A zero-tolerance policy is way too late - we need better front-end screening and very specific guidelines for minor/adult interactions. DCI is too hands off. I know there's some investigations swirling around several TOP drum corps re member health and safety (Covid related) - hopefully a sign DCI is becoming more aware - when for years the mindset was "oh, that's up to the individual corps organization blah blah" DCI responsibility doesn't begin and end at the edge of a contest field. That's a little unfair. You should have said if little boys AND little GIRLS aren't taught right from wrong... ...and I disagree. I believe that even people who are taught right from wrong do wrong. Some people are just bad. Men are also victims of assault from other men AND from women. I know from first hand experience too. That's all I will say about that. I mostly agree with what you said other than what I've added. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this is an opportunity for someone (or group) with the right experience, talent, and entrepreneurial to develop a such a system. The customers could be a myriad of youth activities. It may compete w/ Varsity, but competition is OK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. The thread has become about more than just that one person. I'm speaking to the whole as much as this specific instance, and the language comes across as ignoring a group of people that this applies to...

camel lips Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 so I have been kicked off of about 2 DCI related social media channels today for sharing a letter from DCI that he has been circulating about him being put on noticed for trespassing . Lets go for a trifecta . Im sick of this pansy rear culture we live in. He is a predator and YOU are protecting him if you are banning me from circulating it. Bunch of BS 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunch of BS So to just play devil's advocate here, I know nothing about said letter or where you got it or what its source is but if I've learned one thing since 2016, it is don't believe everything you read on the internet. How do you know whatever it is you are circulating is true and not just the work of someone good with photoshop? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the letter was first released by a reputable reporter that has been covering this case pretty much since the start. The same reporter also indicated that Hopkins attorney confirmed receipt of the letter, but didn't believe DCI had the authority to enforce it... so they were going to ignore it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to play devil's advocate here; you might try researching the sources where the letter was shared on twitter in correspondence between the investigative journalist & the subject's attorney. It's even been reposted in this thread. True statement about the internet. But the letter was confirmed by Thomas Bergstrom. Are you a friend, fan, or family member of the subject?
