the clincher

The latest pathetic excuse for NOT providing a roster takes the cake!! There previously WAS some hope that it could ALL be a misunderstanding, or something like that that, on MDAC's part. This latest child predator excuse makes NO sense and is seen as a last desperate attempt to prevent the resolution of these issues. First, would a child predator only ask for the six or so (of the 100 swimmers at MDAC)? Second, would they do it openly, and repeatedly, in a public forum? Thirdly, it has already been stated that the kids are not needed to verify their participation or not- their PARENTS would be the ones to do that! Are you also concerned about PARENT ABUSE? Ridiculous. Absurd. Preposterous. It seems to be last gasp effort to excuse and divert attention away from NOT providing the simple information requested! Honest people would NOT resist like this, because they would have nothing to hide. Dishonest people will continue to hide behind whatever ridiculous explanations they can dream up. This is unfortunate because there are surely many hardworking, honest and dedicated parents associated with MDAC, as there are in most swim clubs. This must be very sad for them.

MDAC roster issues addressed

While MDAC is NOT compelled to reveal a roster of the Springs kids involved on their team, yet, you might think that, in the interests of being a good neighbor and maintaining good working relationships with the taxpaying residents of Miami Springs, they might just volunteer to provide the list. Volunteering would also go a long way toward clearing up this situation and resolving the now highly questionable and suspicious situation. A list of the kids names are NOT necessary, of course, as it is the PARENTS of these kids that would have to verify their attendance and participation in MDAC anyway, thus addressing and defusing the "Child Predator" defense (which was unbelievable and preposterous in the first place). To allow for seasonality only the parents names of the Springs kids are requested for the past 2-3 years, along with their contact information. A verifiable list of names is necessary because a list of names is NOT always accurate, as you know. So what do you say, MDAC? It is the right and honorable thing to do, no?
