Before posting here, please read this sticky and keep guideline 23 in mind:

23. No posts harshly dissecting parenting moments of others since we desire to humbly cultivate a heart attitude of grace and not judgment towards other mamas. We all struggle at times as parents and have much to learn, and GCM's focus is to provide tools and information for each of us to parent more effectively. Posts voicing some frustration regarding choices made by others can be okay, but it needs to be within the overall context of seeking understanding or ideas for better responses in the future.

Sigh of relief.

I hadn't heard the allegations about not reporting abuse. That's very concerning as well.

I knew there was an investigation going on, but had not heard that he resigned. What wonderful news.

Now if only the "new" guys would really look at what is being taught and make a lot of changes to it.

So sad to think of the victims.

This, from the very end of the article linked above, is more good news!

Great news! It's a good start but I hope that ATI eventually dismantles. I've seen so much bad come from that organization and I think that will continue even without Bill.
