Dating back to September, when the missing money was initially discovered, these months of tough times were boldly highlighted by the mother of one cheer member. Preferring to remain anonymous, she narrated how every participant had to spend around $2000 for the uniform, a gruesome amount for most families. She also recalled asking why she had to pay $1850, only to gain rebukes from the accused coach.

Apparently, the cheerleading mom’s confusion was shamed by volunteer instructor Brooks-Hill, who berated her instead, saying she was careless about her child’s ambitions. After the coach was held under theft charges on Monday, the concerned mother voiced her intake, echoing the experience of all families involved. While remarking, “I think everybody paid the price for it”, she further added, “Because where one child lacked, another parent had to pick up for it.”
