GBugler Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Anyone else think that this appointment might not be the best thing for Vanguard, given what went on under Compton-Allen's watch at Shadow D&BC? https://www.tonemadison.com/articles/longtime-madison-musician-accused-of-sexual-misconduct-with-drum-corps-students I mean, SCV's board had to vet this person, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if you actually read the article? "McGlauchlen says a former student of the program came forward to Shadow's former executive director, Rebecca Compton-Allen, on May 18, 2021 to report an inappropriate relationship ...The executive committee of Shadow's board investigated the accusations, finding evidence that the relationship first began in the form of inappropriate text messages and images, then escalated to a physical relationship after the student turned 18. On May 27, McGlauchlen says, Henzie-Skogen acknowledged to Shadow's leadership that he had behaved inappropriately with the student. He was fired the same day" That's a pretty #### good handling of the situation to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewToPosting Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Less concerned about reporting to DCI. Adults are Mandatory Reporters. That means they MUST report to the police. The article is unclear whether that happened in a timely fashion or not. If they did not IMMEDIATELY report to the police, they essentially allowed an accused sexual predator to roam free. Then rather that person having a day in court (innocent until proven guilty), they name him in a press release. This activity REALLY needs to get better about this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - one's required by law, though. The reason why it's problematic to think reporting one place is equal to the other is that it is not equal in the eyes of the law. A corps reports it to an organization that does not claim to be a National Governing Body. Seems like DCI contacted Law Enforcement pretty quickly, which is great, but what about the months between when Shadow knew about it and the police? This is why just reporting it to DCI is not enough. Adults are Mandatory Reporters. Mandatory.
