Time for our champions and administrators to stand up for the rights of young athletes and their safety. Talent deserves to be realised and protected #stoptheshameofsexualabuseinsport @SwimmingAUS

#9News can reveal the brother of the late disgraced former swimming coach Dick Caine is facing his own, unrelated, child abuse charges. @TiffGenders

#BREAKING: Serial rapist & disgraced former swim coach Dick #Caine has died in hospital this morning, a month after a court found he sexually abused six of his students in the 70s & 80s. smh.com.au/national/nsw/p…

It is the culture of denial that allowed child sexual abuse to take place.

Just a quick update: Mark Coure has taken down the tribute to Dick Caine from his website. However, the Internet Archive captured a timestamped version of that page. You can check it out at the link below.web.archive.org/web/2024082902… Mark's trying to cover up his deceptive behavior.

Liberal leaders: Shame on Mark Coure for endorsing Rory Amon & honoring convicted pedophile Dick Caine. He must go! It seems that Mark is part of a deep state placing degenerates in powerful positions. Let’s get rid of Mark Coure he must go.

Mark Coure endorsed Rory Amon, now facing child abuse charges, and praised convicted paedophile Dick Caine while blocking Andy Yin’s candidacy. His judgment is dangerously flawed. #AusPol #NSWPolitics #JusticeForAll #ChildProtection #HumanRights #PoliticalScandal #EndAbuse

The 76-year-old, who trained elite athletes for decades, is accused of abusing students more than 40 years ago. #9News 9news.com.au/national/dick-…


How different my life would have been if #TerryBuck #JohnCarew and all of those swimming coaches who knew #IanBruceLumsden was raping me when I was 10. They all knew and did nothing. This BS inquiry by #AustralianSwinming is a joke!! Australian Swimming coaches destroyed my life!


Men speaking out! So pleased the fellas are starting to stand up and add their voices to the groundswell of awareness happening in Australia. Pedophiles & their complicit enablers create the greatest damage and heartache in our society. #wakeup #speakup abc.net.au/news/2021-11-2…


Irony..why does the community get whisked into a frenzy when child rapists and abducters are apprehended yet they remain inactive in complicit silence when they are aware of children being raped and abused closer to home? Every child needs protection! #speakupforchildren


An interesting read. When will people realise that the impacts of athlete abuse stays with them for life? We need to change the landscape. Responsible adults need to stand up make this happen! #stopthecomplicity #dobinapedoswimcoach #swimmingaustralia drjacksinger.com/the-long-term-…


How true is this? Convicted pedophile #IanLumsden was recently writing on LinkedIn about psychological safety in the workplace and how he 'helps' people until we spotted him & advised the companies he worked for about his truth. The CEO's removed him immediately. Impressed.👏👏

I love what @ShelKenn says in this interview re: the importance of the bystander. Those who say + do nothing are complicit in allowing abuse to continue. Silence after reporting causes so much further harm + trauma. We need support, speaking up + solidarity to become the norm.

“Thank you for your voice. You will never know how many people you’re going to help by allowing your face and your name to be in the public eye.” @ShelKenn spoke with @SNCaroline about how difficult it was to speak up about sexual abuse & thanks Kyle Beach for sharing his story.

The tragedy of 'lives lost before death' is a reality of the lifelong burden carried on the shoulders of #CSA survivors. Our legal system needs to acknowledge the impacts of crimes perpetrated by pedophiles & that it DOES NOT STOP on the day of sentencing/ acquittal of the crime!
