AN AMENDMENT IS PROPOSED TO CURRENT STATE AND FEDERAL CHILD PROTECTION PUBLIC LAWS FOR THE ENACTMENT OF A COACHING LISCENSE FOR COACHES OF CHILDREN WHO PARTICIPATE IN SRE. (posted first, December 9, 2011 by admin)
INTRODUCTION
The State Government oversees how you treat and raise your Child or Coach and train-up other Children. The ?Parens Patriae? Doctrine (government is ?Parent of the Nation?) Grants Power to State to protect Children ( .
The Tripartite Legal Relationship is the Coach-Caretaker + Child-Athlete + State:
Coach-Caretaker. The Coach can coach Children, Providing Coach-Caretaker complies with Special Standards of Child Care: Federal: Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act 2010 Public Law 111-320. Mandated to 50 States.
Government is the first in the line of responsibility for Child Safety and should Teach Child Protection Law to keep Children Safe and Coaches out of Legal trouble.
?No Sport is a Kingdom unto its own?. ?No one is above the Law.? former Secretary of State, Condeleezza Rice. [42.]
CHILD PROTECTION LAWS:
1. Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act, the first enacted Child Protection Law in 1974. CAPTA has been amended several times. The most recent amendments were in 2003 and 2010
2. Keeping Children and Families Safe Act of 2003. Public Law 108-36.
3. Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) Reauthorization Act of 2010, Public Law 111-320,
? ?Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (1974) as Amended by Public Law. 111-320, the CAPTA Reauthorization Act of 2010 contains Section 206. entitled PERFORMANCE MEASURES. [42 U.S.C. 5116f].
Under Performance Measures, states receiving a grant under this title
? 1. Shall demonstrate effective development, operation, and expansion of a community-based and prevention-focused programs and activities designed to strengthen and support families to prevent child abuse and neglect that MEETS THE REQUIREMENT OF THIS FEDERAL TITLE.
? 7. shall describe the outcomes under the State program to demonstrate the effectiveness in meeting the purposes of the program;?
In other words when states accept Federal Grant Money for Child Abuses Prevention, and are mandated the states SHALL follow Federal Guidelines.
? State Child Protection Laws exist in all 50 states. All states accept Federal Grant Money for Child Abuses Prevention.
Thus, State Laws must MEET THE REQUIREMENT OF THIS TITLE, Public Law. 111-320, the CAPTA Reauthorization Act of 2010. For example, Kentucky Child and Youth Protection Law: Kentucky Unified Code KRS 600-645. Juvenile/Family Court has exclusive jurisdiction for Child Abuse.
Anyone who is Responsible for Child Safety, Care, Welfare, Injury and/or Disease Management, even if it is only for the referral to the proper Medical Personnel, particularly when that person(s) has Temporary Substitute Custody and Control of the Child, should be Licensed by the state.
All Professions and Occupations, who care for, teach and mentor susceptible, vulnerable populations, such as patients, school children and Athletes, have a unique Responsibility that accompanies their Power Position.
Coaches, Teachers, Doctors, Athletic Trainers and Nurses are prime examples among many others.
The potential for Accidents, Catastrophic Injuries and Deaths are substantial for Coaches, Para-medical and Medical professionals because of the populations for whom they care and their legal duty to Children and Youth. Close oversight is necessary.
The Coach Jerry Sandusky-Penn State Football Child Athlete Sex Abuse Scandal, resulting from the Grand Jury indictment November, 2012, has raised many questions.
Before retirement, ?Sandusky was regarded as an integral part of Penn State?s football success, which galvanized the most disparate corners of the state and turned the university?s athletics officials into power brokers. Nittany Lions games regularly have capacity crowds in excess of 107,000, and the football program generates more than $70 million in revenue annually, according to Forbes magazine.? [43.]
Immediately, the underbelly of this and other Sports Scandals appears. The enormous popularity of Sports and vast revenue generated are the reasons for some Sport Communities? Dysfunctional Behaviors.
The ?Bottom Line? is persistent and pervasive. Publication in Forbes magazine speaks volumes since the Mission Statement says, Forbes Magazine publishes ?information resources for the world?s business leaders.? Yes. Amateur Sports are about business, not Athletes.
Sports have evolved into ?Business Centered Activities? not ?Child and Youth Centered Sports?. It appears some in the ?Sports Business? have turned a ?Blind Eye? to unlawful Child Abuse Behavior by Powerful Coach Offenders, while protecting their ?Bottom Lines?.
The dark side of the scandal was that ?Sandusky hosted many summer football camps at The Second Mile, a children?s charity he founded in State College, Pennsylvania in 1977.? [20.]
Children who were allegedly Sexually Abused were aspiring Child Football Athletes, underage minors, who attended Football Summer Camp at the Second Mile.
And, Dec. 8, 2011 Former Syracuse University assistant men?s basketball coach Bernie Fine was sued by a man alleging he was sexually abused as a 13-year-old in a Pittsburgh hotel room. [47.]
Again, Dec 10, 2011 Memphis police opened an investigation into sexual abuse allegations against AAU, Amateur Athletic Union, President Bobby Dodd that date to the 1980s.
The AAU, one of the biggest U.S. nonprofit volunteer sports organizations, develops amateur sports and physical fitness programs for athletes of all ages, was founded in 1888. [48.]
The above are allegations and have not been tried in the court of Law.
To begin the discussion about The Proposed Child Athlete Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act Amendment, Questions are raised from the following statements of fact:
? ?There are No federal laws that require Coaching Education or Certification.?
? ? Only 4% of States require a Coaching License?
? ?Only 24% require state certification.? [32.]
The Etymology of ?Parens Patriae? is from Latin meaning ?Parent of the Nation?. This doctrine grants the inherent power and authority of the state to protect minor Children age less than 18 and other persons who are legally unable to protect themselves.
The ?Parens Patriae? doctrine is a Special Standard of Care for Children.
In the United States, the ?Parens Patriae? doctrine is most often applied to the treatment of children.
The state is the ?Supreme Guardian? of all children within its jurisdiction and state courts have the inherent power to intervene to protect the Best Interests of Children. This inherent power is legalized and Offenders of Children are criminalized by legislative Laws that describe the extent of child protection in a state
The basis for government?s intervention in child physical and psychological maltreatment and endangerment, sexual abuse and Human Rights violations are based in the concept of ?Parens Patriae?.
Legally, ?Parens Patriae? refers to the public policy and power of the state to intervene against an abusive or negligent parent, legal guardian or caretaker, and to act as the caretaker of any child or individual who is in need of protection.
?Parens Patriae? asserts that government has a role in protecting the interests of children and in intervening when parents and other caretakers fail to provide proper Child Care.
While it has long been recognized that parents have a fundamental liberty, protected by the Constitution, to raise their children as they choose, they must do so according to the standards of Law.
If parents, guardians and caretakers are unable, unwilling or fail to protect or properly supervise their Children and fail perform this responsibility, the State in which they reside has the power and authority to take action to protect the child from harm. [46.]
The legal framework regarding the parent-child-state tripartite relationship balances the rights and responsibilities among the parents, the child, and the State, as guided by Federal statutes, The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Reauthorization Act of 2010, Public Law 111-320, first enacted in 1974 and amended several times since then.
This special standard of care applies to children. This parent-child-state relationship identifies certain rights, duties, and obligations, including the responsibility of the parents to protect the child?s safety and wellbeing. [20.]
Parents are not required to secure the legal right, permit or license to make decisions by virtue of their name listed on their child?s birth certificate. The Birth Certificate is essentially the Parents? Child Caretaker License. [20.]
There is a Special Standard of Care for Child and Youth. Every child should expect to be safe and protected when in the care of their Caretaker, who are either:
? Parents
? Legal Custodians or Guardians
? or another Adult who has been entrusted-with
? or another Adult who voluntarily assumed the responsibility for the care of a Child.
? or a Person who stands in a position of trust and confidence for a Child?s Protection, Supervision, Safety and Caretaker.
The same tripartite relationship exists between Coach-Child Athlete-State. The Coach stands in a almighty powerful position for Protection, Supervision, Safety and Caretaker of the Child and Youth Athlete.
Government Licenses are issued by the administrative agencies of local, state, and federal lawmaking bodies. Administrative agencies are established by legislative bodies to regulate specific government activities and concerns. Children?s Protection, Supervision, Safety, Well Being and Child Care are specific Federal and State Government concerns.
Government Licenses are an important and ever-present feature of our contemporary society. Federal, state, and local governments rely on licensing to control a broad range of human activity particularly for potentially dangerous activities and particularly activities in potentially dangerous environments. Sports are a potential example of both dangerous activities and dangerous environments.
There are many professionals and activities that require a license issued by a government authority. Activity examples in Kentucky that require a license (same for most states):
? Health Care Professionals, Medical Doctors, Nurses
? Athletic Trainers
? Attorney Law Practice
? Public Services
? Child Day Care Facility
? Residential Child Caring Facility
? Child-Placing Agency
? Certified Child care Home [44.]
?Most licenses expire after a certain period of time, and most can be renewed. Failure to abide by certain laws and regulations can result in suspension or revocation of a license.?
?The licensing process helps to control activity in a variety of ways. License application procedures allow government authorities to screen applicants to verify that they are fit to engage in the particular activity. Before any license is issued by an agency or State Board, the applicant must meet certain standards.?
?Requiring a license for a certain activity allows the government to closely supervise and control the activity. The agency responsible for issuing the license can control the number of licensees.?
?A license is not a property right, which means that no one has the absolute right to a license. The government may decline to issue a license when it sees fit to do so, provided that the denial does not violate federal or state law. No agency may decline to issue a license on the basis of race, religion, sex, national origin, or ethnic background.?
All Doctors, Nurses, Trainers who are allowed by law to care for the Health and Welfare of Athletes are state licensed. Parents are likewise state licensed for Child Protection and Proper Supervision of their children by Birth Certificates and Guardians by Court Orders.
Anyone who has mandated Child Protection and Proper Supervision Responsibilities, like Extracurricular Coaches, should be state licensed.
The American Academy of Pediatrics Policy Statement for Child and Youth Sports Participation says that organized Sports can have many positive benefits for Child and Youth Athletes Provided adjustments are made in Sports when Sports, Recreation and Exercise (SRE):
? Provide a greater opportunity to develop rules specifically designed for health and safety of Children and Youth.
? Allow for the establishment of developmentally sound criteria for determining readiness for children and youth to participate in Sports.
? Allow for a fair process and enforcing rules. Rules specifically targeted at younger athletes can reduce injuries. Recommendations have been made to limit dangerous practices
? Safety accommodations associated with organized youth sports include many recommendations for the Sport Environment.
? The availability of Qualified Coaches in organized sports can be a key factor in providing safety and a positive experience
? Because most youth sports coaches are volunteers with little or no formal training in child development, they cannot be expected to correctly match demands of a sport with a child?s readiness to participate.
? Educational programs are available for Youth Sports Coaches, but most coaches do not participate.
? Coaches may try to teach what often cannot be learned and blame resulting failures on shortcomings of athletes
? Pediatricians can further advocate safe sports participation by promoting better education and training of youth sports coaches.
? Standards for coaching competency are available and certification for youth sports coaches should address these competencies. [50.]
? Pediatricians can work with sports administrators and coaches within their community and share relevant information on child development, injury assessment, first aid, and injury prevention. and take an active role in developing safety programs while ensuring that existing safety measures are observed [49.]
Coaching Certification Courses are offered by many schools. The United States Sports Academy, for example, offers Coaching Certification Courses. Certification of Coaches will enhance their qualifications for a State Coaching License.
U.S. High School Athletic Associations (HSAA) oversee 24 %, 11,000,000 of School and Non-School Child Athletes (
That leaves 34,000.000 Child Athletes in Grade School, Middle School, JV Teams, summer leagues, Church leagues, Swimming, Cheerleading Camp etc. that are not administered by HSAAs and don?t have comparable HSAA oversight and Safety laws that have been enacted by the Legislative Branch of State Governments.
Child Athlete Abuse Syndrome (CAAS) Education is seldom educated or mentioned in School and Non-School Sports. Licensure would significantly reduce sexual abuse and other abuse cases such as heat stroke, rhabdomyolysis, overuse injuries, post-traumatic stress disorder etc that are inflicted, caused or created on our Child and Youth Athletes.
The Definition of the Standard of Care for a Child requires that a Child must have:
? Proper Child Custodial Protection
? Proper Child Supervision
? Child Safety
? Child Health and Well Being
? Protection from Abuse and other forms of Violence
? Protection from Neglect. The Definition of Neglect is ?any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caregiver, which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation, or an act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm,? [36.][45.]
SRE are not above the Law. College Football is not a closed society, resistant to outside intervention when Crimes occur. College Football and all SRE are not impervious to the Rules of Law. Even Colleges have minor aged Athletes.
?College Football is not a kingdom unto its own,? said Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice [46.]
THE SPORTS, RECREATION AND EXERCISE (SRE) COACHING ACT.
STATE BOARD OF COACHING LICENSURE. Is to include:
? Coach Certification Education
? High School Education for Coach
? Coach Background Check including Finger Prints
? The Coach Should Have Played The Sport They Coach
? Human Growth and Development Education
COACH
? Crucial Child and Youth Athlete Protection and Safety Responsibility
? Child Protection and Supervision are mandatorily substituted for Parents and Guardians during extracurricular activities
? Authority over Child and Youth Athletes
? Accountability and Obligation to the Athletic Community
? Frame and Devise Athletic Culture for generations
? Enormous Power Gap that exists between Coach and Athlete
? Must be able to Recognize Child and Youth Athlete Emotional, Physical and Injury Conditions
? Serve as Para-Medical Trainers and make examination and treatment decisions when Health Care Providers are not available.
? Prominent, powerful Coaching profession where mistakes are damaging and costly to precious life.
? Certification alone is not sufficient and does not insure oversight by any governing body.
? 50% of Child and Youth Amateur Athletes participate in School Sports and 50% in Non-School Sports
? Non-School Amateur Child and Youth Athlete Sports participation has added Protection and Safety deficiencies
? Rules, Regulations and By-Laws of National and State Amateur School and Non-School leagues, federations and associations do not include the Rules for Child and Youth Protection Laws that have been enacted into Law.
? National and State Amateur School and Non-School leagues, federations and associations foster ?Closed Sports Societies? that appear to want-to-be impervious to outside interference and the Rules of Law because Child Abuse Laws are not published to the Sport Culture and Athletic Community.
STATE BOARD OF COACHING LICENSURE
The State Coaching License, administered by The State Board of Coaching Licensure, would legally
? Proclaim, enforce and administrate its Licensure Authority
? Promote the Special Standard of Care for Child and Youth Athletes like Care for all other Children and Youth
? Prevent Child Athlete Abuse.
? Ensure that Child and Youth Athlete Care follows the Rules of Law not the Rules of Sport posturing as a Kingdom unto its own.
? Promulgate Child Protection and Supervision Laws
? Responsible for protecting Child and Youth Athletes by ensuring that only qualified Coaches are licensed to Coach in the state
? Initiate appropriate disciplinary action when violations of the Amateur Coaching Act occur.
? Refer any Unlawful Coaching Behaviors and Actions to the Child Protective Services and County Attorney when appropriate.

Have you ever thought that you are probably already doing content?marketing ?offline,? with talks and presentations at conferences or?business fairs? The concept of content marketing is nothing new, but?web 2.0 has created unlimited opportunities to publish and spread?content online with the help of the Internet and social media?networks. If you understand the similarities and differences between?content marketing ?on? and ?off?-line, your online marketing strategy?will become much (easier and) more effective.
Even though the stories and content in online and offline content?marketing often are the same, the methods and the format by which the?content is presented can differ quite strongly; the achieved results?will, accordingly, be diverse. Online content ? such as videos,?articles, comments, graphics ? has the chance of staying visible for a?much longer period of time than offline content. In fact, it can be?fairly difficult to remove content from online media once it has?gained a certain visibility. (This should be kept in mind when?publishing sensitive content.)
The goals in online and offline content marketing are closely?connected: build a reputation as an expert and connect to people who?can turn into business partners, collaborators and clients. With?online and offline content marketing, it is important to attract the?handful of people that fit with your business ideology, rather than?wasting time investing on an infinite amount of unrelated people. Let?this consideration be part of the decision in which type of content?you use. Rather create content that is helpful to your target audience?than ?fun? stuff that is spread, but does not inspire relevant people?to return to you for information.
Although speaking for a company throughout social media might induce a?desired amount of anonymity, you should be aware that personality?plays a big role in reputation. Even if the diction and facts in your?content are perfect, when personality is missing you risk someone else?get the job, as most of us would prefer to work with someone we feel?we ?know? and can trust. In offline content marketing, your?personality is usually part of the picture; you personally speak at a?conference and the best business meetings might have result from the?shared coffee after your talk. Within the anonymity of the Internet,?you have to make sure your personality transcends through the screen.?This might especially be a problem if your company expertise builds on?the expertise of multiple employees, or you choose to have social?media activity run by an external social media manager.
