Lawsuit Alleges Children At YMCA Abused With Pickling Salt

Wow, such a hateful person you are. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Judgement day is coming and if you have not accepted the Lord as your Savior than you can spew hatred with the Devil in Hell.

I dont see how what certain individuals did at this facility has to do with all Christians??? You're just being ignorant and you need more education on religion.

Stop trying to spread your agenda to dirty Christianity by judging human faults - and the YMCA had stopped being a Christian organization a long time ago. They are very neutral and their employees are not mandated to be Christian neither are they even able to talk religion, it's very much a liberal, neutral organization. The one I have my kids in is run by people who love children, and the workers are very caring, in NH, but this has nothing to do with being Christian, this is a case of child abuse, plain and simple, and the people responsible should be tried and punished.

Wow guys. Way to totally get off topic. Why in the comment section of every article is someone fighting over religion when it has absolutely nothing to do with the story at hand?

Honestly people..

And to say that the YMCA has nothing to do with Christianity is like saying that the FCC has nothing to do with communication. It is in the acronym, idiot.

What a bigot you are. My family have been members of a YMCA for decades. I raised my kids during those years having them use the YMCA for all sorts of things from sports teams to lessons of all sorts.
They loved ever minute and I was there, for every lesson and game.

The Y has workers from every ethnic group, race and religion as is its membership. There are no 'christian religious indoctrination or classes' of any kind.

My children were also in the boys and girls scouts... and I will say the same for them.. every religion, race, ethnic group, language and color on the part of scout leaders and members. My children had a wonderful time in the scouts.

Folks, you can save your breath. You can't argue with people like this. After all, they know it all, they're the most intelligent, well educated, well informed, all knowing individuals that have ever existed in this universe and none of us know anything. Don't worry about this loud-mouthed hypocrit, he'll find out one day. I'd love for him to talk to my mother. She's been to the afterlife and come back. Yes, she had that out of body experience and she could tell you a thing or two. For those of you who ever wondered, it's there. There IS life after death. In fact, we had a mess with her for several years. She was so angry about being brought back and not being allowed to stay there it was shocking. She finally came to understand there was a reason for it to happen this way. Even though I have been in the church from the day I was born I too like any normal human being always wondered and questioned a little bit, but now I know. And if this sad sack likes to think he's not going to have to face God one day, then let him. It's not like he lives in a country where he's suppressed and can't go to a church. It's not like he's in a land where people shoot you or brutalize you for being a Christian or any religion for that matter. He had his chances. The thing I always find hysterical is people like this one, the minute they are facing death or some disaster in their life, the first thing out of their mouth usually is dear God help me. What do you think God does with people like this who spend their entire life cursing his existence? I wouldn't want to be in their shoes either at the time of disaster OR at the time of judgement. I do have one question for them however. Do you HONESTLY, TRULY, believe the actions of this staff have ANYTHING to do with their religioius beliefs? Or were they just being STUPID? and ANGRY? and a HORRIBLE choice as an employee for a child care provider? You just want to use this opportunity to spout some of your venom and think it has anything to do with the subject when you know darn well it doesn't. You know, the world gets tired of people like you and if you think they seriously listen to the dribble you spout, you're sadly mistaken. To be honest, I'm sitting here laughing at you and the sad sorry life you must lead. I had tenants next door to me for about 2 years one time that were atheists. They were a sad, miserable, unhappy, grumpy family who really didn't have many friends. I always felt very sorry for them. I wouldn't trade my life for theirs for all the money in the world. I imagine you're just like them. What a sad life you must leave. So you go on with your beliefs and I think I'll take mine. Want to take odds who will end up the happiest in the end?

It is about God and religion. The YMCA's focus should be 100% helping people, not hiring employees who poison children in their care. What kind of well-run religious establishment is this when kids are being poisoned?

Basketpam, that wasn't your mother... it was Buffy the vampire slayer.

iI AGREE WITH YOU 100%, COULD,NT HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF! ALL OF THAT CHRISTIANITY IS A CROC OF @#$%!

Mary, I agree with you, that is why I am doing the same with our almost-5-yr-old daughter!

they've been doing great things for children for many years? You mean like poisoning them with alum powder? or the many hundreds of child-abuse lawsuits against the YMCA all over the USA and internationally? or how about the many child molestation lawsuits against the YMCA? adults molest and abuse children all over these centers, and they are put back to work in most cases and parents are NOT told. Yeah, real loving, that's very good work for children: bringing the abusers RIGHT TO THE KIDS! I wish i could post a link but it wont let me, i have 3 right here about children being hurt by YMCA people at YMCA centers, throughout the decades. Don't be so blind, Corky.

And I in turn feel sorry for you! In fact you are going to court, you will be judged by God unless you have repented your sins and asked Jesus into your lives! Your day in court is coming!

Well said! There are large numbers of Christian scientists in every field and yes some Christians (like myself) know evolution exists. yougod's opinions are also suggesting that Christians prevent the world of science from advancing. I think it is mighty ignorant to think that a religion can keep science from advancing. Why don't you try asking the oil companies why our diesel engines could originally run on peanut oil but can't now (and on that note why the inventor "mysteriously" died) and why the first electric cars were bought by these companies and destroyed or why diesel is so much cheaper to refine and produce but costs twice as much! Try looking at the FDA and ask, why are all the SSRI class of drugs shown not to have more than a placebo effect in the majority of studies but the only studies you've published are the few that show they do. Try looking at corporations for the inhibition of advancement in science rather than a religion where most would rather mind their own business.
