CHILD USA Game Over Commission

CHILD USA formed the Game Over Commission in 2018 to launch the only independent investigation by leading experts to study the Larry Nassar abuse case.

This case-study was prompted by the following question: how could every institution and individual who should have protected girls from Larry Nassar fail so miserably? The Commission has set forth six separate findings revealing systemic, institutional failures that place children at risk of sexual abuse. In addition to the findings, the Game Over Commission has issued recommendations to reform the sports systems in the United States. The goal for these recommendations is that officials at all levels of society will see them and work to institute them across institutions to better the protection of the children they work with.
