RFK Child Protection Plan Keeping Our Kids Safe In 2013 Glenn Garvin (VP Camp, Clubs and Mentors) and Jeff Juhala VP Training) attended an 8 hour seminar entitled Child Protection Plan lead by Kanakuk Kamps from MO. This seminar outlined their tragedy of the cases against their organization after catching two different offenders in their program. They have significantly enhanced their program to keep kids safe and are now teaching all that they have learned to others. We strongly suggest that every camp and club leader attend the 8 hour version to learn all that they can about this important subject. http://kanakukchildprotection.org/ I had the pleasure of meeting with Erin Runion the mother of Samantha Runion who was abducted, raped and murdered in 2002 from in front of her Stanton Home..

Why so many victims? Bystander Silence – Jerry Sandusky In 2000, Jim Calhoun was a Janitor at Penn State and told Ronald Petrosky, a fellow Janitor, that he had just witnessed Jerry Sandusky sexually molesting a boy. Ronald asked Jim if he wanted to “call somebody.” He didn’t. Ronald testified, “He was afraid I guess.” Witnessed in 2000 – Jerry Sandusky arrested Nov. 2011 Why so many victims?
