The Perils of Foster Care and School Sports: Lawyer Explains Institutional Abuse Cases

In this episode of the David vs. Goliath Podcast, Stan Gipe and Matt Dolman, Attorneys of Dolman Law Group based in Clearwater, FL, are joined by Sara Beller, a member of Dolman Law Group, to discuss the realities of institutional abuse cases involving foster care systems, schools, youth programs, and sports organizations. Sara shares insights from her background prosecuting sex crimes and explains how systemic failures within institutions can allow abuse to continue unchecked. The conversation covers warning signs parents should watch for, why many victims stay silent, the challenges survivors face when coming forward, and how evolving laws may still give survivors legal options years later. This episode also explores the importance of recognizing grooming behaviors, trusting instincts when something feels wrong, and creating environments where children feel safe speaking up. #DavidVsGoliathPodcast #DolmanLawGroup #InstitutionalAbuse #FosterCare #SchoolSafety #YouthSports #LegalPodcast #ChildAdvocacy #PersonalInjuryLaw #SurvivorAdvocacy 📩 Contact us. https://www.dolmanlaw.com/contact-us/ Learn more about Roblox lawsuits: https://www.fileabuselawsuit.com/roblox-lawsuit/ ✅ Dolman Law Group Website: https://www.dolmanlaw.com/ https://www.dolmanlaw.com/podcast/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/dolman-law-group/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Dolman-Law-Group-Accident-Injury-Lawyers-PA-102197802513455/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dolmanlawgroup/ X: https://x.com/dolmanlaw Find us: https://www.google.com/maps?cid=1182777073142368212 ✅ Matt Dolman Bio: https://www.dolmanlaw.com/about-us/our-attorneys/matthew-a-dolman/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewdolman/ ✅ Stan Gipe Bio: https://www.dolmanlaw.com/about-us/our-attorneys/stanley-gipe-esq/ ✅ Sara Beller Bio: https://www.dolmanlaw.com/about-us/our-attorneys/sara-beller 📲 Subscribe: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
