The stories of these victims are awful 😞 9WWOS

’s sons and two of his former players described in detail today how they were molested by the team's long-time doctor and how Schembechler turned a blind eye when they told him about the abuse, telling one to “toughen up” and punching his son in anger.

“Dr. Anderson was part of the University of Michigan team,” he continued. "He was part of Bo’s team. Therefore, he was more important than any man. It’s very clear that Bo and the university always put themselves before any student-athlete or son, just to support the brand.” Kwiatkowski, an offensive lineman from 1977-79, said Anderson abused him on four occasions. He said that during his first mandatory physical in his freshman year, Anderson groped his genitals and inserted fingers in his rectum. The former player said he approached Schembechler after one practice and told him about the physical.Matt Schembechler said Anderson abused him during a 1969 physical that he needed to get in order to play youth football.

“It was my understanding Mr. Canham terminated Dr. Anderson, but shortly thereafter, Bo had him reinstated,” Matt Schembechler said.A report commissioned by the university and released last month found that Bo Schembechler and other officials were aware of complaints about Anderson but he was allowed to remain at the school for decades.

Johnson, who broke down at one point, said he had “always been too promiscuous in an effort to prove to myself and to others that I was a man".The university said in a statement on Thursday that it was committed to resolving claims made by Anderson's victims and was continuing confidential mediation ordered by a judge.

“There was nothing that I saw in the times that I was a kid here, my dad was on the staff or when I played here,” Harbaugh told reporters. “He never sat on anything. He never procrastinated on anything. He took care of it before the sun went down. That’s the Bo Schembechler that I know."Bo Schembechler led the Wolverines from 1969-89 and had 194 wins at college football’s winningest school. His career record was 234-65-8, including six seasons at Miami of Ohio.

Domestic abuse more prevalent amongst Anglicans, 'tragic' new research findsA landmark report has found the incidence of domestic abuse is greater amongst Anglicans in Australia than the general population. “perpetrators used Biblical teachings to justify abuse, and that those who attended church regularly were more likely to have been in an abusive relationship”... well, there you go 😒 Bible 1Perer 3.7 If you are a husband, you should be thoughtful of your wife. Treat her with honor, because she isn't as strong as you are, and she shares with you in the gift of life. Then nothing will stand in the way of your prayers.
