sportsfan02 - Trust me I'm not out there stalking parents making sure abuse isn't happening. My point is that some of us, because of our professions, have to report SUSPECTED abuse. I am pretty sure that most parents who have been around sports for any length of time would know the difference between a kid getting disciplined and a kid getting shoved into a bracket wall out of anger. I'm sorry but if I saw some kid getting shoved like that I would have to let tournament officials know! On the other hand I know a lot of kids who NEED discipline who don't have it.
I'm just hoping that if more of us stand up against these "Parents/Coaches Behaving Badly" maybe they would get the message that this doesn't belong in the sport of wrestling or any other youth sports!
