Another Softball Coach Arrested for Child Molestation

[Mittfit]

The team was new and most were coming over from Rec Ball. the travel team was his own. He went from coaching from an organized Rec league to forming his own travel ball team affiliated with no travel league company. They did not have tryouts he hand pick them from Rec ball. He took advantage of kids and parents so his kids could play or say they were on a travel team. Parents eagerly joined because it was a simple way to get on a travel team without tryouts and coach and facility fees, just tournament fees. This should be a red flag for all new parents joining a team with only one coach and no checks and balances. Be on site for every game and practice.

Here is a copy of the complaint-looks like at least four different victims so far.......

This is another reason parents should not "dump and run". Even with your semi older girls. Inappropriate behaviors have many forms and if you don't pay attention the subtle stuff it gets by and before you know it it's too late. I am not in any way applying this to the parents of this team[b][/b]. It's just another reason we should not take it for granted that it won't happen to our own daughter. These scum are around more than we would like to think and will take advantage any way they can. I hope that the girls and parents can get through this awful experience, it never really leaves you. Hold tight to your daughters and know that support is out there, use it.

I have two words for you. "Public Exacution". If our liberal society would allow the truly convicted to pay the price and allow the whole world to watch, maybe just maybe it would deter the next guy from acting on a sick impulse. Fair trial first, proven guilty, end of life. Fear of death is a great deterent. Fear of three squares a day, free clothes, free housing, free medical, unlimited tv time and free reading materials just doesn't seem to be working. My .02

I'm a hawk as well. The adults our child comes into contact with know my wife and I are watching the child's every move...and theirs.

By taking an active interest in what your kids are doing, predators will be more likely to leave your kids alone and look to more vulnerable targets. It's not a 100% assurance, but sure does decrease the chances that your family will be victimized.

To those directly affected by this terrible situation, you will be in our family's thoughts.

Please, no ass-hat posts about the parents, they are suffering enough.

Dickweed...how about no ass-hat posts...period?

When my kids were 13, I knew where they were, what they were doing, who they were with...everything you could imagine...24/7. There was simply no opportunity for a slime ball to make his move because I was the on the scene, over the shoulder, everywhere and anywhere...especially when it came to any one on one moments with my DDs and another adult!

First, you deal with this feces of the earth by placing him as a roommate with 3 or 4 lifers (the large Black ones) from East LA in the federal pen,...then you go to the parents and ask, "Where the f#@k were you when this slime ball did his work???"

Congrats for a new low JOE. You better make ANOTHER $$$ to HeyBucket quick.

Why "Dickweed" when asking not to post crap on the parents that are already suffering. Hopefully YOU will get to feel what they feel some day. Glad your fantasy world is a perfect one.

I know I'm picking nits here, but if I'm not mistaken, numerous studies over the past decades have been conclusive in showing that fear of death is NOT a deterrent. Now, I do feel that the crimes of pedophiles are the worst type due to the nature of the victims, the harm done as well as the potential for a domino effect that can literally last forever with an ever expanding scope. My feeling is that these people need to be incarcerated for life with no possibility of parole. I'm against the death penalty solely on the grounds that it costs so much more to have someone on Death Row. If/When that ceases to be the case then I'm good with killing them ASAP for personal accountability reasons. These crimes aren't committed on a whim or due to a momentary lapse in judgment.

Hopefully YOU will get to feel what they feel some day.

That would require the molestation of one of my daughters....and YOU wishing that on me or anyone else says...well...uhm...? Hmmm...?

Do we need to take a peak at YOUR background check?
