Who in their right mind would think, “we need a kids coach, how about the convicted child molester? That’s a great idea”

As Dan bongino might say, “we need a kids soccer coach and our choice is the child molester, everyone, the verdict is in!”

OK, I just don't understand targeting individuals. The claim by the gym is that this person's past is fully disclosed to parents, and you have not offered any evidence that this is not true.

I'm a recent subscriber, but I'm going to unsubscribe. I cannot support the targeting of individuals in this way.

A small minority of parents for all of time have been complacent in the sexual abuse of their own children.

Also, the point of this is to highlight the absurdity of this being pushed to be acceptable, and highlighting that parents are increasingly putting their children at real risk of being sexually abused because of these pushes to “accept” what is effectively the grooming of children. This person was convicted of harming kids sexually. There are extremely high rates of recidivism among pedophiles and violent rapists of all stripes. Why would a convicted pedophile insist on working with kids knowing hurting them was a weakness which doesn’t simply vanish?

Your complaint is up there with defending convicted male rapists in women’s prison. Does it really take the predictable horrible outcome to show the risk was insanely high?

The better question is, if they were informed, why would parents allow physical contact between their children and a known child sex offender?

I’m just curious, is it truly disclosed to the parents? I would have a HARD time sending my kid there! The problem with people with these kind of issues is that they are the hardest to change. Usually they are repeat offenders. Something in their brain which makes it truly hard for recovery of this type of behavior. Just saying…

The claim is that it's disclosed, and there is no evidence to the contrary.

My larger point is that we are dealing with a single individual working at a small private business.

Going after such people is NOT what I paid to support.

This is very dangerous, and in my view, wrong.

I paid to support reporting of policies and actions at schools, hospitals, governments, and similar large institutions.

It's not going after him, it's about the gym choosing to hire him, knowing that.

What would you think about an alcoholic who's trying to quit, working as a bartender? Or a rapist working as a women's sports coach? A thief working in a jewelry store? We can and should laud a person for fighting with his demons, while also saying it's tremendously foolish to immerse yourself in temptation to do what you are vulnerable to.

I think it's up to the individuals in question to make those decisions. I don't think siccing an internet mob on this sort of situation is in any way helpful.

Siccing internet mobs on individuals is what the left does, and we should be better than that.

Mark, I understand your point of view, but pointing out individuals has been done before, albeit through their own actions. I will remain a loyal reader and supporter as we need warriors to fight back against a society that is targeting children for abuse and genital mutilation.

You're ridiculous and probably don't have kids.

There is no rehabilitation for pedophiles. They should be shamed for life and never have any contact with children. Without question, this mans identity should be made known to all. He needs to have a crystal clear understanding that there is a red line in society and once you cross that line, trust is forever eroded.

Parents! Pull your kids out of Team Vision Dojo, NOW! Team Vision Dojo obviously is into grooming.

They care more about hurting the feelings of convicted pedophiles than care about your children's safety.

Pedophiles do not change. Pedophiles do not "rehabilitate".

He will abuse again.

There’s a principal of a middle school in Bradford County who sucker punched a guy to death in Vegas, has a long criminal history of theft and violence against women, yet, there he is. The right demographic I guess.

I pulled my kid and put him in a private school nearby. The school has a lot of issues with bullying, so I’m not sure how a sucker punching principal helps that. Though, in a recent interview he did say he isn’t afraid to pin the ears back of troublesome kids, so I guess they’re in store for some tough love.
