"They killed him," Jim Piazza said in an interview with CNN, referring to members of Beta Theta Pi who now face charges in the February 4 death of his son.
"They fed him lethal doses of alcohol and they killed him, and then they treated him like a rag doll, like road kill, they slapped him around, threw water on him, one kid punched him."

Now, I'm not saying this couldn't have happened at Ohio State or any other Big Ten university, but I think the Happy Valley culture and delusion that they live in some special bubble full of special students where nothing bad can happen probably contributed to a lax oversight of their fraternity system. Remember how the ped state administration buried their head in the sand over the frats firing full beer cans at Ohio State fans on their way to the game and tried to blame it on Pitt students (?).

"This is torture," Evelyn Piazza told CNN of her son's death. "This was callous and cold and inhumane."

"In my mind, he was murdered," Jim Piazza said. "They let him suffer for 12 hours, they let him die a very slow death. It's not any way anyone should ever be treated."
"And when they knew that death was imminent the next morning, they waited 42 minutes to call for help while they told people to clean up, cover up the evidence, get rid of it. This wasn't boys being boys, this was criminal activity," Jim Piazza added...

"They're like a criminal organization, they cover things up," Evelyn Piazza said of the IFC...

Tim Bream, has not been charged..."He has a responsibility as an adult, as their adviser, as part of the university staff, to speak up when he sees something going wrong -- he didn't."

OK. Insensitive meanness follows...

What part of this should come as a surprise? It has been five-and-a-half years since the news of the Sandusky scandal broke. That predates the registration of either one of this family's sons as a PedState student. Should we conclude they don't own a television, a computer, a newspaper subscription, or have a public library within driving range of their home? They made a conscious decision to enroll their sons there, to contribute their tuition money there, to knowingly associate their family with the shame that institution wallows in. Every single one of their complaints against PedState are simply a repetition of the characteristics everyone else has been applying to them since 2011: callous, cold, inhumane, criminal. They cover things up. They don't speak up when they see wrong committed. And now the family is shocked...SHOCKED...that the same standards of behavior have been applied in the treatment of their son?

They're unhappy now. But, they weren't too unhappy to affiliate their family with an institution already proven to be guilty of the same soulless treatment of countless other people's sons.

They obviously sent their child into the fraternity system knowing exactly what they were getting him into and now just have their hand out so the cowards on the BOT to pay them off when there is no clear facts or evidence that a crime was even committed.

I mean really, "alcohol poisoning"? Who's even heard of such a thing?
