Survivor Kim details her experience of child sexual abuse at the hands of her former Gymnastics Coach. In this episode we discuss the circumstances surrounding Kim being specifically targeted and groomed by this offender, and the subsequent actions she; as a child made in response to the abuse. Kim also details the tremendous steps she has taken, and continues to take to try and keep the community safe, by keeping this convicted offender from accessing Gymnasiums into the future. She has used her skills as a now trained social worker, and a gymnastics coach to also further the education of coaches, so they are better prepared to identify children who may be in danger around them.
