This leaves me wondering why parents are still permitting their children to be associated with these organizations!?! I am aware of a number of kids who have permanently injured themselves “stunting” in addition to the “sex, drugs and rock and roll” exposure that is just as permanently damaging.
One of my friends has a daughter who participated in competitive cheer until all this came out. They were unconvinced of the potentially disastrous outcomes until I forced them to read Jenn’s coverage. They believed like many, that there was the possibility of “scholarships and elite college acceptance” as a result of the daughter’s participation in cheer. What really happened was one of those permanent injuries leading to a problem with pain killers and significant family turmoil until everyone was able to see daylight at the end of the tunnel. Thankfully, it ended generally well.
