Indiana students suffer second-degree burns after dance practice punishment [View all]
Warren Central High School parents are upset after they said multiple girls on the school's majorette team suffered burns and serious blisters after being forced to do bear crawls on the track in the heat.
"She was loving the first few weeks of high school, and now she's not," parent Travis Peagler said.
Peagler said he couldn't believe his eyes last week when he picked his 14-year-old daughter, Trinity, up from Warren Central High School and looked down and saw her hands burned and blistered. She told him she was forced to do bear crawls across the scorching hot track during majorette practice. She said she was told to do extra due to her grades.
It happened on Sept. 18 when the temperature was almost 90 degrees.
"I really just want to know what made you think that that was OK, on the 86-degree, whatever degree weather, day that it was OK to have them doing bear crawls on an asphalt track when it had to be at least over 100 degrees on the track," Trinity's mother, Stacey, said.

This story is absolutely horrific. The father of the girl in the story is a veteran of the 82nd Airborne and said his training was never anything like this. This coach should be fired and arrested!
