[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In other words parents need to mobilize when they have something to report. Share with the media and make sure MCPS knows it will be held to account. Trust is not a strategy here. [/quote]

If your child comes forward with information about a well liked teacher/coach, how does one mobilize support?

Do you show everyone the text messages?

Tell all the other parents the coach would drive a child alone in his car?

Do you remind parents about the time the coach had a practice in his neighborhood and kids went to his house?

Or the time he stopped by unannounced at your house?

Or the really good players that would drop the team altogether?

The reality is that people will believe whatever they want to believe and some are likely to turn on the victim.  The victim is then hurt by an adult they trusted as a teacher and a coach, but also by the community that ostracized the student for speaking up.

MCPS has the text messages which are black and white but just be warned, MCPS didn’t do anything. The teacher/coach is still working with students in MCPS. It’s more than just the Principal who know the evidence my child had on a cell phone. Try Central Office and even members of the Board of Ed knows. MCPS will keep a staff member who is checking off all the boxes as a child predator until the police make the arrest. [/quote]
