OFFICIALS IN BELLWOOD SAY THAT TEMPERS FLARED AT A FEBRUARY 1st MEETING, AND NOW 7 PEOPLE ARE FACING CRIMINAL CHARGES AFTER RECEIVING A LETTER. THE ISSUE SURROUNDS FORMER WRESTLING COACH RYAN BLAZIER, WHO WAS CONVICTED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. PARENTS SAY THEY HAVE BEEN ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SITUATION, BUT HAVE GOTTEN NO ANSWERS.
