Katelynn – Thank you for reaching out and providing information on the Moderate Concern Advisory that Charity Navigator plans to issue on Friday, August 25, 2017. In advance of the advisory going live, I would like to provide accurate information to remedy the inaccurate advisory that is proposed to go live. The following facts need to be considered.

Fact #9- In reference to the August 15, 2017 article written by the Caller Times, Assistant US Attorney Hugo Martinez states “that since the investigation of McMillan began, parents whose children went to the Boys & Girls Club have come forward to report to Homeland Security and the Corpus Christi Police Department inappropriate interactions between the suspect and their child. He said they did not report physical abuse but did report inappropriate conversations”. It is difficult to defend what is considered inappropriate conversation as we do not know what the context of those conversations. Our organization takes these allegations very seriously, and has been closely cooperating with the authorities on their investigation.

No corrective action has been noted. The safety and well-being of the children we serve is the absolute top priority at Boys & Girls Clubs of the Coastal Bend. Our organization is committed to the highest standards of ethical behavior and integrity, and does not tolerate inappropriate or illegal activity on the part of any Club staff, volunteer or youth member. As our Club continues to provide the critical youth development programs and services that our

I’ll talk about my interactions with specific children and staff members; names will

Association with Spur Posse gang this gang is a young gang that adults had a big influence on the boys of this gang. Primary groups can produce a dysfunctional adult, with these adult pushing the minors into something they feel is right. I feel like these boys feel loyal to their group even though other people feel like this group is wrong. I feel like the boys feel like this is alright to do when in society it is wrong. The spur posse gang is definitely a clique this is a cluster of boys that interact with each other and they convince other young boys and girls this group is ok. The boys are so brain washed at a young age they don’t know that is could ruin their future. This group has a lot of deviance this group is very illegal and this group should be shut down otherwise educate the young girls on this so they don’t fall into the mind twist of these young boys. This group is a negative sanction they are breaking norms of society which is going to ruin these young boys’ lives and these adults that are letting these young boys act this way.
