Alright, USA Swimming. Yes, you should apologize. Step up the protection of our youth and ban these idiots who think they can get their jollies out on the youth of America. Do not become like the catholic church and try to sweep this BS under the rug. Take charge and accept the problems and DEAL WITH IT!

  • My hubby, a current police officer, made the comment, "Why are people looking for USA-S to police this, the police police this." Underneath it all, that is really what it comes down to. Notice there was no mention of anyone saying that they had gone to the police. The one mom who called 20/20 seemed like she was putting all of her hope that USA-S would take care of it. How can they, besides to fire the coach. These people need to be ARRESTED. I agree with my hubby, but also think that USA-S should really clean house as I mentioned, and like Elise, get a real screening in place. My hubby also said that with the Internet anybody can look up anything on anyone. For example, one of the idiots he arrested recently won't be prosecuted but an arrest will show up when you google his name. I suggest a webpage on USA-S where people can blog about coaches. If nothing else. I hope parent communicate to their children the importance of reporting inappropriate behavior by adults.
