I'll start by saying I played sports and was hazed in high school and college football.  I thought it was a right of passage and actually had some benefit looking back.  Normally when I see these stories I'm skeptical of helicopter parents overreacting to the situation.  This was not the case in Sayreville.  This is the worst hazing I've ever heard of and I know if my son were on the team I would consider kicking his tail.  If my son were the one who was hazed it would test my beleif in the rule of law vs. instituting justice on my own.  I feel for the parents and it's really unfortunate for Penn State considering what they have been through.  I hope for their sake their commit wasn't involved, though I'm not sure how that could have happened.
