Podcast episode about the truth behind Safe @ Allstar
About 2 months ago (in this newsletter) we talked about a new podcast series called “Cheer Incorporated“ — here’s the explanation of the podcast:
"In the first season of 'Cheer Incorporated', our news team will take everything we've learned in the aftermath of Scott Foster's suicide to explore not only the allegations against Rockstar Cheer, but the epidemic of sexual abuse within the cheerleading industry.
We will follow the rapidly expanding lawsuits and criminal investigations, letting our listeners hear how those entrusted with protecting our children and putting their safety and best interest first, instead used them for sexual gratification - and then covered it up to keep the profits flowing.”
In the latest episode, they dive into who’s actually behind the “Safe @ Allstar” training and certifications…
Here’s how the episode is described on their website & in the episode’s description:
“In this episode we delve into who the USASF hired to "minimize the risk of child sexual abuse and misconduct."
“In addition to exploring the latest federal lawsuit filed in connection with this case, this week’s episode dug deeper into the so-called “gold standard” of child athlete safety protocols erected around the All-Star cheer industry. Specifically, it exposed how loopholes within those protocols turned these supposedly robust protections into invitations for systemic abuse.”
