Someone Tell These Cheerleaders They Don't Need to Try So Hard

Posted by Colleen Kane


This latest newsmaking foible has numerous elements that commonly surface here on Scanner: the cheerleaders, the stripper pole, the drunken hijinks, the overage guy being inappropriate with the underage people, and that modern classic, getting in trouble when you post photos on Facebook. 

And now, for how those puzzle pieces go together. 

 A cheerleading coach at Freedom High School in Bethlehem, PA, was given two photos featuring two cheerleaders from the squad, that were posted on Facebook. In one, a 16-year old was dancing on a stripper pole in uniform, with an alcoholic beverage in her hand (multi-tasker!), and the other showed a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old kissing 36-year old Steven Russo on the cheek. Russo is the father of a 17-year-old FHS student, who according to other students, has been throwing ragers ans supplying his son's classmates with alcoholic bevs. 

At the rager in question, he encouraged the girls onto the pole in his basement. Now this creep is facing charges of endangerment to children, corruption of minors, and more.
