In reply to: - 's message, "Would your therapist be able to advise you on the best course of action? Sadly, I feel that going to CLRG would result in zero action being taken." on 21:33:02 09/25/18 Tue

has gone over options for me. She thinks going to CLRG could be healing for me. She knows how concerned I am about TC possibly abusing other children. She said I need to be prepared to not being believed and that could cause more trauma by re-victimising me. So that brought me here - trying to get a feel for how CLRG is when it comes to this.

This article is what really triggered this feeling of a need to come forward because so much of the coach's abuse resonated with me but obviously US gymnastics is much bigger than CLRG which makes me think they could easily bury any accusations.

Then that's what you should do. Write it all down, what happened, how it has affected you and what you would like them to do about it going forward to protect current and future students at the school. Send the letter by registered mail that they have to sign for so that they can not claim that they never received it. Ask them for a response by a certain date and let them know that if you don't receive a response, that you will be contacting your local child protection authority. Keep copies of everything you send them so that in the event you need to take it further, you have evidence that you tried to go through CLRG first. Good luck and hold your head high, you are doing the right thing. (NT) -- -, 13:24:10 09/26/18 Wed
