I can't speak for others, I can speak for me. Reported whatever I knew. Fired coaches when I had the authority to do it. Protected my gym, employer, athletes, parents, and staff from any potential issues that could have developed once remediation was not followed. Period.
In cases where owners ALLOWED staff to date cheerleaders, I left the company and reported. I did not continue to draw a check from that evil.
If it was my child in this amount of evilness all my niceness would go away and I would not be posting on this board right now. Locked up for life would be their best-remaining bet.
I have read and heard so much about certain gyms and owners ignoring parent and athlete reports.
Or pushing kids and parents to speak to the team mom first and let that person decide whether to report it.
If my child approaches me about abuse, and I tell you about it, and you tell me to go speak to someone else, my next call is going to be to law enforcement. And it’s not for the predator. It’s for me. I’ll be in jail. We’re both making the news tonight.
