would be working with children at numerous summer camps and workshops at University Park and other Penn State campuses across the commonwealth.
 
The second stage of the program -- an online counterpart originally intended for a fall 2012 rollout but delayed because of unanticipated technological challenges -- is now scheduled to be released in early 2013.
School Officials say the program is part of an initiative to help ensure a safe community for children with the goal of educating the University community about child abuse and reporting, and move people from an awareness of the issue toward having confidence to take action.

I would've just posted this on Facebook, but Facebook doesn't allow you to post GIFs (like this little animation). Maybe the $1.1 BILLION price tag isn't so crazy?
