If there is even a hint of something along these line I donot get how people can just roll with it. tough lesson to learn at the potetial expense of your kid.
This is what is so hard to believe, because
it was their daughters put at risk, in many cases knowingly (after last years fiasco). What bargain could they have prossibly struck to put their children in harms way?
Unfathomable, even more so considering many of these parents will now entrust their daughters to the same group that ignored all the warning signs. These are the same people who slandered his past accuser, created an "us against the world" mentality within the organization, and
knowingly jeopardized the well being of their players. Why would any parent want their child around "leadership" that has demonstrated such poor character, and even worse judgment. Because they are good coaches? Really? What kind of coaches allow this to happen? Repeatedly.
If the safety of the kids is paramount, the prudent response would be to remove their children as far as possible from that unhealthy environment, and obtain restraining orders to dissuade further contact. And even with that, will they really be safe? Maybe, maybe not, but you can't do nothing. You can't buy into the same old hollow "We are TNL" party line. How could you?
The situation is indefensible. These young ladies have suffered enough. Don't subject them to the stigma forever attached to the TNL name. They are still children. Good kids. Precious. And impressionable. They deserve better.
