There is a young man that was on my daughter's swim team and Junior Lifeguard class. Great kid. Everyone associated with the team, players and parents alike, are fond of him.
A couple of years ago (when he was about 13 or 14) his father got arrested when a young woman at the private girl's school he was a teacher at came forward to say that he had molested her and coerced her into things she wasn't comfortable with (to be as delicate as I can).
Ever since then I have been concerned for this young man and the rest of his family. I can't imagine what that kid had to be experiencing. My father was a prominent private school educator, so I get how such a public scandal is a big deal even within that community, but when it plays out in the news . . . it must be devastating to have your parent branded as a social pariah. Last I heard the young man was doing ok as far as everyone knows, but still. This story stirred up that concern for my daughter's friend. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

Just plain awful. Every parent's nightmare. My sympathies to the family. |
