The grief/ tears the woman on the video tape displayed was gut wretching. It really came thru loud and clear how horrific their sense of betrayal was.

All of them. Their actions, coupled with that statement yesterday, would appear to have sealed their fate. Sounds like some decent folks with ties to the Cadets are prepared to clean house. Good for them. I wish them great success in their efforts to get control there....and before its too late.

FTNK Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I think the new directors of the corps know what needs to be done, but the board controls them not the other way around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does anyone read DCW anymore? I would think someone would notice an ad looking for board member applicants and think it was weird. Maybe someone should ask DCP if they ever sold an ad for such purpose. I do believe and have said that I think that the board existed only because they legally had but I don't know that I would believe it would be filled by a newspaper ad. Board positions are supposed to be voted on by members, not applied for and awarded like a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbrassboy Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 1 hour ago, BRASSO said: I agree with this. According to the Philly Inquirer reporter, the YEA BOD was told by the Victim's Atty ( Hahn ) the details of each of the 9 separate acts of sexual abuse spanning decades. Only the names were withheld. But those names AND the women would be provided for interviews to YEA, if YEA agreed to suspend GH, and allow for a 3rd party independent investigation of the victims alleged abuses. If these are the terms, given the fact the alleged victimization spanned decades, involved 9 people, and the sheer numbers of victims that will be made available for interviews to the YEA Board, it seems a no brainer to me. The YEA BOD needed to go immediately to GH and tell him he needs to step aside for a bit until this matter can be resolved by a 3rd party investigation, then DCI immediately notified as well of their decision. The YEA BOD however, in their quest to protect YEA made a decision ( allowing GH to stay on with these multiple allegations from victim's Atty swirling about ) that was actually perhaps counterproductive to that quest. Given the depth, breadth, numbers of the multiple acts of sexual abuse allegations, the YEA BOD had a moral, ethical, perhaps legal, obligation to make certain that the Cadets MM's, staffers, workers were now in no future potential harm. The current YEA BOD failed .. miserably... in their duties to fall on the side of caution and safety above all else, particularly when its a YOUTH organization they are representing. And didn't they also fail in not reporting this to DCI in January? If so, will DCI kick them to the curb for not following policy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim can back me up on this because he asked the question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
