    Being that I don't have a daughter, I am curious to see the reaction of parents if this happened on your team. Please see the attached video link from ESPN's Outside the Lines regarding a softball coach that lost her job because her husband was a registered sex offender and involved with the team. Your thoughts?

    As far as their story goes I think the father trusted his instincts. It definitely would have raised my instincts--then and now.

    Kids at that age level are far too vulnerable to take risks. College level would be ok.

    I feel bad for the coach and her husband; they may be totally innocent. But there's too much smoke there.

    Makes me wonder why the husband pleaded GUILTY, if he didn't do anything wrong. I mean , it's not like waiving a traffic ticket that was questionable. He had to have know, from his attorney, that he would have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. Tough situation though. I can see both sides. In the end , you have to protect the girls , at any cost. It is a tragic story,if he didn't do it. We will probably never know.
