(11,563 posts)About 30 years with the Boys and Girls Club. She worked at every level of the organization (not every job, obviously), from unpaid intern as a college practicum, to Director of a flagship unit in Florida.
She is an incredibly caring person who can be FIERCE in her protection of children, or really anyone that needs it, but especially children. The new realities of this over-sensitive, over confrontational attitudes that have risen made her sad, in many ways.
She had to tell employees that, no matter WHAT, you never put your hands on a child, except to protect iife and limb. No comforting, no "Congratulations!" Never, not at all, no matter how pure the motives or innocuous the circumstances.
The consequence was immediate termination, no appeal, no second chance.
