Last night we published emails that were sent from some INSANE helicopter parents at Braintree High School, to their daughters basketball coach, which prompted the coach to resign. We got these emails by doing homework. We went through the entire roster, found contacts on Facebook, messaged everyone who would know anything (including the parents we blogged about ), and got our information. Old school muckraking 101.

Well, one of the parents who wrote an email was this lady:

Screen Shot 2017-04-10 at 10.42.12 PM

Her name is Michelle Scarpa, and she was upset with her daughter’s lack of playing time. By all accounts her daughter is a nice kid, but this story wasn’t about the kids. It was about the parents who were ruining everything for other kids who will no longer have this caliber coach going forward. In her email to Coach McDonnell she said, “my beautiful lovely daughter will persevere despite your attempts to tear her confidence down.” 

That right there is crazy talk. She’s acting like this coach destroyed her life. It’s a freaking GAME!! A high school GAME!! The girl will not be playing in college, but she had the opportunity to be part of something special in high school. And instead of embracing that, you’re whining about all the things she DIDN’T get.

Newsflash Mom – someone has to sit on the bench. Your daughter plays for one of the best programs in the state. If you want her to get playing time, transfer to Weymouth, who Braintree beat 54-9. She’d probably be the star of the team. No one was trying to “tear her confidence down.” She just wasn’t good enough to start. That’s how competitive high school sports works. If she got to play more then someone else would have to sit. The general public trusts a coach who has a history of winning, and has herself played D1 basketball, a lot more than some overprotective mother who starts off an email with, “my beautiful lovely daughter.”

Anyway, we did reach out to her for this story but she ignored us. However, now that we’ve got her attention we heard from her first thing in the morning, claiming the email was inaccurate:

The best part is she messaged us offering to show the “other side” of the story, by sending us the emails that Coach McDonnell sent her, so we could see it all in context. Then we said, “sure, send em over.” Next thing you know she decided she “wont’ give us the privilege” of seeing the emails:

Screen Shot 2017-04-11 at 3.03.13 PMScreen Shot 2017-04-11 at 3.29.47 PM

In other words, the emails would confirm that she is indeed an out of control psycho parent.

They still don’t get it. They haven’t learned their lesson. They really think they can just send crazy messages like this and get away with it. Ask around about the turtle. We don’t play like that. I know you’re used to bullying and harassing coaches and teachers because they’re public servants and they have to sit there and take it with a smile on their face. But the turtle doesn’t like to be poked. And when you do that, all bets are off.

Anyway, we didn’t wanna make this about the kids, since their parents are the ones who are out of control. But one of them is an adult, and from her messages to us it was clear that she’s equally as responsible as they are for this situation. Bella Tonetti is the daughter of Rick and Kim, the two parents who wrote the insane emails at the bottom of this blog. Here’s what she wrote to us:

Screen Shot 2017-04-11 at 3.07.54 PMScreen Shot 2017-04-11 at 3.09.38 PM

Uh-oh!! Legal problems. Paging Attorney Richard N. Vulva!!

Screen Shot 2017-04-11 at 3.10.39 PM

Newsflash Bella – there is no other side. The coach’s job is to coach. The opinions of your parents when it comes to the job she is doing is irrelevant. It doesn’t actually matter what they think. They think it does, but they’re wrong. They don’t matter. The problem is no one has ever told them that before. Now they know that, and you know it too.

This was pretty telling:

Screen Shot 2017-04-11 at 3.10.58 PM

“They felt their children had been disrespected by the actions of the coach.”

In other words, she felt disrespected because she was the lone senior who didn’t get an award on awards night (the school forces them to give out X amount of awards).

Oh, and just for what it’s worth, Coach McDonnell messaged us and asked us to take the article down. She says she doesn’t want to see the kids go through this. Ya got that? The same coach you’re whining about “disrespecting” you, actually respects you so much that she doesn’t want you to be collateral damage. In other words, she’s a great person, and you’re just an ungrateful player who feels like the coach can never do enough.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter if you our your parents felt disrespected. They don’t matter. Your opinion doesn’t matter either. Your job is to do what the coach says. That’s all there is to a player-coach relationship. You were just never taught that because you were raised by the “my kid has to have a trophy” generation of parents.

Then she started complaining more about the “treatment” from the coach:

Screen Shot 2017-04-11 at 3.11.29 PM

I don’t need to experience the treatment of your coach. She won two state championships and led you to another this year. That’s literally the ONLY thing that matters. She’s extremely good at her job. You were lucky to play for her, and your opinion as to her treatment of you is once again, irrelevant.

She also questions our intentions in writing the blog:

Screen Shot 2017-04-11 at 3.12.23 PMScreen Shot 2017-04-11 at 3.13.00 PM

No Bella, our intention wasn’t to get a lot of views. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take it. But the reason it’s getting so many views is because people are sick of parents like yours. They can’t believe what they just read. It’s that outrageous. We are trying to spread awareness of a very serious problem that’s hurting teachers and coaches across this country. And it looks like we have achieved that goal.

    Like I tell my kids , once high school comes, it about winning. If you don’t bring your A game, you won’t play. This weeds out the kids that are not that good but mommy and daddy knew the coach or coached to make sure their kids played all the time.

    I love how there are so many different forms of crazy. First of all it’s girls basketball, so who gives a fuck. I could round up five 12 year old boys in my neighborhood alone and they’d beat them.

    Nobody gives a fuck about girls basketball. Nobody. More people have viewed those e-mails them saw a second of a female basketball game the past 10 years.

      I am a 76 year old life long resident of Weymouth with some expertise on this travesty of out of control parents. As a former coach of a high school aged top notch summer baseball program in town from 1967-1991 and father of 2 boys who played high school sports, I encountered a minimal amount of parent intervention which is much more prevalent today with this new turn of the century parent who are overbearing, selfish, obnoxious, and despicable human beings with Braintree leading the pack. I am a die hard supporter and attendee of high school sports, not only my alma mater, but other local town’s. I have traveled all over the state to watch high school sporting events, but none more than the Braintree and Archbishop Williams girls basketball as well as the baseball tournaments over the past 10 years. As a matter of fact, if I were one of the few sane parents of Braintree girls basketball, I would consider transferring to Archie’s, who have a great program led by one of the best girls coaches in the area and a normal friendly parent following. The Braintree parents both in girls basketball and baseball are a disgusting, snobbish, self centered , two faced bunch of assholes who don’t deserve to be parents, in particular, the Tonetti duo,who have left a trail of raw sewerage where ever they landed. I would think that these 2 grease balls would be better off getting out of “Dodge” now and taking their cesspool full of shit with them. Now it’s the baseball coaches’ turn to try and escape the wrath of the pack rats who I have witnessed the past 2 years at Campanelli Stadium and 2 State Titles for the “Wamps”. They congregate in an isolated area in small groups behind the grandstand and crucify moves the coach makes. It appears to me that they are a bunch of youth coaches as well as disgruntled parents. There are nothing but a bunch of wannabes who think they know baseball. Coach O’Connell has forgotten more about baseball than thes clowns will ever know. Now that is one outsider’s opinion of Braintree’s now growing reputation as the leader of the worst parents of high school athletes in a few of The aforementioned sports.

      For the record. This is the email that was sent to a group of us that some responded to negatively. As usual, the kids lose out.

      Subject: BHS Bball – Parents Only

      Hi Parents,

      I apologize in advance for having to send this email. This has been a very interesting season for me, and to be honest, I’ve experienced many firsts this year in dealing with some parent issues. I had considered myself incredibly lucky to go 8 years with minimal ones so I guess I had this coming.

      We won by 40+ points last night with all players getting relatively equal playing time, and issues even came out of that game. I’m sorry if you’re someone who doesn’t feel that this email applies to you (and there are a number of you who should feel that way). I felt I had to do it collectively before something else happens.

      I coach basketball because I enjoy being around kids and I genuinely have a vested interest in them. I also love the game of basketball and appreciate that it allows for a competitive outlet.

      I have always assumed that high school sports was about the kids, but I’m learning a lot this season. I will continue to do my best for Braintree and for the girls that I coach. My favorite hours of the day are with your daughters. I don’t favor one girl over the other but I do tend to have a deeper connection with those kids who enjoy and accept my coaching. It’s simply a human reaction.

      Unfortunately, I’ve had to question too many times this season why I coach. But the kids always bring me back, and hopefully will continue to.

      Please allow me to just coach the team. I don’t have an out for any girl, nor would I ever. That’s the opposite of how I live my life.

      I hope the rest of this season can be as enjoyable for all of us as it has been for me in the past.

      Thanks,

      Kristen

        When was that email sent – after which of your 40+ point wins? And maybe one of you disgruntled parents could explain to us what problems/issues/complaints happened post game (again – a 40+ point win……) that prompted the email?

            These parents don’t care that they ruined a good coach and a good team because their kids are seniors and won’t be there next year. I can’t believe one of these parents is a teacher and one is a school guidance counselor. Obviously they don’t give two shits about kids, unless its their own little, special snowflake.

    Oh Bella! As much as you and your family deserve this, I feel really bad for you guys. But hey, when people like you, your sister, and your disgraceful parents think they can get far, openly insult successful professionals like Coach McDonnel, and have it slide by, well karma is a bitch. “Legal actions”, “you have affected my sister and I and placed us in a negative light”, and “my parents have lives”…let’s straighten some things out. First, for someone who is about to graduate and begin their *real* life, you are not off to a good start my darling by calling out accomplished, successful professionals such as your basketball coach. Second, you and your sister should’ve saw that coming- you guys are manipulative, egoistic, and destructive individuals and it’s sad that you guys are learning the hard way. As for your parents with lives, pfff, I think the general consensus thinks otherwise.

    April 12, 2017 at 6:15 pm

    Where did this coach play D1? Lol get your facts right please. You have no idea what actually went on day in and day out. With the talent this woman had she should have won four straight championships since the first two but she does not know how to coach. The reason these girls beat bishop feehan the third time is because the seniors asked the team to watch film before practice and discussed changes that could be made amongst themselves. They lost the state championship because they did not have a press breaker. Seriously, they did not have a freakin press breaker and the coach failed to put one in after Braintree’s 20-8 run went south. Imagine that? Springfield double teamed briantrees best player and the coach did nothing about it. She did not set screens or try to get people open, she let everyone run wild turnover after turnover. It was embarrassing to watch. This woman has treated many of the kids on the team terribly but no one cares about that. No one asks why these parents were so angry? What caused all this? These news reports are sad and completely biased. This great women “who asked you to take down these articles” only did so because the superintendent of Braintree high demanded it. People need to get a clue. There’s a reason she let these emails out in the first place. She wanted this. She’s a nasty human. And FYI the first woman’s daughter IS playing in college because a coach saw and knew her talent from basketball outside of high school. I get you were trying to make a point about the parents, but now you have included the players and it’s only fair if you get their side of the story. Also so much information is in fact inaccurate with these articles. You said there were three captains and the coach didn’t want to leave two girls out…who were the original three captains? Whatever your answer is, it is wrong because there were only two captains originally making it completely fine to have 3 girls (more than half of the senior class) not captains. She was not doing it for “fairness”. And as much as you claim the word politics doesn’t hold much meaning, many people who actually were involved with Braintree basketball knew it was not a coincidence that the parents who were pretending to be best friends with the coach and hanging out with her the most, happened to see their kid on the floor a lot more and more…playing over girls they did not deserve to be. I could go on and on but it saddens me that nobody knows the truth , even people like you claiming they do.

        This coach had a winning % that Bill Belicheck would marvel at and we are supposed to believe that this is because she had all of this dynamic talent in Braintree Massachusetts! The fact is, year after year, she took slightly better than average talent and made consistent runs at State championships. This is because she is a great coach, and you will soon be looking at many 15-15 seasons or the like for years to come.

        Don’t blame the kids – most of us were clueless and self-centered at that age too. Blame these few idiot parents who drove a phenomenal coach out of town. I hope she catches on at Weymouth or the like and comes back and kicks your asses!

      Nice try defending the despicable actions of a bunch of entitled, delusional twit parents. If it weren’t for the returning players with decent parents I’d really enjoy watching this team go down in flames next year. What’s going to be your excuse for their losing record next year – Turtleboy?

      I coached my own kids’ teams to protect them from parents like you. The good parents would line up to get their kids on my teams. I didn’t do it for myself or my ego – I did it for the kids, knowing there would be at least one less selfish, asshole adult in their lives.

      Parents like you use your children and destroy any chance of them becoming decent adults. Keep wallowing in your conceit and ignorance.

        April 13, 2017 at 8:43 pm

        Coaches kids are privileged and protected. They are at the top. Now they can be brats or the sweetest kids ever. And I think we have all seen both. But to play and survive on the team you have to kiss up and accept the role of being inferior to their kid. Most people can do that. And real friendship are created. The coaches kids are at the top and everyone else falls beneath. Some beside, but none ahead. That carries over into high school. Coach knows and may be good friends with kids parents. At the least, she knows how things work and the coaches kids are to be treated special. Politics. Most of the time it’s smooth sailing everyone knows their role and are happy. But every so often you will get that kid that will not fall in line.
        They don’t want to kiss up, they don’t care about politics or being liked, they refuse to settle for anything but being the best and feel that if they are the best they have earned the respect to be treated as such. To some it may be seen as arrogant, selfish, and whatever else but really it isn’t. They just refuse to be controlled. And controlling people hate that.

    Ok, I NEVER comment on blog’s, but this GUIDANCE COUNSELOR is the same one who I sat with 3 times a week when my child was being called the “N” word, and a homeless bum. I spoke with her constantly . It wasn’t until my child had his nose broken , his face rearranged and almost took his own life that I was able to get him into a new High School. So her opinion means absolutely nothing.

    Friendly reminder parent’s it’s Braintree Massachusetts, not Beverly Hill’s. Your precious child will eventually have to experience life with bosse’s, etc. Who ask them to do thing’s they don’t want to do. As far as the Teacher’s at BHS…outstanding, caring individual’s. As far as the coache’s at BHS. ..outstanding , caring individual’s. As far as guidance, and people who are supposed to protect your child when they’re not only bullied, but assaulted. They would rather defend the “townie’s ” by saying, “well, you and your children were homeless at one point, right? ”
    I’m just disgusted by this, so many Teacher’s work tirelessly to provide our children with the best education they can. There job is not to teach your child that sometimes people will say “no.” That’s your job as a parent, and that’s real life

    As a parent of two HS basketball players, I find this unbelievable. The most alarming part is that these parents truly don’t think they did anything wrong. They are actually trying to turn the tables and blame you, the coach, and everybody else. What these knuckleheads are missing – the whole idea of youth sports is character building to ready these kids for life. Unless you’re an absolute stud, there is a very likely chance, at some point, you will have to deal with what these players did. Every coach is different and basketball player evaluation is very subjective. The only opinion that matters is that of your varsity coach. Kids need to know this and simply do the best they can to try and give the coach what she/he is looking for. Life isn’t fair and youth sports is a great training ground for these kids to get ready for “the real world”. A sad commentary on parents here.

    Something tells me the parents were behind the kids response. Why would you even let your child get involved in something that you created? If you are innocent then just post the email the coach sent you first. I find it hard to believe that the coach was the instigator.

    i completely was behind the idea of “parent’s being entitled” and fully support your point. But i found your responses very antagonistic . You completely lost all credibility by your childish remarks in my opinion. That highschool kid was very well spoken, and had great points, and you were rude! You could have gotten your point across in a much more mature manner.

    Wow. SOOOOO subtle exploiting people for their own personal problems and you don’t even have the balls to admit to our FACE what your name is. We all are upset that coach McDonnell left but you need to get your head out of the gutter if you think personally and vulgarly insulting people will get your problems solved. Hope you come to your senses and realize that this won’t get any of your problems solved in the real world bud.

      Turtleboy doesn’t hide their name’s you’re just too lazy to look it up. Name’s? Like the coach they had prior to this amazing coach who dated a player and then married her. Excuse me while I vomit. Now she teaches. ..Talk about turning a blind eye

    Not for nothing.. but any reasonable, somewhat educated adult would not have sent the email originally. I just know that before I even send a bitchy email at work I word it very carefully and review it NUMEROUS times before I hit that send button. You can’t unsend it and it can go anywhere from there. Then to respond to this blog? I would think I would have researched. Read a few other articles to see what I was up against. Then I would just poof fade away. So to respond was just plain stupid on their part. But that’s why we all keep coming back. These idiots reply and make it more interesting. The parent’s are in the wrong. An 18 year old girl wanted to test out her adultness and use some vocab words to sound smart and articulated(ish) in a FB message to TBS. Just a bunch of idiots who messed everything up for a winning team by forcing the coach to quit. AND now perpetuating it even further by continuing to argue their stupid defense. Whatever TBS has this hands down.

    It’s quite odd that the subject of Turtle Boy blogs largely have not realized thata if they just ignore the blog, it will all die down, but if they respond, and especially threaten, then Turtle Boy has fresh blog material for days and days.

    Why do they insist on feeding their own misery? DO they secretly enjoy seeing themselves in more and more blogs?

      Some obviously love the attention (Dan Margolis anyone?).

      Some are too stupid to realize what they are doing (Typical of ratchets, morons).

      Others are too entitled to care what they are doing (Braintree parents).

    These parents are complete garbage. A little perspective about their kids’ abilities would go a long way towards not making a sports season a shitty experience for all. If your kid ain’t playing next year in college, why do you care so much about individual recognition? Fucking enjoy the ride to the championship game!

    Look at the Rolling Stones. Not everyone is Mick and Keith. Charlie, Woody, and Bill were smart enough to shut up, make their contributions, and enjoy the ride for a long time. Mick and Keith get all the glory. That’s the way a team and a band works.

    Did you ever think that along with crazy helicopter parents that bloggers desperate for likes & posting small-town gossip might be a problem too?

    Meanwhile your “investigation” is some Braintree town employee who sent you cell phone pictures of her computer screen (If you look close you can make out her outline in the pictures).

    These are the fucking people that are ruining America by giving every player a trophy and making games end in a tie, so fucking stupid. Kids need to learn suffering and pain because they will endure alot as an adult. Teaching them that ‘ everything will be ok” is going to ruin this country. This country needs people with balls, even if they are little turtle ball or lady turtle balls.

        Yeah thats why Barstool has gone from shitty website to what it is today, millions of clicks a day, satellite radio show, comedy central etc… Honestly they at least have 2-3 sports related blogs a day. I have no problem with TB, i enjoy reading some of the shit on here, just take the “Sports” off your name, there is maybe 1 sports article a week…The majority of what’s on here is exposing local crack heads for selling food stamps, baby mama drama or high school shit like this Braintree thing. The parents and kid in this story suck, the coach probably sucks personally too, even though she is a good at her job…bottom line is pussification of America is a real thing and this is a prime example. We are raising a nation of entitled brats…
