I am both sickened and saddened to hear of this. I also grew up in the 80's with the Perry brothers as coaches for pop warner football and Jack's league basketball for several years. I to looked up to these men and thought the world of them. However, even though I was one of the lucky ones who never experienced this with them I still feel violated knowing now that this was happening to my friends around me. I hope and pray for my friends, as I probably know you all as you know me that justice will be swift so that the healing may begin for you all. I am truly sorry that any of you had to endure such a horrible thing. As a father of two young boys, it only solidifies my already unwavering lack of trust for individuals that are around my boys. I'll let it be known here and now in this public forum....GOD HELP ANYONE WHO LAYS A FINGER ON MY CHILDREN.
