Brown's Gym, located near Hacienda Avenue and Decatur Boulevard, is training young gymnasts for the Olympics. Parents say the sport is a way of life, having a positive influence on their children's lives. They say coaches and doctors are like role models.
"And when unfortunately when you have so much trust with a doctor, the parents are blindsided," said parent Christine Dayton.
Young gymnasts can train up to 5 hours a day, which means a lot of time is spent with coaches and doctors.
