A very disturbing video of Denver East High School cheerleaders being forced into the splits at cheer camp has surfaced. In the video, you can hear one cheerleader screaming, crying, and begging her coach to stop.
As a parent, this is very concerning. The video shows that she is clearly in excruciating pain. Imagine being the mother or father of this high schooler, and having to see your teenage daughter go through an unspeakable amount of suffering.

After the investigation went public, the following statement was released:
“We absolutely prohibit any practices that place our students’ physical and mental health in jeopardy. We do not and will not allow any situation in which a student is forced to perform an activity or exercise beyond the point at which they express their desire to stop.”
