yeah well: My surname means Rock in Russian, so I think I get it.

Sorry for being so disrespectful to you, I obviously look up to you as an individual. And I climb there in Columbia when I can. So you must forgive the frustration in my voice. To me: It could be a job opportunity. I hope you understand I'm just trying to help.

Despite his having admitted to it, the entire situation could begin to appear as if they only did these things in their minds. obviously, there needs to be some burden of proof, a confession and a statement from a 14 year old are two very important pieces of information. But how will anything be found if no one chases it out?

And excuse me ma'am: I'm only tell you who I am, and why you wanted me here in the first place. I'm trying to get back to Russia but the money from disability just doesn't pile up quick enough. Fortunately, I have a ticket to work andI'm diagnosed bi-polar. Go figure, being named after a volcano and becoming diagnosed with bi-polar.

Thankyou for you help.

I'm fairly certain you've just demolished any chance you had of getting Lyons' job.

But keep in mind: things happen for a reason. again I remind you, Saints Walk the earth, in this instance. The child will be heavily monitored until the whole truth and nothing but the truth comes to light.

keep your mind current about it all.

Yup. Fairly certain.

That poster might be one who went through a spress at another rock climbing site. As he mentioned being bi-polar, I think that is probably an indication that yes, you shouldn't be too concerned with deciphering comments and responding.

But to NotApplicable - I don't think he is a troll, but possibly genuinely ill.


As for some of the other caustic comments, FFMichelle - REALLY, do NOT let them get to you. You are under ZERO obligation to respond. Some of these comments are like ones we see on accident threads where a person was killed or seriously injured and, knowing family members were reading the thread, instead of having some modicum of empathy, they continued to post things like "Dumb F deserved it..." and such.

I am sure many here appreciate your input and perspective.

The photo of Obe is entirely appropriate and has to do with my discussion/argument with Ceebo (I am an idiot apparently). I don't think everyone needs to be monitored all the time, or sent to the bathroom in pairs. Climbing with a kid in Hueco is entirely appropriate and that is my point. The hype surrounding this subject is getting out of hand. Adults have always had relationships with kids, and it may even involve appropriate touching. If we deciede that everyone needs to be 100% monitored all the time, then we lose the trust that these adult/kid relationships are built on.

But fine, since you are going to make it your life work, and Obe's, (ooohooo, I'm scared) apparently to track me down for posting a photo of him to prove a point that appropriate relationships are possible without constant monitoring, then I'll take it down.

but, since you were bright enough to re-post my point, you will have to take your down or I'll get Obe to find you!

Ceebo... I think the point is that your metaphorical lion in this case has a brain and level of awareness that is meant to keep him from acting in a primal way. The fact that he acted without regard for anyone but himself and that he did something wrong is the issue at hand. To put it bluntly, that child could have stripped down and put herself on top of him and as the adult in the situation he should have gone to her parents and let them know what was happening. As the adult, it was his responsibility to show her the right way. Quotes from video and various articles indicate that as an 'adult' in charge of children he made comments to the effect of a team party having 'girls dancing on guys and guys dancing on girls', that he asked when this young girl was going to 'take care of him' or when it was going to be 'his turn' and his 8anu page has a quote that states his hobby is 'hiding in the woods from the police'. He is 31 years old in the role of a mentor for young children. It appears that he was not behaving in that way long before this event. This is not about society or what the girl did or did not do. This is about an adult who behaved in an illegal and inappropriate manner.

If this is true, his boss should have been aware of it, should have investigated, should have shit-canned him, and then turned him over to the cops.

GO
My kids, who were on the team, claim they never heard of this. YET, I do know that things are said to kids this age and back and forth and these kids are not going to report on it. They were having fun with it. It wasn't until the investigation by police, that most of these comments were brought to anyones attention. Once the police notified Earthtrek they put him on administrative leave and very shortly afterward they terminated him. Kids will not tell parents things like that are going on all the time. They are young teens and intrigued and testing the waters. I get all the more that that makes his position dangerous, yet until something happens, then it is time to change things. As a parent that was present at the gym for most of the practices, it seemed very safe to me with so many ppl including me being around the kids etc. It is very sad but we will learn from it and move on and hope for the best for the young woman and her parents involved. Michael spoke to me often when I was at the gym, I feel like an idiot for not noticing anything, yet he was always pleasant, charismatic, excited about the teams events and work outs. There were no signs that would lead me to question him at all. Actually, to be truthful here, when we were notified that 'someone' was arrested and put on administrative leave, he was the LAST person I had suspected! I went to the gym the next night and was going to ask him if I needed to be concerned for my kids. All of the parents were shocked and feel betrayed. All of this being said, this will continue to happen, it is real life and unfortunate.

FFM - the post quoted above states that the guy has said on video, in published interviews, and on his 8a.nu site, things that should have raised suspicion. He may have been a perfect gentleman to you and the other parents, but if what realityclimber claims is true, that should have been enough for the guy's boss to do a little quiet investigation.

I'm not saying *you* should have known. I'm saying that the guy's boss maybe should have seen a red flag at some point, based on repeated public statements by one of his employees.

(To me) the picture of Obe doesn't imply anything about Obe. When it got linked on climbingnarc, it was to show that a lot of climbing gyms foster a family of sorts, and close physical contact is not uncommon and doesn't not raise a lot of flags in many contexts.

ET is a large part of my family, and has been for over half a decade. I saw Mike less than a week before his arrest, and was commenting to others about his level of dedication to the Team, and the sport, chairing coaches committees and taking Team ET to a top national position repeatedly.

That said, it's always sat funny with me when I see junior team kids sitting in coaches laps (which I've seen more of than I care to admit, across a number of gyms).

Fairly?

My birthday is July 11th, and I kind of work for the cops right now.

Besides: Get an attitude with me, I will NIP IT IN THE BUD, it was an advertisement for parent coach contact and conversation. Also I keep ridiculously good files.

But you opinion is your opinion and I can't change that. accept, believe and move on.

I wonder why you incite me to rage: Simply because you'd like to have clean system? Well I'm sorry friend, I can't work for law breakers anymore. Thanks!

I am female.

I have a close relationship with the police because my cousin with whom I share a last name is a criminal defense lawyer.

I was just trying to help the case: As for Lyon's job, I don't believe posting a little bit of "sexually traumatic" attitude on a thread which is asking quite clearly how the rock climbing community will be affected by this occurrence is inappropriate at all.

As an immigrant to the United States of America, where English is still spoken and read despite the founding father's having been found guilty of treason, I apologize if my posts are difficult to decipher. But I do in fact live in the real world, and I have a history and life story.

I thought you all would be interested, because as I explained, in my native tongue, the name which I share with my other family members has meaning. In that language, it means rock. If you are unable to read my posts, then don't read them. If you are scared of me, for whatever reason I would not blame you. Life can become confusing sometimes. Confusion generally turns to anger, and while I do not hit without first being assaulted, it is clear, yyou would be friends have devised a method for making an enemy out of this thread, and the work I am willing to produce on this topic.

I was simply displaying an attitude which may be relevant to the topic at hand. I mean no disrespect and care immensely for everyone of you. I have just begun therapy for my anger, and am hoping to get my job back. I was a Division One athlete, my name is Jessica Kaminkow. I attended Columbia University for two years, and have since left the University in order to allow for the money which was "mine" to be used by the military and government to uphold treaties. Perhaps you are wondering why your prayers aren't being answered. All I can say folks, is that life costs money and I have very little of my own right now.I believe I speak for many members of the US, and I also believe I am telling you the truth about why my post was even mentioned. Perhaps next time I will adopt an air of paranoia as to avoid unwanted contact (in text or on the rocks) with any of you.

In the future, if you'd like to have your way with me, just send a private message. I will respond as quickly as possible.

Confusion generally turns to anger, and while I do not hit without first being assaulted, it is clear, yyou would be friends have devised a method for making an enemy out of this thread, and the work I am willing to produce on this topic.

I was simply displaying an attitude which may be relevant to the topic at hand. I mean no disrespect and care immensely for everyone of you. I have just begun therapy for my anger, and am hoping to get my job back. I was a Division One athlete, my name is Jessica Kaminkow. I attended Columbia University for two years, and have since left the University in order to allow for the money which was "mine" to be used by the military and government to uphold treaties. Perhaps you are wondering why your prayers aren't being answered. All I can say folks, is that life costs money and I have very little of my own right now.I believe I speak for many members of the US, and I also believe I am telling you the truth about why my post was even mentioned. Perhaps next time I will adopt an air of paranoia as to avoid unwanted contact (in text or on the rocks) with any of you.

Probably for the best

My birthday is July 11th, and I kind of work for the cops right now.

Besides: Get an attitude with me, I will NIP IT IN THE BUD, it was an advertisement for parent coach contact and conversation. Also I keep ridiculously good files.

But you opinion is your opinion and I can't change that. accept, believe and move on.

I wonder why you incite me to rage: Simply because you'd like to have clean system? Well I'm sorry friend, I can't work for law breakers anymore. Thanks!


GONGRADULATION!

My thoughts exactly, except that the majority of the spellings are correct.

Ceebo... I think the point is that your metaphorical lion in this case has a brain and level of awareness that is meant to keep him from acting in a primal way. The fact that he acted without regard for anyone but himself and that he did something wrong is the issue at hand. To put it bluntly, that child could have stripped down and put herself on top of him and as the adult in the situation he should have gone to her parents and let them know what was happening. As the adult, it was his responsibility to show her the right way. Quotes from video and various articles indicate that as an 'adult' in charge of children he made comments to the effect of a team party having 'girls dancing on guys and guys dancing on girls', that he asked when this young girl was going to 'take care of him' or when it was going to be 'his turn' and his 8anu page has a quote that states his hobby is 'hiding in the woods from the police'. He is 31 years old in the role of a mentor for young children. It appears that he was not behaving in that way long before this event. This is not about society or what the girl did or did not do. This is about an adult who behaved in an illegal and inappropriate manner.

If this is true, his boss should have been aware of it, should have investigated, should have shit-canned him, and then turned him over to the cops.

GO
My kids, who were on the team, claim they never heard of this. YET, I do know that things are said to kids this age and back and forth and these kids are not going to report on it. They were having fun with it. It wasn't until the investigation by police, that most of these comments were brought to anyones attention. Once the police notified Earthtrek they put him on administrative leave and very shortly afterward they terminated him. Kids will not tell parents things like that are going on all the time. They are young teens and intrigued and testing the waters. I get all the more that that makes his position dangerous, yet until something happens, then it is time to change things. As a parent that was present at the gym for most of the practices, it seemed very safe to me with so many ppl including me being around the kids etc. It is very sad but we will learn from it and move on and hope for the best for the young woman and her parents involved. Michael spoke to me often when I was at the gym, I feel like an idiot for not noticing anything, yet he was always pleasant, charismatic, excited about the teams events and work outs. There were no signs that would lead me to question him at all. Actually, to be truthful here, when we were notified that 'someone' was arrested and put on administrative leave, he was the LAST person I had suspected! I went to the gym the next night and was going to ask him if I needed to be concerned for my kids. All of the parents were shocked and feel betrayed. All of this being said, this will continue to happen, it is real life and unfortunate.

FFM - the post quoted above states that the guy has said on video, in published interviews, and on his 8a.nu site, things that should have raised suspicion. He may have been a perfect gentleman to you and the other parents, but if what realityclimber claims is true, that should have been enough for the guy's boss to do a little quiet investigation.

I'm not saying *you* should have known. I'm saying that the guy's boss maybe should have seen a red flag at some point, based on repeated public statements by one of his employees.

GO
I did see that stuff after the fact, and if I had seen it or the gym owner/employees then yes, I whole heartedly agree about them looking into it. We need to be a unit working together to keep all of us safe from nutcases! I have to say, I still haven't sorted my feelings on this, there are so many emotions from a parents standpoint for the kids, the team and
family involved. I have decided the kids and I are going to attend the court proceedings so they can learn more about it. :/ Take care everyone! :)

If you want safety you have to sacrifice.. quite simple. Clearly you don't want that.. so i guess you are the type of person who does not like cctv cam's either?. OMG! the intrusion.. how can you expect to live.. when you can not buy a bottle of pop at the shop with ought being watched by a street cam. The next day a guy rolls in with a shotgun and robs the place killing the only witness in the process. 2 weeks later he is caught as a direct result of cctv footedge. Put in jail.. will not kill another person (who we give a shit about anyway).

Again, people like you are purely selfish or lack understanding. You're an idiot.

OMG! Ceebo the perps are everywhere! track them! Good thing they caught this guy on camera:

Not appropriate, superchuffer and a pretty adolescent contribution to a serious subject. Also not amusing if that was your intent and borderline libelous. You'd be well advised to delete your post before Obe finds it and makes it his life's work to find you. And I'd be happy to help him.

The photo of Obe is entirely appropriate and has to do with my discussion/argument with Ceebo (I am an idiot apparently). I don't think everyone needs to be monitored all the time, or sent to the bathroom in pairs. Climbing with a kid in Hueco is entirely appropriate and that is my point. The hype surrounding this subject is getting out of hand. Adults have always had relationships with kids, and it may even involve appropriate touching. If we deciede that everyone needs to be 100% monitored all the time, then we lose the trust that these adult/kid relationships are built on.

But fine, since you are going to make it your life work, and Obe's, (ooohooo, I'm scared) apparently to track me down for posting a photo of him to prove a point that appropriate relationships are possible without constant monitoring, then I'll take it down.

but, since you were bright enough to re-post my point, you will have to take your down or I'll get Obe to find you!

So what are you trying to say?... that any coach in any situation should be able to pick up any kid and give them a hug?. This picture is clearly just a nice pic of what looks like a dedicated coach and a young climber.. but it looks like this is just ''for the camera''. How fucked up is your country if you think in a ''normal'' situation or professional setting this kind of thing (hugging children etc) should be common place?.

I am very sorry to say this.. but looking at the facts in this case (a man fucking a 14 year old INSIDE a gym?) and many of the attitudes, especially your's.. you guys are so far behind when it comes to child protection. We had this attitude toward it 10 YEARS AGO.

You have the complete wrong mentality ''we should not need to use such procedures because their should not be twisted people in the world''.

Do you know how hard it is for me to follow all the procedures we have? (their are far more than i have stated in this topic). Do you know how hard it is for me to not pick up a child who just fell over and is crying?.. give him/her a little comforting hug?. Especially in that i am a father.. i find it even harder. I ask myself.. why not?.. im not a child molester. But that fact is.. those procedures are in place for those who are. I understand and see that bigger picture. Many times a kid has leaned on me to show some affection like they would with their father or parent.. i have to take a step back. Are procedures do piss me off sometimes, but i understand why they are in place. If a person was looking to abuse their position.. and had plenty opportunity to have physical contact (by means of comforting hugs etc) that means they can far easier build up a relationship with a child where they can then abuse that position. That is what all are procedures are about.. removing opportunity. It comes at a cost, but imo, in the protection of children that cost is not much of a sacrifice.

Understand?.

Also i want to comment on reality's post. You said that you can talk to somebody in private about a situation in their life. Tell me.. to a man wanting to take advantage of a child.. where better than privately behind closed doors and when that child is feeling vulnerable?.
