Qld: Netballers targeted by anonymous letter campaign
Ugly Parent Syndrome has taken a nasty twist in north Queensland, where talented youngnetballers are being targeted in an anonymous letters campaign.
Mackay Netball Association president KAYE SHEARN says a stream of letters attackingthe players' ability have been sent to five netballers over the past two years.
Ms SHEARN believes they're from disgruntled parents whose daughters haven't been identifiedas having special talent.
She says the letters say the players are ordinary and they don't deserve to be there.
Ms SHEARN says the attacks are unlike usual forms of Ugly Parent Syndrome, where aparent might publicly insult a child or a referee.
She says a police officer has told her to put up a sign at the club in the hope ofscaring the writer.
