Sexual Abuse

...Coach abused my wife when she was young

I was looking into things about this subject, and it hit close to home with me. My wife has experienced many bizarre things while she was a gymnast, most of her life. Everything which happened to her started at the age of 13, and dealt with her gymnastic coaches. It went on into her early 20's, but it wasn't her fault. They preyed upon her, knew she was weak emotionally, she found out that these guys have done this many times before her, and while "with" her. It's all very disturbing. Have you ever put any pressure on the United States Gymnastics organization?

...Background checks

Does your league require background checks? What type of check system do they use so that there is no inside “look the other way” stuff going on?  Has your  league resisted  adding background checks to  its  program?
