that being said...with all of these horror stories, there are lessons to be learned...
No child should share a hotel room with an adult who is not their parent/family member/legal guardian.
No child should travel alone with an adult who is not their parent/family member/legal guardian.
Children should not train alone in a gym - with no other athletes present, or other adults presents.
When coaches counsel an athlete, they should remain visible to others...no closed doors...or have an office with a window.
There are many simple thing that can be done that protect the kids - but also protect the adults from false accusations.
True.
