Ace Gymnastics, Where We Stab Your Daughters With A Screw

To teach his gymnasts perfect form, the coach regularly stabbed his students with a drywall screw.

Gymnastics is physically grueling enough, without getting jabbed over and over with drywall screws until you bleed. Drywall screws are sharp, and the threads get progressively bigger.

Seminole County sheriff's investigators said Coach Mike Turner and another coach repeatedly stabbed one of the boys and a brother repeatedly with dry wall screws, breaking the skin on their buttocks, leaving permanent scarring.

Turner's theory was that he was helping them:

Investigators said Turner's reasoning was a gymnast's mistake could cause a much more serious injury than a stab wound from a little screw.
