Ibrahim Y. Haroon is upset because his child was strip-searched on July 19, 2011 as part of a group of around sixty-five children attending summer camp at the Robert K. Fox Family Y in Lancaster, Ohio.
Some feces was found in the pool. The staff asked for kids to confess to defecating in the pool, but no child would confess. If the staff had any sort of wisdom, they would have just suspended pool privileges, but that solution did not seem to be oppressive and sexy enough for them.
The staff took all of the swimmers into the locker rooms, two-by-two, had them face the wall, and had them pull down their bathing suits or bathing suit bottoms. The staff members then inspected the bathing suits.
Just because one person may have pooped in the pool, why does that mean dozens of innocent children have to be humiliated? Also, since when did it become okay for an adult to demand a child disrobe? This strip-search of children is not only a gross violation of basic civil liberties, it is a sex crime. Adults cannot force children to undress. A teacher does not have the right to take children into a classroom and make them undress. The ranger at the park does not have the right to take children behind the bushes and make them undress. What the staff at the Robert K. Fox Family Y did is no different. Every staff member who participated in this strip-search needs to be fired, arrested for lewd and lascivious conduct, and never be allowed to work with children again.

If any of them were my children, and thank God they were not. I would sue the YMCA. They do not have a right to look in childrens underwear. People should join forces and sue them. Someone poops in the pool, you close it down. Have the children dress and if your really concernded about someone being sick, then you send home notifications to all the parents. I think the only illness that was at the pool that day was the preverted seachers hired by the YMCA.
