Yeah… and they made all these rules because kids were getting molested left and right by the scouts.
There’s no reason to watch kids going to the bathroom, flushing or washing their hands.

Just ask them when they get out if they washed their hands…
There might be occasion where an adult may have to help a child. Hell I nearly panicked once because I was alone and couldn’t get out of a damned wetsuit. I had to somehow jam the back of it on my bed frame to pull it off. Now a bathing suit isn’t the same. But I could see a girl getting her suit ties into a knot and needing it undone. It’s happened to me. Again, two adult supervision would solve any accusations. But apparently the Y doesn’t have that rule. So it’s whatever. But Grandma assumed a lot here. People assume I’m a male when they talk to me on the phone. But I’m not.

If they need help , they must be under like five years old.


How old are these girls in the article?
I don’t know. But you’ve never needed help as an adult putting on a necklace? Or said to your SO hey I got a knot in my bathing suit tie can you help me get it out? It really doesn’t bother me the kid needed help. She did for whatever reason so the teacher took care of it. In full view of others since Grandma saw it. Who else was going to? And what if the teacher herself needed the bathroom? Was she to wait outside and leave children unattended? What does bother me? The language Grandma used. Look it’s fine to worry about what’s going on. And all she had to do was go to the front desk and say excuse me but I think there’s a man in the girls bathroom. Can you make sure everything is on the up and up? I think you agree with that part. But it’s not right to accuse someone of molesting children without proof. And that’s what this woman did. It also wasn’t the first time. Play stupid games Won stupid prizes.

No, I’ve never needed help getting dressed or undressed.

The grandma was crazy too, but I still think it’s weird for an adult to be overseeing bathroom time unless they are extremely young children.


Plus, it’s not just that the person was in there she was naked too…

There were gaps in the curtain and there I was, naked, with soap and water on me, and this guy, right there very close to me. I asked, ‘Do you have a penis?’ He said, ‘That’s none of your business.’ That’s when I told him, ‘Get out of here, right now,'"


And she says she didn’t say what she was accused of saying.

It’s very much normal to have a counselor or teacher go in with the kids. It isn’t creepy, they aren’t going into the stalls with the kids and watching them, they just stand in the locker room to supervise. The staff are in charge of the safety of the kids while they are in their care. They are can’t leave them unattended with a bunch of strangers. They just stand in there to make sure that the kids are behaving and that no one is giving them any problems.
BobCobbMagob wrote: Mon Aug 08, 2022 8:50 am No… I haven’t. That’s creepy and a red flag unless these are like toddlers. I have three kids that have done plenty of classes At gyms, ymcas, sports ect. And no one has ever followed them inside of the bathrooms when they’re going. Not me as a parent, not any of the coaches or instructors, no one.

I’m replying to the post itself.

“overseeing a group of young girls during their bathroom time”

You've never taken a group of kids to the bathroom and stood on the outside of the stalls and made sure everyone got to use the bathroom and wash their hands? We can assume that this person was the swim instructor for a class and was probably responsible for them during class time. So it's not unusual for her to stand in the locker room and make sure everyone is good to go.

You do you, but I’d be adamant that there does not need to be anyone helping my child go to the bathroom.

Sure and Clinton said “I didn’t have S*x with that woman.” We all know he did. It’s also not her business what anyone has. If some old lady questioned me I’d say it’s not her business either. She’s not the police and to assume someone isn’t a certain gender based on voice is insulting. That being said I believe in cub scouts leaders can’t assist scouts in the bathroom. Parents do that they must accompany their children on outings . Older scouts don’t need help but two leaders can use a bathroom with them. Idk about other camps but apparently the Y allows a teacher with the children. I suppose one would take that up with the organization.

So she’s probably lying? Maybe she’s not. This whole thing sounds weird and the YMCA is looking sketchy.

She’s an 80 year old woman who was naked at the time, and didn’t want a man to see her naked. If that’s not her business to worry about, what is?

It’s just time for communal showers to be a thing of the past.

They aren’t helping them go to the bathroom. They are just standing in the locker room. They can’t just leave a group of children they are responsible for unattended in a public place. You have every right to choose where you want to send your kids, but they aren’t acting like creeps.

You don’t just walk up to someone who sounds masculine, barge in, and accuse them of having a penis that’s what. Besides who wants to see her naked? I assume no one wants to see ME naked and I’m thirty years younger. 🤣 Others have said camps let counselors take children to the bathroom. I’m not sure what my boy’s summer camps did. The issue never came up. I just know what scouts do and that’s based on their previous problems. Usually scouts take a buddy to the bathroom. Leaders can go too in pairs or more. “Shrug”
The showers sounded like they were sectioned off by curtains. Not my idea of communal but whatever.

She went over to the staff member who was not in the showers. The staff member was not trying to see her naked. She could have just stayed in her shower stall away from the staff member and minded her own business. The staff member is not a man.
