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!
Also, any parent that agrees to let their child go on a week long stay in another state with their coach, alone, for a swim meet...well, they're either too trusting, or they're oblivious.
Or in denial? About ten years ago a friend of one of my kids stepped in front of a car when they were both high or drunk. This friend broke his femur in the accident. We had been dealing with drug and alcohol problems with our own son for awhile and thought we should say something to the friend's mom. She, even though a recovering alcoholic herself, refused to believe that her son was abusing drugs and alcohol.
As the Rockman said (YouTube- The Point), "You see what you want to see and hear what you want to hear."
