All-Star Cheer "coach" Sends Nude Photos To Teen

[kristenthegreat]

Sorry, you are wrong here! She is a victim. She is a minor, did she show poor judgement? absolutely, but the reason we have laws protecting minors from predatory adults is because their brains are still developing, they do not have all the tools in place (biologically and environmentally) to protect themselves.

Actually- I remember hearing about somewhere in the Midwest (I think?) minor girls who willingly sent shots of themselves to someone/posted them online were NOT charged with child pornography (which is what they started to do in order to 'protect' the girls from themselves), because the judge said it was a protected thing? Or something? I can't remember the details..I've been trying to find it.

ETA: Things like this always make me sad. It is because of the 'Girl/Boy-Who-Cried-Wolf' Few that the 'Real-Victim' many are viewed with suspicion..we have such a blame-culture when it comes to sexual assault/rape BECAUSE you have those people who cry foul for whatever selfish reasons of their own (money, notoriety, retaliation for a perceived 'wrong'). Not saying this girl is lying, obviously not..but it always makes me think about it.

Until my Suzie got kicked off of Craptastic All-Stars Bedets' Level 7 team, I would say that they absolutely flushed those other minor programs down the toilet.

Dear Suzie's Dad,

While we could put up with Suzie refusing to practice her signature stunt screaming at our coaches like a constipated hyena that "She had to Go Now or Else", we would of never kicked Suzie off the team if you had not resorted to paying your out of control outstanding gym bill with Monopoly money. This is simply unacceptable. However we are willing to either take her back or sign her release under the following conditions. That you stop giving her Benefiber before practice and that you consent to stop posting lies on the Fierceboard and Facebook about our program for the next 30 consecutive days. Twitter and Formspring are ok since everyone knows that is full of lies.

Sincerely,

Craptastic AS

It's amazing how these "coaches" can not only continue to do what they do but are encouraged and SUPPORTED by their victims.

It's because "he REALLY loves me," and "I can't believe he did that, his kid is sooooooo cute."
Once we realize that anyone is capable of anything, we'll be a lot better off. I don't chalk this up to pervs and pedophiles, either. I think it's a basic human lust and lack of morals and allowing impulsive behavior. Call me the crazy gym mom who never leaves, but you probably won't find my kid alone in the gym with her coaches. Even though I don't think most of them swing that way.

she may be the 'victim' but truth be told at 15 you should know right from wrong and you should have some trigger in your brain saying 'hmm maybe i shouldnt send a naked picture of myself to a 30 year old man' yeah sure the guys a dirty creep but the girl is not 100% innocent in this either had the guy said 'if you dont send me naked pictures i'll hunt you down and blah blah blah' yeah different story she is now the victim but he didnt she compromised herself and put herself in the position of being the victim

unfortunately, sometimes i wonder if everyone's 'trigger' has been turned off. i can see it both ways as far as your comments on the girl, however, with ROLE models like Amber and Farrah from Teen Mom, along with the latest crop on teen mom 2, the kardasisian's (however it's spelled), britney, rhianna, niki manag (whatever), jersey shore meatballs, along with any other over sexualized, overtly sexual 'celebrity', absentee or un-interested parents, its no small wonder young people make poor judgement calls. WHEW, sorry about that rant!! I have to wonder what the girls' parents were doing when all this was going on, added to smoking and drinking at 15!!

PLEASE KNOW that i am in NO WAY CONDONING the man's heinous actions, he should be catrasted and jailed!! But when you combine sick-o adults with kids w/o boundries, this is what you can end up with, or far worse!!

It's the past few days like these that make me miss the old heated threads. Would someone from F5/SE/WCSS please say they are better and everyone else is terrible from F5/SE/WCSS?

Is now a good time to ask why there is no Junior 5 at Worlds anymore? Those kids deserve it along with Senior 5 Restricted teams that have the capability if they hit everything and everyone has a good day to be as good as Senior Elite.

The coach is wrong, but the GIRL is just as big of an idiot as this guy is. He's an idiot for thinking it's alright because she smokes and drinks already. Where does that lead you to thinking a girl half your age is okay to flirt with? To the girl, why do you think it's okay to flirt with your coach, a man that is twice your age, or to send naked pictures of yourself to anyone? The fact that she didn't see anything wrong with this and that she wasn't afraid he would hurt her, but that she was afraid practice would be awkward -___-

I just busted out laughing from this! Ugh, I love fb humor...and CAS!

And everyone with a bid deserves to be there because they got the bid. Passed down 24 times on April 2nd...

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Society today looks at every possible excuse to blame someone else for their child making a mistake. Yes, she did make a mistake, and she WILLINGLY made that mistake. Unless he got her naked, held her hand, and snapped the picture with a gun behind her head, she's not a victim. She's (as far as we know) a mentally capable 15 year-old who should be plenty mature enough to realize that sending naked pictures of yourself to a 30 year-old coach is wrong, and that 30 year-old coach wanting them is even more wrong. Claim all you want that kids are growing up, and changing, but if I went out into the street and talked to 11 year old girls (I'm talking about 11, not even 15) and said "If a 30 year-old man texted you and asked you to send a naked picture to him, would you?" I would bet you every single dollar to my name that they would say it's wrong. Don't you DARE tell me a 15 year-old is not capable of realizing that.

I'm gonna lock this thread as there's not too much more we can go down this route.
