CLICKONDETROIT.COM SEVEN PEOPLE
CHARGED IN THE FLINT WATER
CRISIS HAVE BEEN HANDED ANOTHER
LEGAL VICTORY TODAY. IN MICHIGAN
JUDGE DISMISSED CHARGES AGAINST
THEM, INCLUDING TWO FORMER STATE
HEALTH OFFICIALS. ATTORNEY
GENERAL DANA NESSEL USED ONE
PERSON GRAND JURY TO BRING THE
CHARGES. BUT THE MICHIGAN
SUPREME COURT RULED THAT WAS
INVALID A FEW MONTHS AGO. SO NOW
THIS JUDGE HAS REJECTED EFFORTS
BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO SEND
THE CASES TO FLINT DISTRICT
COURT. MORE TYPICAL PATH TO
FILING CHARGES. KELLY’S DECISION
DOES NOT AFFECT FORMER GOVERNOR
RICK SNYDER BECAUSE HIS CASE IS
BEING HANDLED BY A DIFFERENT
JUDGE. NOW COMING UP AT SIX.
WE’RE GOING TO DIG DEEPER INTO
THE RULING AND ALSO TAKE A LOOK
AT WHAT COMES NEXT. BIG STORY
HERE. AN INDEPENDENT
INVESTIGATION INTO THE OXFORD

COMMUNITY GUIDE. POST SOLUTIONS

INVESTIGATION. IT’S LOOKING TO
DO MORE PRIVATE IN PERSON

WHO CAN HELP FILL IN THOSE
DETAILS ABOUT THE SHOOTING AS
WELL AS THE WEEKS BEFORE, AND
AFTER FOUR STUDENTS WERE KILLED
LAST NOVEMBER. 30TH SEVEN OTHERS
WERE INJURED, POSTED INFORMATION

INTERVIEWS ON OUR WEBSITE AT
CLICKONDETROIT.COM. IN YOUR
FIRST FORECAST. YOU CAN FEEL
THINGS WHERE IT UP RIGHT, BUT

LASTS. METEOROLOGISTS CAN ADAM’S
TAKING A LOOK AT CURRENT
CONDITIONS? I HAVE TO TELL YOU
CAME UP WITH THE TOP DOWN TODAY
ON DRIVING INTO WORK. IT WAS
GORGEOUS OUT THERE. I WONDERED
IF YOU WOULD YOU KNOW YOU GO
FROM DEBATING WHETHER YOU’RE
GOING TO TURN THE HEAT ON OR
SHOULD I PUT THE TOP DOWN ON THE
CAR? YES IT IS ONE OF THOSE
BEAUTIFUL FALL DAYS. THE LEAVES
THAT STARTED TO CHANGE. BUT
TEMPERATURES ARE STILL WARM. AND
THE LEAVES LOVE THE COOL NIGHTS
AND WARM DAYS, SO WE’RE GOING TO
GET SOME REALLY VIBRANT COLOR.
IT’S POPPED UP TO 77 METRO.
AIRPORT, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE
AREA STAYING IN THE LOW
SEVENTIES. THIS IS QUITE A BIT
WARMER THAN IT WAS YESTERDAY. 14
DEGREES WARMER THAN IT WAS 24
HOURS AGO AT METRO AIRPORT,
SEVEN DEGREES WARMER IN PONTIAC,
MOUNT CLEMENS AND AT CITY
AIRPORT. HOWEVER WHEN YOU HEAD
OUT TONIGHT IF YOU’VE GOT
SPORTING EVENTS THAT KIDS ARE
GOING TO GAMES AND THINGS LIKE
THAT, ONCE THE SUN SETS JUST
AFTER SEVEN O’CLOCK, IT GETS
CHILLY. EVEN THOUGH WE HAD THE
WARM DAYS IT GETS COOL AT NIGHT
COOLING DOWN INTO THE FIFTIES BY
MIDNIGHT, WE’LL TALK ABOUT THE
WARM UP AND COOL DOWN FOR THE
WEEKEND IN THE FORECAST IN JUST
A FEW MINUTES. THANK YOU. KIM
RESCUES AND MORE PEOPLE ARE
GETTING THEIR POWER BACK. THOSE

PROGRESS. INDIANS AFTERMATH TAKE

VIDEO OF RESCUE AND RECOVERY
EFFORTS FROM SOUTHWEST FLORIDA
AS WE SHARE THE MOST UPDATED
INFORMATION INTO OUR NEWSROOM,
NBC CONFIRMING THIS AFTERNOON

THAN 2300 HAVE BEEN RESCUED.
FLORIDA’S BIGGEST UTILITY, SAYS

THAT DATA IS NOT SET IN STONE.
THE HEARING WAS SCHEDULED TO
TAKE PLACE LAST WEEK BUT WAS
POSTPONED. BECAUSE OF HURRICANE
IAN. SO WE WILL KEEP YOU POSTED
AS WE GET MORE INFORMATION ON
THAT. SAD NEWS TO SHARE THIS
AFTERNOON COUNTRY MUSIC FANS
MOURNING THE LOSS OF A LEGEND
LORETTA LYNN COAL MINER’S
DAUGHTER HAS DIED. LYNN WAS BORN
LORETTA WEBB. SHE WAS THE SECOND
OF EIGHT CHILDREN SHE ROSE FROM
THE POVERTY OF A SMALL KENTUCKY
TOWN TO BECOME A QUEEN OF
COUNTRY MUSIC, THEN WROTE LYRICS
ABOUT STRONG WOMEN, CHEATING
HUSBANDS AND EVEN BIRTH CONTROL.
SHE WAS THE FIRST WOMAN TO CLAIM
COUNTRY MUSIC’S BIGGEST PRIZE
ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR. WE
RECALL HER LIFE STORY WAS MADE
INTO THE MOVIE MINER’S DAUGHTER
, HER FAMILY SAYS LIN DIED AT
HER HOME IN TENNESSEE. SHE WAS
90 YEARS OLD. WELL A NEW REPORT
IS REALLY ROCKING THE WORLD OF
WOMEN’S PROFESSIONAL SOCCER AND
THE CONCLUSIONS ARE ALSO SINKING
IN FOR MANY FAMILIES WHOSE
CHILDREN PLAY ALL KINDS OF
SPORTS. THE INDEPENDENT
INVESTIGATION FOUND A PATTERN OF
A RAMPANT ABUSE AND SEXUAL
MISCONDUCT AND ALSO FOUND THAT
OFFICIALS OFTEN FAILED TO
PROTECT PLAYERS, THE REPORT
ALLEGES. THE TAX ENVIRONMENT IS
SYSTEMIC SPANNING MANY TEAMS,
COACHES AND VICTIMS. AND IT SAYS
THE ABUSE IS ROOTED IN A DEEPER
CULTURE STARTING IN YOUTH
LEAGUES, NORMALIZING, VERBALLY
ABUSIVE COACHES, SO WE WONDERED
HOW PARENTS CAN PREPARE THEIR
KIDS TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN SOME TOUGH COACHING AND
ALSO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT
AND ABUSE. AS WE SEND OUR KIDS
OUT TO PLAY, PAULA TUTMAN IS
LIVE WITH SOME ANSWERS TO THIS
VERY IMPORTANT CONVERSATION.
PAULA. YOU KNOW, I THINK I THINK
YOU CAN ARGUE THAT SOMETIMES
THERE ARE OBVIOUS SIGNS OF ABUSE
AND ATHLETICS, AND I’M NOT SURE
YOU CAN ARGUE THAT THERE ARE
ALSO TIMES THOSE OBVIOUS SIGNS
ARE IGNORED. BUT THERE ARE ALSO
SOME SIGNS THAT ARE A LOT MORE
SUBTLE AND THOSE DON’T HAVE TO
BE IGNORED. DRIVE THROUGH THE
HEEL UP. WHAT IS THE TIPPING
POINT FOR SPORTS? IT’S A
QUESTION INCREASINGLY BEING
ASKED AND SCRUTINIZED. THE LONG
CULTURE OF SPORTS FOR MEN AND
WOMEN FROM CHILDREN TO ADULT IS
STEEPED IN OUR CULTURE,
ACCORDING TO TANYA PEN, ISO, A
PERSONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTOR WHO
ALSO WORKS TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC
ON THE SIGNALS AND SIGNS OF
BEHAVIOR. UNBECOMING OF A COACH
COMES FROM THIS CULTURE WHERE
THE INSTITUTIONS CARE MORE ABOUT
THAT PARTICULAR INSTITUTION THAN
THEY DO ABOUT THE CONSTITUENTS
THAT MAKE UP THE INSTITUTION.
OKAY LAST THAT YOU’VE GOT THIS
AND GO FOR 10. OKAY SO LET’S
FOCUS ON CHILDREN IN SPORTS,
TANYA SAYS OFTEN BEHAVIOR THAT
CROSSES THE LINE HAPPENS IN
PLAIN SIGHT. THE INTERESTING
THING IS THAT I THINK WHAT
PARENTS DON’T OFTEN UNDERSTAND
IS THAT A LOT OF THESE THINGS
ARE HAPPENING RIGHT IN FRONT OF
THEM. SO WHEN PEOPLE DON’T SPEAK
OUT IT BECOMES NORMALIZED. IT
BECOMES PART OF THAT SPORT
CULTURE THAT YOU JUST HAVE TO
KIND OF, SUCK IT UP. SHE SAYS.
THE NEED AND DESIRE TO PLAY WHEN
BELONG AND A HOST OF OTHER HUMAN
DESIRES. WHEN IT COMES TO SPORTS
MUST STOP OUTWEIGHING THE HUMAN
TOLL COACH CROSSES THE LINE
RIGHT AT THE END OF THE DAY AND
THE GAME THREE GUY POSTS. DON’T
THINK FOR A MOMENT IT CAN’T
HAPPEN IN YOUR CLUB. THAT’S
NUMBER ONE. I ALSO UNDERSTAND
THE TIPPING POINT NUMBER TWO IF
AN ATHLETE FEELS DEMORALIZED AND
BADLY ABOUT THEMSELVES, AS
OPPOSED TO THEIR PARTICULAR
PERFORMANCE, THAT MAY BE A
SIGNAL THAT A COACH IS CROSSING
THE LINE AND NUMBER THREE IF A
PLAYER IS AFRAID TO RETURN TO
THE GAME BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN
SENSE OF EMOTIONAL OR PHYSICAL
SAFETY, IT IS TIME TO ASK
QUESTIONS. EVERY PRACTICE IS
GOING TO BE TOUGH. AT TIMES.
EVERY PRACTICE IS GOING TO BE
GREAT AT TIMES, BUT THAT
PRACTICE THAT STUFF MAY NOT MAKE
YOU FEEL DEMORALIZED AND AFRAID
TO COME BACK TO THE NEXT
PRACTICE, SO THERE’S A
DIFFERENCE THERE. SO TANYA, OUR
COUNCILS THAT ONE OF THE FIXES
AND THERE ARE MANY FIXES. BUT
ONE OF THE FIXES IS EDUCATION,
IN OTHER WORDS, PARENTS AS WELL
AS ATHLETES NEED TO BE EDUCATED
ON WHAT CONSTITUTES ABUSE OR
UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR. BUT ALSO
THOSE REPORTING MECHANISMS.
THOSE THINGS YOU NEED TO DO TO
REPORT SUSPECTED ABUSE IN YOUR
PARTICULAR CLUB, AND THEN DON’T
BE AFRAID. TO DO IT. KAREN SO
IMPORTANT TO HAVE THOSE
CONVERSATIONS TO WITH YOUR KIDS
IN TERMS OF EXPECTATIONS AND HOW
