CTV News: ‘We were just children’

It's a scene that didn’t make it into the documentary but is deeply revealing all the same.

While sitting around a backyard bonfire in their hometown of Sarnia, Ont., Abby Spadafora and Mel Hunt sound like so many other thirty-something moms.

They talk about their kids, housing prices in the area and long lost acquaintances. But when the reminiscing turns to the years they spent together training as elite athletes, the conversation takes a dark turn.

“We were just children, you know, doing a sport we love. And some people took advantage,” Abby told CTV W5.
