[quote=Anonymous]I'm a little uncomfortable with the suggestion that the victims' parents weren't sufficiently on the case. Obviously, the Whitman parent who showed up in the zoom and made clear she monitored the communications deterred Shipley from pursuing her daughter as a victim. But I had three athletes go through Whitman, and I think each of them would have been uncomfortable with me getting between them and their coaches in this way. WW Football made it clear--we don't want to hear from parents if your kid isn't getting the look or the playtime. The relationship has to be between player and coach, etc. That instilled in me early on a hands-off approach. To be clear, we absolutely need to change the system and heighten awareness of these terrible grooming situations. But without having heightened that awareness, and while we're still learning, I don't think it's okay to smugly blame the parents of these girls or to suggest they weren't sufficiently on the case.
