[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That article makes me so angry. I realize it's not a novel concept that the media manipulates and spins information to support a narrative but sheesh.  This makes it sound like a meet marshal is empowered to enforce the rules. That's like saying an usher at a baseball game can call balls and strikes. 
Also still waiting for the OP to acknowledge the fact that the child in question was, in fact, a female.  Not that it matters.  His behavior was reprehensible regardless. But his lack of response to that fact further demonstrates that this was a stunt to take a stand on an issue. At the expense of a child and a community organization.    [/quote]

I keep thinking about the fact that this was a 7 year-old girl. 7 year-olds still sleep with stuffed animals. I cannot imagine the psychic harm of knowing that this adult man decided she was insufficiently feminine, and seeing her accomplishment crossed out in a public space.

That poor baby. [/quote]

I keep thinking of Luis’s six children.  I can’t imagine what the home life must be like with such an explosive, obsessive parent.  Safe places like swim team and friends houses are so critical for kids who live with parental mental illness and this action has probably taken those things away from them.
