Well, was the video public? Was the kid snorting the pixie dust pretending it was coke? Why make such a video in the first place?
I'm not saying it's okay for anon accounts to publicly embarrass other people but I think CSP took it too far. We are the adults and we are supposed to act like it. I know I'm the minority on how I feel about this but I think if more coaches/owners Took accountability on how they behave on social media maybe their athletes will learn a thing or two.
Believe I feel for CE, seems like anons love to tear them apart but I wish this was handled in a different manner.
I wish more gyms would disinclined their athletes for behavior like this.

There wasn't a video. There was blackmail of a video. There was only a picture, that I did see. I actually saw 2 pictures - 1 from the anon and 1 from the friend of the person involved. It was definitely a pixie stick. Granted the person involved shouldn't have taken a picture that lead to people making up false rumors. However, I 110% agree with how CSP handled this situation. NO PERSON should be able to create an anon account for the purposes of cyber bullying. It is absolutely awful how these accounts handle theirselves online. And those people that let it happen are just as at fault as the anon accounts are. As parents and community we are devastated when a fellow cheerleader resorts to suicide because of cyber bullying. And always ask ourselves what we could have done to prevent it. THIS was CSP's way of dealing with it before it got out of hand and the person felt like there was no other alternative to handle the rumors being spread about them. Also, rumors are one thing. What was being spread could have led that person to being UN-necessarily arrested. And let's not forget that cyber-bullying is a CRIME. This is not a time we need to be saying "poor anon, they got their feelings hurt." They were constantly after CSP, her child Kenley and all of the athletes at CEA. It was ridiculous, inflamatory and defamation of character. There were many other ways that this could have gone down. But CSP handled it with class. All she did was mention her name and show her picture. There were no bad things that were said about her. No false rumors that were spread. We did not step down to her level. We just put a stop to the cyber-bullying that was occurring to our athletes and our coaches.
