WinForPooh Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Makes you wonder how many predators have been shielded for years by people who were supposed to protect skaters. Makes you wonder how many are still skating by under the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sombreuil Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 A 60 day reporting rule is so stringent considering the difficulty that victims of abuse have to face in coming forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anski Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Im so angry that this continues to happen in our sport. Minors share so much with adults with spaces (they train together, travel together, compete together...) I think the ISU and the Federations should work harder to protect them.

liv Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Beyond the first feelings of shock and horror and disappointment, am I alone in wondering why some men feel the need to send pictures of their parts to females, and even worse, females who are children? I just don't understand. How awful for these girls, and everything they experienced afterwards from adults in positions of trust. I really want to understand what went on here... especially the *why? and how could you?* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to understand what went on here... especially the *why? and how could you?* Spoiler because they are sexual predators,I don't speak of MC in particular but when a man in his late 20's thinks it's fine to send a d*** pic to a 13 y.o. girl,rest assure it's not the 1st time he does that.One doesn't suddendly start to behave like a stalker,a molester or a rapist,it is a common M.O.,one they've been having for a long time..until they are arrested usually. Hopefully this will open the discussion of what to do when young girls and boys are involved in a sport and the need to protect them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
