I am so disappointed. CEA Raleigh Local News Coverage RICO FEDERAL SUIT This article says they are being sued by the government under RICO statutes with possible criminal charges later. What are RICO standards and how do they apply here? I always thought RICO was used for mob bosses.

Gym owners and Varsity are cheap. They don't want to spend the money for extra, high tech security to protect young children. The sad thing is that the equipment is so cheap now. You can put cameras in every room that run into your phone for about $200. I'm starting to think that if these gyms...

I never had any problems with the boys in our gym when my daughter cheered. I knew she could handle them. She knows they're not smarter than she is and she didn't have to be polite to them. I was worried ab the athletes being so close to the adult coaches. When we were at competitions, kids...

OH NO! Not again. CHEER EXTREME RALEIGH FEDERAL LAWSUIT

When my daughter was on teams with older kids, she got an education, but the older boys never did anything weird. Actually, they were very respectful. She learned a lot from the older girls. The weird things were between coaches and athletes. I never really saw anything, but my spider sense...

The flexibility on SSX is superb. Any of those girls could be point. ETA: Why is SSX always Worlds ready at Showcase???

I agree. Here's my take away: I agree. Here's my take-away: 1. Anywhere where there are vulnerable children, especially girls, although not exclusively, there will be predators. Anywhere. Church. School. Camp. Not just cheer. 2. Hiring former athletes as coaches can work. Many school...

To be fair, you don't hear allegations like this coming out of Ray's, WC or CA very often if at all. CEA is the biggest name w/this problem. I'm sure if it were WC. The focus wld be on them. Plus Twitter is not the definitive place for these complaints. It's opened Pandoras box for sure. But, I...

To show the other side of the coin, my daughter cheered at her gym for 10+ years. I watched boys grow up and become great coaches, I bounced her friends on my knee when they cried, who right before my eyes, became gracious young women. You build a level of trust with the staff as well. I helped...

Sexual misconduct in cheer: How a gym competed after being banned ^^^ USA today article.
