Sexual Abuse in Sports

I don't know how people are going to react to this post.

But this is real. This is important and it is happening in girls basketball.

Players and parents should be aware and educated on this subject.

There was a recent story on ESPN's Outside the Lines about a young lady that was molested by her swim coach. She was 14 years old. Watch the video for her story.



Although Outside the Lines focused on swimming, again it happens in girls basketball.

Tips for Parents from Dr. Robert Shoop, Director, Cargill Center for Ethical Leadership

**Look for Problems, Don't wait til they come to you
**Talk to your child everyday and ask how things are going
**Look for warning signs (constantly transporting child alone, massaging)

Watch Dr. Shoop
