Ryan Blazier-A wrestling Coach from Bellwood Antis Junior High- faces 13 felonies and 3 misdemeanors for sexually assaulting/abusing 3 kids under the age a 14. His first victim was a girl who he assaulted for 5 years. She was the age of 3 when he started abusing her. His second and third victims were 13 years of age. They were both offered "special training in the back room of the gym". The small room consisted of no windows and wrestling mats. When one of the custodians were walking by the heard a scream and said to officials, "That was a scream I will never forget." Every time the janitor went back to that room to clean it would be closed and locked. Blazier told the kids he assaulted that he would harm/hurt their parents if they told anyone about what he was doing. When one of the boys spoke to the police he said that Blazier trespassed boundaries with his finger--groin and testicles--and when the boy asked him to stop he didn't. He also told police that he wrestled the kids in "weird ways". Blazier got suspended, keys were taken away, and is no longer supposed to be in a room with a student unless there is another adult present. A hearing on this subject will be held on March 9th.
If you were assaulted in the way these kids were how would you react?
- I would probably be scared and afraid of what would happen if I told someone or went back to school. I would want to be apart of that activity if someone was treating me like that.
If you were aware of what was going on, but you were told not to tell anyone or you or a loved one would get hurt what would you do?
- I would tell someone discreetly. I wouldn't want anyone getting hurt. I feel like it would be something that would need to be done, but not in front of anybody.

If I were assaulted in this type of way then I would definetly go get help because he won't be able to hurt my parents if he is in jail. I would definetly tell people because people like this should not be allowed to do this to people and they shouldn't be able to coach kids.
Well first of all, I too, would be very scared. You hear so much today about sexual assault and what to do if you are put in this terrible situation. I would try to seek help from someone I trusted deeply. I would then attempt to take legal action against the person who assaulted me. As far as if I would tell someone, I kind of disagree with you. I do think that I would try to tell someone discreetly but I wouldn't mind what happened to the person that committed the vile act. Personally I would want them to experience some of the pain mentally that they gave to me both mentally and physically. All in all, this is just an awful situation.
An assault of this sort, at this age can cause many hardships throughout the rest of their life. If I were in this situation I would get help as soon as I could. I would also request counselling to make sure I'm ok. I would tell the chances of them hurting someone I love is low and they are already hurting them by hurting me.
I would have been extremly traumatized by what was done. I would have gone to the police, even if the coach said he would hurt my parents. If I knew of something like this going on I would have gone straight to the police as this is extremly illegal.
If I was aware of what was going on but was told not to tell anyone I would tell someone. Because even though they threatened me I would still tell the police. Also If this happend to me I would tell the police and get this man in jail.
I would definetly be afraid if I were stuck in this situation. I would do as much as I could to get away from them and try to call someone for help. I would not let them know that I was telling anybody but would try to tell someone quietly. I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt but I ould also want to try to get out of there discreetly.
I would be scared and i wouldn't want to go back to that school are anything if it happen to me
I would still tell someone because you don't want anything to happen to the other person
If i where in this situation i would be scared and running for my life cause the coach would scare me a lot if he did that to me in a wrestiling match. I wouild tell the cops so that they could try to arrest him so he cant do it to any other kids because the kids could have got hurt by a preditor like the coach.
I would probably be scarred for life and hate that gym teacher forever. i would immediately tell my parents as soon as it happened and tell them what he said he would do so that they could quickly get him arrested and sent away.
If I were aware of this situation I would tell my parents first and tell them of the threats I was given and figure out what to do. Because this is something that needs to be handled as soon as it could. I would then alert the local police and the school staff about this. This guy deserves lots of charges because what he is doing is sick and he should face many consequences.
