Ya. No way am i saying billets are to blame. Many excellent ones from stories you hear.
It's more that no matter how good billets are, they aren't parents.
As for other sports...i was thinking the same thing. Football, hoops, baseball, lacrosse, etc almost all go through high school. Hockey in the US is often connected to high school. But Canada because of the dispersed population needs to go with club. However gymnastics, figure skating seem to develop outside of highschool. Other sports have their share of abuse/harassment stories.
Would be an interesting and valuable study....rates of abuse amongst underage people living with parents vs away across different sports.
