Boys and Girls Clubs Allred

My kids went to summer camp here and we had a horrible experience. One of the counselors, Cameron, got mad at a group of 5 and 6 year old boys he was responsible for and ended up giving my 5 year old son a painful and intentional «indian» burn on his arm. The worst part about it was that another counselor saw the incident and yet another counselor gave him an ice pack for his red arm (as he was sobbing) … and not one of these counselors told their boss or anyone else. The only reason I found out about it was that my older son, who was 6, told me about it in great detail. I ended up calling the Director of the San Dieguito branch and all she did was say how much she really liked Cameron and that she wouldn’t hire him next year. I talked to the other counselors in person and they all confirmed my son’s story and said they didn’t have training on what to do if they ever saw an inappropriate incident. My take-​away is that the Boys & Girls Club of San Dieguito does not properly train their counselors and doesn’t seem to take physical abuse of the kids seriously. By the way, I tried to report this several times to the CA Licensing Board and CPS but they all said that because summer camps operate under special rules, that licensing and CPS couldn’t do anything. Beware!
