A sensible question. I would not knowingly send my ds to classes run by a known paedophile. As a sensible parent I attempt to protect my child by checking up as much as is possible. I would however have allowed her to join a school under WIDA, and take part in the competitions as I would be there to keep an eye on her. I would be very grateful to anyone who made a point of warning me about SG. That was my original point. I don't want anyone to stop warning people about him whenever WIDA gets a mention. In fact if it happens enough the rest might drive him out sooner. That is different to removing posts whenever they appear. That way no-one would warn others and some might join without being aware. -- For the love of the dance

In reply to: :-( 's message, "I also disagree with you Irishdaz but as you don't seem to change your mind the only thing to do is to advise people wherever this topic pops up to google the name and draw conclusions for themselves. I doubt they would share your view, I'd say they would RUN. I wonder, would you send your dd to his classes or comps when she was younger, or is it just theorizing on your part?" on Fri, Sep 21 2007, 12:49:14

[> [> [> "I don't want anyone to stop warning people about him whenever WIDA gets a mention." But how do we warn people re: the ads on your website? A website ad is different from a board ad in that it cannot be commented. -- ?, Fri, Sep 21 2007, 20:36:38 [1]

[> [> [> well IrishDaz if you won't remove the advertisement why dont you make a start and put a warning on the WIDA advert on your site explaining who the president is, that way you are helping by letting people know who runs the show, as you have said people already involved with WIDA know his background so this wouldnt do any harm to them would it?? -- parent, Fri, Sep 21 2007, 21:42:36 [1]

[> [> [> [> A really sensible solution to this situation, and one that I have already applied. That is probably even better than hoping that someone spots every time WIDA appears on voy, dance net etc. There is now a permanent warning about Sean Gavan, that will soon appear on the Google listings whenever WIDA are searched -- Irishdaz, Sat, Sep 22 2007, 11:29:40 [1]
