To be clear, I think the dad has the right to watch his daughter play, but I also think the club should notify the parents on the team so that they can take the right precautions. What if you didn't know about this guys past and you let your DD spend the night at their house? What about an all day tournament where this guy is around? I watch my DD like a hawk but it only takes a couple of minutes for something bad to happen.
Legally, I guess the club doesn't have to notify the other parents. But wouldn't that be the right thing to do?
I looked up "moderate level offender" on the Texas Sex Offender website and it says "indicates a moderate danger to the community and may continue to engage in criminal sexual conduct". There has to be a reason why he isn't listed as a "low level" offender.
At their first club, the club didn't actually kick this family out. The parents voted on it and it was the parents decision. The DD has the worst attitude of any 8 year old you will ever see and the dad is the worst sports parent you would ever want to meet, so most organizations wouldn't allow them on their team anyway, even if they didn't know about the dad's past. This guy doesn't know how to sit by himself and enjoy his DD's game, so unfortunately for his DD, it's a package deal. And yes I have seen him "unofficially coaching other peoples kids" at one tournament.
I know in Texas, an offender has to notify the local authorities anytime they move into a new community. Apparently there are no safeguards in youth sports.
We have a family friend that was a nanny when she was younger. The child that she watched was abducted from a soccer field by a sex offender and killed.
