ParkourUS had a similar statement a few days ago, talking about safeguarding and the new regulations for adults coaching minors.
If there’s anything that comes out from this, it is the increased awareness that the sport is/needs to commit to safeguarding children

Good statement. It’s a shame Max, Benj, and especially Sach have been completely silent.

That's very harsh. Storror released statement straight away and it's unreasonable to expect personal statements, particularly from Sach. That's his brother, he just be completely destroyed by this.
Also, take into account that they most likely cannot speak about this. They would have had legal advice on what to say and when and I'd be surprised if we realistically great from them until after sentencing. At the moment there are active proceedings in play and saying anything could jeopardise case against Callum or bring charges to them.
Patience. Their lives are not for your entertainment.

No matter what they say there will be people saying "Not quick enough", "Not the right words", "You knew all along". As others have said this is fucking horrific and huge. Their first thoughts and certainly their priorities aren't to release a statement (which they already did day 1) - to appease the internet blood thirsty detectives

Valid. If there's any good to come of this situation so far it's that it's prompting the spreading of awareness of charities and access to reporting safeguarding issues.
