Re: Am I Over Reacting as a Parent?
Thanks for everyone's advice. I've printed out the forms from Sno's links and I'll be speaking with a bishopric counselor next Sunday (already set that up) and will most likely also meet with someone from the Stake YM (have not set that up yet). My purpose will not to be angry or to get anyone in trouble, but to bring awareness so that the future activities will be safe.
I mean if something bad had happened I could probably sue since they were not following any of their procedures. But that is not my intent.

Re: Am I Over Reacting as a Parent?
I'm remembering the paintball wars we had while I was in the YM presidency. I didn't think twice about it because that's just what we did in my wards growing up. Our ward had a box of slingshots and paintball guns in the cupboard. Talk about an invitation to sue. And nobody ever said a word to me about it in training.byufan4ever wrote: ↑Thu Oct 04, 2018 8:41 am I mean if something bad had happened I could probably sue since they were not following any of their procedures.

If ye love the tranquility of servitude better than the contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

The big difference that these leaders need to understand is that the Church and/or BSA insurance coverages won't extend to leaders who ignore or fail to obtain required trainings.
You're an additional insured to the extent you get trained and follow your training. To not get trained (or to train, if that's your responsibility) is to put your neck much farther out than it needs to be.
