Anyone that has participated in high school athletics knows that harsh words from the coach are part of the game. Some would even see it see it as some form of motivation. Not Jennifer Besler. She blames her coach's berating and profanity as the source of her eating disorder, and was able to convince a jury of that fact to the tune of $1.5 million, but the appellant judge threw it out.

Jennifer Besler, who lives in Robbinsville, Washington Township, was upset by the judge's reversal but remained upbeat, saying she hopes to prevail on appeal.

"She's wrong," Besler said of the judge. "She wasted a jury's time. The system is in place for a reason, and if the jury finds a certain way it should stand."

Well, no, Jennifer, that's not how it works. We all don't get $1.5 Million when we get our feelings hurt, no matter how dumb the jury is in New Jersey. But let's look at the big picture. Won't someone please think of the children? Thankfully, Daniel Fleming is there, looking out for the downtrodden.

"The message is crime pays," said Fleming. "And if you're an abusive coach, your lawyers will protect you, and if not, the courts will protect you. But who will protect the kids?"

Yes, who will protect the kids? Their parents? Their teachers? Of course not.

Lawyers.
