No hugs or kisses allowed

Hello, my friends! I'm back with an update. If you don't know the beginning of the story, catch up here.

So, we decided that it would be best for The Agent to go to camp personally and talk to the director. If it went well, great. If not, I could make arrangements to stay home with the kids during the second week of Spring Break, and I could find another camp to take them to during the summer. No worries.

The Agent went to the church on Friday asked to speak to the director. She was still there, and The Agent asked for some time to speak with her privately. She escorted The Agent into her office and said she was happy to speak with him.

"I want you to know that we've been very happy with the church and the camp last summer and this spring," The Agent began. "The children are having fun, making friends, and learning valuable lessons. That being said, it has been brought to my attention that one of your counselors is hugging and kissing my daughter."

The director nodded sadly. "That has been brought to my attention as well."

(this means that either someone else saw him doing it with Bug, or someone saw him doing it with someone else.)

"We have taught our children that these are signs of affection that we only show to our most loved ones," The Agent continued. "Other than close family, we have a strict 'hands off' rule."

"That is our policy as well," the director agreed.

It turns out that Coach Dwayne was a volunteer, not even a paid employee. He was told that his help was no longer needed, and he was asked not to return. The director stressed to The Agent that the safety of the children was their top priority, and she hoped that both Bug and BK would return to the camp next week, but she understood if we wanted a refund.

The assured her that we would be back the next week, and during the summer, too. "My wife said she believed the hug and kiss were in innocence, and we are not accusing anyone of anything. We just want to make sure our children are safe."

When Bug went to camp on Monday, she didn't mention anything about Dwayne, but when I took the kids in the next day, The first thing she asked the director was, "Why wasn't Coach Dwayne here yesterday?"

The director looked at me as she answered. "Coach Dwayne was a volunteer, he was helping out. We don't need his help anymore, so he's not coming back."

"Oh," Bug said thoughtfully. "So, he's never coming back?"

The Director was still looking right at me. "He's never coming back." She was saying this more to me than to Bug.

Damn straight he's not.

So, it all turned out ok.... although, the day after this happened, someone told me I overreacted, so I was filled with guilt. It likely was all in innocence, but how is one to know?

It's just best if everyone keeps their hands off my children.
