John's close friends were not responsible for how badly their grief was missinterrupted by the survivors. You are saying they have a right to grieve...but not on social media? Everything is done on social media nowadays. It is called freedom of speech. It is very inappropriate to attack them. There is a time and place for everything. As far as safesport is concerned they should have kept investigating and got complete stories from all the victims at this point any contacts or reports which were given to USFS or coaches or rink personnel should be investigated and blame attributed in order to prevent future happenings and to give justice to the survivors. USFS if found they were aware should be responsible for any monetary expenses of therapy and treatment for the victims and the dismissal of any staff still remaining who knew. There could have been 1 victim instead of 10.
I never said theu don't have the "right" to mourn on social media. I said they didn't "have to" mourn on social media. Why not refrain from posting until you have more information? JC was given an interim restriction by SafeSport about one month before his death. They knew that he was being investigated. They knew that SafeSport has exclusive jurisdiction over allegations of sexual misconduct. They knew that there was a very high likelihood that there were survivors of sexual abuse. They chose to post anyway.
Secondly, these members of the skating community (including John's close friends) could have EASILY found out about the nature of the allegations if they wanted to. They could have found out as early as December when they realized he was being investigated by SafeSport. They either chose not to or decided that they didn't believe the survivor.
While I agree that an investigation should be completed, I understand why SafeSport is refusing (policy, resources, etc.). Why can't the USFS hire a third party investigator?
