My son plays on a pee wee football team in North Texas. I just found out that his coach is a registered sex offender. I called and talked to the commissioner about it and he says that he isn't required to check backgrounds of the volunteer coaches, and that he is aware of his record, but it wasn't against a child so he doesn't think there is a problem...
I know I can just not let my son(s) play in the association, but its still wrong. He said the man will be allowed to coach again.
I called the Editor of our local paper but who else can I talk to???!!
Any ideas about this would be great. I think parents should know who is teaching their children!|||oh wow i would of lost my ****.i probably would of hit that man,im glad you called the paper,maybe they can give you some other people to contact.i would absolutely contact every team members parents to let them know also.who the hell do they think they are putting those kids in harms way?i would make a much fuss as i possibly could....you got the right idea.|||UH HELLO! THE POLICE.
its obvious that hes not allowed around young children, most sex offenders arent even allowed to live around schools... that should give you the hint that hes doing something wrong.
its your choice, sit on your *** while your sons being coached by a sex offender, or do everything you can to change it.|||First I am very suprised to hear that they don't do background checks on volunteer coaches and even more so that someone knew this guy was a sex offender. Regardless whether it was against a child or not, that's definately not cool. I would contact a child advocate perhaps. They are all about protecting children and would probably try to help you out.|||I wouldn't go spreading that around just yet. You have no idea what really happened and it wasn't against a child. It's rather easy to get on that list these days and it could be an old offense. I understand your concerns,I would have them to, but I wouldn't call the paper. Try talking to him about it if it bothers you so much.|||Well you can simply let all the other parents know. If the commissioner is aware then I guess he is legally allowed to couch, although I think maybe he is not. Usually sex offenders are not allowed to work with kids though. Maybe you could look into the laws about that.|||im sure if all the parents are aware he will be forced to move on to another job. and it should be mandatory that all the parents be aware who is around their children, especially when this isn't the volunteers sole income. he has no reason to be around kids at all....|||if you don't like it just take your kid out. no need to ruin this guy's job, maybe send a letter out to the other parents so they can be informed... but let them make their own decisions.
you don't even know what he did... and regardless of what he did, he served his time and it wasn't against a kid.|||Have you talked to the coach yet?
Maybe he can clear things up for you, because I don't think you know the details.
Like the guy above said, find out the facts before you judge.|||There are about 20 Registered Sex Offenders just In my Neighborhood. Don't worry about It.|||health department, police department, the leagues manager, parole office, cps
midnight is actually correct. here where I live, all you have to do is have indecent exposure. like if say the neighbor walked into your fenced back yard and saw something, they will have to register|||Call and talk to the police.|||I don't agree with them not doing background checks if he is working with children.. regardless of a persons history it should be done.
However, you don't know the details as to what happens so you should assume he is a horrible person. If you don't want your kid around him that's fine, but don't ruin whatever future he has, or break down everything he may have built back up.
For all you know he could of gotten in a fight with her an she cried wolf.. bam he has a record for life! My 18 year old step brother had sex with a 15 year old that told him and everyone else she was 18, she got caught by her mom and to get out of trouble so she said he raped her. He is now in prison for another 2 years and has to register as a sex offender.. is he a bad person? nope. The girl has 3 different myspaces lol 3 different towns 3 different ages, and has cried wolf about 2 other guys, however since she said he raped her he is automatically at fault.... you cant just go making assumptions.|||You should find out details before you start ruining this person's career. You do realize that many people on the registry actually did nothing wrong. Do you know that a a 19 year old who has consensual sex with a 17 year old, and the parents of the younger press charges he can be forced to register? Do you think its fair to ruin a man's career because 10 years ago he had sex with his girlfriend? Im not saying this is the case, what I am saying is that you should find the details before you crucify him for this.|||If you're trying to get him kicked off for volunteering...than you're just going to have to make it as public as possible (and possibly ruining this man's life for something he already paid for) and hope that the administrators break. But you making it known is no guarantee that they will. I wouldn't go public with it.
And it's not like it's illegal for him to be coaching kids. Not unless he's on probation AND not being allowed to be around kids is a term of his probation.
That's why your only option is to make it public. And like i said, even that's not 100% guarantee. If it doesn't work and you're that against him coaching your kids, it might just come down to you pulling them out. If it were me...i would check into why he's listed as a sex offender. If it didn't have anything to do with kids, i would just leave it.|||the fact that they arent required to do background checks on ANYONE that works that closely with children is beyond me. like i couldnt even get over that to digest that rest. it is def wrong for him to even think of being a coach knowing he was a registered sex offender and if someone found out ( even though it wasnt against a child) that they no doubt would be concerned and would say something to someone. i don't even know what to say really because if you go to the school board or whoever im sure they are going to tell him he cant coach anymore and its gonna get around hes a registered offender which means him and his family will have to move for sure. the offense wasnt against a child so i guess its kind of a thing that you have to think about the consequences it will do to his family. im not defending him by any means im just saying his offense wasnt against a child (not saying its right against anyone period) and was 15 yrs ago so i dont know.
also i heard that sex offenders had too have some kind of sign in their yard that says they are a sex offender so that their neighbors will know? it sounds obsurd but i didnt know if that was true|||The HELL he isnt supposed to be doing background check on the coach. Not only should you go to the police ASAP not only should the coach be kicked off the field and what not he should also get charged because most offenders have order that there not allowed within 5000 feet of children or some sort. Not only is there a big problem with that but with the comissoner and whoever else knew he was an registered offender and they still let him on the field. Definitely go to the local paper and newstation but you alsos need to go the cops and let it be known.|||you snitch, u get hit.
Trust me on this one. Someone will find out then come for you.
