I am not sure how to feel of this. I get an email today from a friend (?) back at home, who tells me what the sport federation do of my old coach. They had done 'investigation' of him earlier because of what one person had said of him, and at that time, said that there is no proof he is bad man or does these things. So then I told them that I will make charge on him also, they must do more investigation of him.

Now I find out, today, they decide they will fine him money, and have made rule that he can not be alone with anyone under age of 18 years, ever, as coach with them. That if he does that, he will be suspended of his job and they will make report to legal authorities.

I guess it is some success, maybe it will make him think more of what he do and not do it, maybe he will be afraid more of what will be done to him or known about him. I know that I am not ready to make this matter public for legal things to be done of him. But, I do not know, I feel I have let down others, and maybe this is not enough punishment of him. But I do not know what else I can do right now, what I am capable of emotionally.

I do not know if I can think of this as sucess or not.

Lee,

Yes, yes, and YES!

This is success!

I am proud of you. It may never seem enough, but he knows he cannot act in the dark anymore.

You have saved lives, whether you believe it or not.

I am so proud of you!

Hey buddy, this is some success, at leat he hopefully will no longer be able to harm anyone else. I know that you are not ready to go public, but for the moment it is enough, and when you are ready, more can be done. I am proud of you for even telling the federation about it. You are such a brave and strong person, and I truly look up to you, always.

Leo dont think for one minute that this is not a sucess. It is my brother and by speaking up you have gained control for yourself and that is a truly remarkable thing to do.

You have a lot of courage my brother
 
Leo,
It took great courage to tell them your story. Your a very brave brother. Yes it is a success!!!!!!!!!!! He can longer be alone with a child again. Because of you and this other person the next child is safe. Good job my brother.

Leosha,

This is very much a success! Children who have never met him don't know how much they owe to you. Thank you so much for that. I hope you feel proud of what you did. I feel proud knowing that you did it.

Thanks,

Joe

that is a terrific success, and it's down to the bravery of you and the other guy.

There's a good chance now that he's been punished other people will also say "He abused me as well"

What you've done is lead the way.

Thanks Leosha, for the courage to break the silence and make other skaters safe. They will nev er know that they were not harmed because of you and your friend.

The coach knows he is on very thin ice now. Maybe he will seek some help for his problem. But at least, he won't be able to harm young guys without the danger of being ruined as a coach. You have done well.

Leosha,

Something is better then nothing my brother. At least with some people know they might be able to protect future children. You have saved future children you should be happy for them. As far as punishment I think the only correct punishment for them is death. They took away your life and they should loss their life. Sadly punishment for abusers has always been lacking. At least something was done about him Leosha, be thankful for that.

lots of love, Nathan
 
Leosha,

:D Yes it is a success. :D

You can stand proud tonight. We are proud of you, I am proud of you, you have done a brave and unselfish deed by standing up against the injustices that your old coach has done and protected a countless number of children from a fate such as ours.

You have such strength, I wish you would see that. I see your strength and determination in so many of your posts and actions.

yahoooooo,

Leosha,
THANK YOU....THANK YOU.....THANK YOU...... I am proud of you. I have read several of your post. I know it took alot of courage to respond and trust others that something would be done. YOU MADE AND DIFFERENCE IN SOMEONES LIFE TODAY.
 
thank you all, I feel much better of this being real 'success' now that I think of it more. It feels good to have done something. Next will be to make legal issue of it. It will happen, when I am ready. Thank you,
