Do you think if a club has an issue of a coach having inappropriate relations with a child it...

No they are not mandated reporters, yes they are liable for criminal endangerment of a child as well as negligence. Haven’t found any police records yet but who knows how long an investigation would go.

Time for a law change. All nonprofits that work with children should be mandatory reporters.

It's true. That being said the liability is so high that they would have to be even more idiotic than they are demonstrating they are to not report anything that had been going on.

Sandshark, has Albion responded yet? Have they informed the parents? You have been kind of quiet.

I have not heard anything about if they have notified any of the past or present families? I know being everyone he coached is playing HS soccer so maybe that will be their (Albions) excuse on why they did not send out a warning for all involved to talk with their children about this? I would bet Albion will sweep this under the turf if they can, they don't dare expose themselves to any wrong doings? As far as I am concerned they are already guilty by not dealing with this issue right after they fired him. A warning to the other team mates and to all that came in touch with this guy over the past 5-6 years of employment at Albion Sc would be the correct and responsible thing to do! His name is Tony Scheri and was in charge of the girls college placement program. He was texting a girl on one of his teams very late at night about some very inappropriate stuff, the young lady showed the text to her parents and then to the club, they acted on the spot by having Tony fly home from Texas to fire him. I'm going to say if they saw fit to fire him they should also see fit to make sure he has not abused others over the years. Because from what I was told he was FIRED not put on a suspension until they investigated this. I talked to a Mom from his team last week that is contacting the San Diego DA's office and several local news stations to make sure this coach is exposed along with Albion Sc and its employees.

I am in no way discounting any of the damage done but he should be put away for stupidity. You have to be completely oblivious to life and some kind of stupid to think that doing something like that will not be found out. I just don't get it, how can it not be so obvious?

They are already at such an age at that point that bringing the topic up with parents at all is mortifying let alone in regards to someone they were supposed to trust. Good on the girl for knowing something was wrong and being brave enough to come forward.

So let's assume Albion had some information that something illegal took place. Instead of investigating, they fired him and kept their blinders on and fingers in their ears. Now he is potentially in the hunt for another opportunity to victimize. Is Albion libel for not reporting this? Note I am making the assumption that they did not report whatever they knew to authorities. I know that schools for example must report possible child abuse. Is there a similar requirement for soccer clubs?

This person is now at San Diego United.

Yes. Pretty easy to figure out if you go to their site.

There is no way he is coaching at SD United. That must be an old link you searched as he coached there before he went to Albion. I would venture to say he will not be coaching in SD any longer. Anywhere??

How many times have we seen this? Some coach or teacher molests kids over the course of many years. He moves everytime someone raises a red flag. At place after place, no one in a position of leadership wants to deal with the issue. They pass the buck to avoid bad publicity for their organization. Who’s looking out for the kids?

This guy will pop up somewhere else.
 
Anyone know what happened with the Ebert “kid” that was coaching at Strikers a few years ago? Is he coaching anywhere these days?

Will you please provide a current link? He had been at United prior to Albion but I cannot believe any club in San Diego would touch him until the facts are known one way or another.

You're right. I checked that link I saw and it had no mention of him coaching at Albion. Maybe it was just cached or they didn't update their website.

It’s definitely an old link. If you google his name the first link to show up is an OLD profile from when he previoussly coached at United prior to coaching at Albion. He hasn’t been at SD United for years and if you check their current website he is nowhere to be found.

Well that's good to know!

Actually that is bad news. Now the parents of those kids will have to hunt him down to teach him a lesson.

Very true. Funny thing. Someone posted above that Albion did not communicate this to some of the kids in HS. When we were on our way to a HS tournament, we were talking about it in the car and one of the girls on our team was shocked to hear that he was fired. I don't know if their team knows now but I thought that it was weird she didn't know it and that was her coach.
I just happened to know what was going on in the club.
 
Have there been other clubs in the southwest region that have recently fired coaches for alleged predatory behavior?
