  LANCASTER, Ohio -- About 65 children attending summer camp at the Robert K. Fox Family Y were told Tuesday to lower their bathing suits so counselors could visually inspect the suits after feces was found in the swimming pool.
  
  That upset parent Ibrahim Y. Haroon, who said his 9-year-old son came home traumatized. He filed a complaint with the Lancaster police.
  
  Now the Y is investigating what happened and reviewing its policies, Executive Director Mike Lieber said today.
  
  Feces also was found in the pool on Monday and two other times within the last couple of weeks, he said. That could sicken the campers and the counselors in the water with them, he said.
  
  Story continues belowAdvertisement The campers are in the fourth to sixth grades.
  
  After the fourth occurrence on Tuesday, counselors asked the children if anyone was sick or had a problem. No one came forward. So, the child-care director who supervises the counselors directed them to take the children two by two into the girls and boys locker rooms and shower areas, require them to turn around facing away from the counselors, and lower their swim shorts for inspection, Lieber said.
  
  The children then pulled up their bathing suits and showered, he said.
  
  Haroon didn't like what he heard when his son came home.
  
  "My child was very upset and seemed a bit traumatized," he said today. "His exact statement was it was very uncomfortable."
  
  Haroon filed a police report and also talked to Lieber.
  
  "I'm not sure that there was a criminal violation, but there was definitely a violation of his civil rights," he said. "Why weren't the parents notified before? If a search was going to be done, a child, like an adult, would have a right to due process."
  
  Lieber said he reported the matter to Job and Family Services, which licenses the Y to run its school-age-child summer camp program, and was told that it would have been better to put the children, one by one, behind a privacy shield and have them hand out their suits to be inspected.
  
  The inspections provided no clues to which child had diarrhea, Lieber said.
  
  The pool was thoroughly cleaned and reopened yesterday, he said.

  Not understanding why the camp would think it was ok though to take these kids in and inspect them naked, in this day and age?????? Idiots.

  If they are worried about some one getting sick from a couple of turds that is nothing, kids piss in the pool all the time undetected.

  Agree. And it's usually beat into the heads of counselors at things like this to be very careful. Idiots for even thinking about doing this. My son went to a Cub Scout camp and the Scout leaders weren't even allowed to into the bathrooms with the kids. The adults had their own bathrooms.

  It probably would have been far more socially acceptable, though I'm not sure "ok" is easily defined as just that.

  Serious Question. Did it used to be ok to duece in the pool? It sounds like these kids were not in diapers, 9 year olds need to own up to dropping the duece.

  Taking a piss or sweating in a pool will do nothing except make the air smell a bit if a lot of people do it in an in-door pool.
  
  Having poop in the pool is a health risk, but easily cleaned up and pools can usually begin operating again within the hour. Having diarrhea is a much bigger risk and can shut down the pool for the day. At the end the article mentions this was diarrhea they were concerned about.
  
  I'm not excusing what they did, I'm just pointing out there is a BIG difference between taking a piss and having the squirts in the pool.

  Some guy vomited in the Put-In-Bay Resort pool two weeks ago when I was there. Kinda funny until they shut the damn pool down for about 4 hrs.
• Bigdogg

  There is school law legislation out there that allows it, but it is extremely circumstantial.
