But there was one condition in the settlement that was unexpected—the fact that the survivors agreed to stop advocating for two specific reform bills that are currently being debated and voted on in the Michigan state legislature. The two bills seek to remove governmental immunity in cases involving childhood sexual abuse.
To keep urself from absusing them?It's the same thing with teachers. I only enter student restrooms in emergencies and avoid being alone with a student in my classroom.

Of course I know why he does it . It's to protect hisself from a false allegation. My point was it's not like the hockey league at all. The hockey league has this rule to protect kids from predatory coaches.
Worst saying it's the same implies he's a predator. Mr. Madpants appears to have recognized the juxtaposition even if he didn't like the application.

It's not doe.
I think the stuff that the Colorado hockey organization is doing is well intentioned but misguided. I think a better approach would be to ensure that people, including children and parents, are educated about sexual abuse and the signs of sexual abuse.
So would it be safe to assume that your understanding of the Colorado hockey organization's approach is limited to the blurb I shared and maybe the article linked? I ask because educating parents and kids (and coaches) about sexual abuse and the signs of sexual abuse is exactly what we spent hours doing this past weekend. In addition, the presenter addressed many relevant issues such as not elevating/glorifying coaches, the reluctance of victims to report abuse and what signs to look for, the importance of reporting crimes to the police in addition to the hockey association, the need to report policy exceptions (which may not be criminal) to the governing organization (local associations and the state organization), mandatory reporting requirements of coaches, how not to be manipulated into covering for offenders because of fear the hockey-related consequences, etc. We also discussed the precautions that I highlighted in that initial blurb from the article which were not intended to be read as the only aspect of the program.
Everyone involved knows that the program is not a 100% insurance that misconduct won't occur, but rather provides a framework to help prevent abuse, but if abuse occurs, it provides the necessary reporting structure to address the problem without being bamboozled by the idea of protecting the coach, the organization, etc.
The woman who runs the entire Colorado program is a forensic interviewer with 4000+ interviews conducted, she is a recognized expert in the field (nationally) having testified in dozens of criminal cases across the US, and she helped found one of the leading child advocacy centers in the state.
Nevertheless, thanks for the hot take.
