Coach Calvin publicly presents himself and Rize, his nonprofit organization receiving municipal funds from Baltimore, as an organization dedicated to helping children. That makes the questions surrounding Rize's finances and its relationship with Chrisean Malone impossible to ignore.

There are two separate issues that need independent investigation.

1. What exactly is the financial relationship between Rize/Coach Calvin and Chrisean Malone?

There are serious questions about whether Rize or public resources connected to Rize are being used to provide training, access, services, compensation, or other financial benefits to Chrisean Malone as a private individual.

If public money, City-funded programming, City facilities, equipment, staff time, grants, or other public resources are involved, the public has a right to know exactly what is being funded, who is receiving the benefit, and under what agreement or authorization.

Anyone with documentation concerning Rize's funding, contracts, grants, payments, reimbursements, or financial relationship with Chrisean should preserve that documentation and provide it to the appropriate oversight agencies.

2. What is happening with Chrisean's medically vulnerable child?
Chrisean Malone's 3-year-old son has been publicly described and shown as having profound disabilities, including being unable to walk, talk, or eat independently. There are also publicly visible concerns regarding his apparent clubfoot and whether he is receiving appropriate medical treatment.

Coach Calvin and Rize are reportedly in close physical proximity to this child on a regular basis.
I am not asking social media users to diagnose this child or make a medical determination. I am asking why a severely medically vulnerable toddler is apparently spending significant time in a gym environment and whether the child is receiving the medical care and accommodations he needs.

Many people have already attempted to raise concerns through CPS without getting meaningful results. At this point, the focus needs to expand beyond CPS to the agencies capable of examining the adults and organizations surrounding this situation.

WHO TO CONTACT

Baltimore City Recreation & Parks - THIS IS IMPORTANT. MS SHARON BUCKNOR HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THESE ISSUES IN EMAIL. Chrisean’s training locations began to shift after Mrs Bucknor was notified.

Rize's relationship with Baltimore City Recreation & Parks is particularly relevant if City facilities, programming, funding, permits, or other City resources are involved.

Sharon Bucknor with Baltimore Recreation & Parks has been a helpful resource so far. I encourage people with legitimate, documented concerns to contact the department directly and ask for the appropriate person to review Rize's relationship with the City.

PLEASE DON'T JUST COMMENT — DOCUMENT AND REPORT.
If you have receipts, contracts, grant documents, public records, screenshots of financial solicitations, payment records, statements about Rize funding Chrisean's training, or other firsthand documentation, preserve the originals and send them to the appropriate oversight agency.

Do not exaggerate. Do not make medical diagnoses. Do not harass the child or his mother.
Put the evidence in front of people whose job is to investigate it.

Coach Calvin has built a public reputation around helping children. If everything involving Rize, public funding, and its relationship with Chrisean Malone is legitimate, transparent documentation should be able to establish that.

But if public resources are being diverted for private benefit—or if a nonprofit claiming to serve children is knowingly operating alongside circumstances that place a medically vulnerable child at risk—those questions deserve answers from independent authorities, not silence.

The pro-Scheana posts come in waves, typically right after the “someone check on Scheana” jokes, and none of them seem like genuine human opinion lmao

I would never put it past her - she’s also desperate to get back on TV and needs the networks to see a public image shift/demand

Check out how many “Scheana should be on the Valley” posts/comments this sub and the other sub has, all written very similarly/grammatically and making the same points across different usernames

Since the It Ends With Us lawsuit drama, we know PR companies infiltrating different subreddits is a very commonplace technique even for massive companies!

I truly hope they don’t allow her back in their establishment. Their phones were going off the hook, cops at the business, a ton of bad reviews pop up everytime she’s there. I don’t see how it’s worth it

I recall the days before his passing on the old main sub, he was SO vocal about being afraid of the Malones and Crusty’s sisters having their baby daddies murdered. He absolutely vocalized being afraid for his life.

I’d be curious to listen to those again now that it’s close to 2 years since he passed

I remember when this audio came out, though I did not recall that Chastity mentioned sending proof of the abuse to Tessa who currently may be watching Jr. Chastity has also mentioned her adorable toddler Luella is terrified of Crusty.

Side note: i wish this man wouldn’t use AI to generate thumbnails for him..

I’ll refrain from posting comparisons due to spoilers but maybe in another post - am I the only one who felt nostalgic for island exploring with my bow after this movie!?

I posted speculating but not confirming that Coach Calvin’s nonprofit organization Rize Inc is paying for Chrisean’s transportation (flights) and entertainment - and conveniently none of Junior’s medical needs.

His nonprofit Upton Boxing also had a private citizen training with her disabled toddler at a publicly funded gym. I included a few other items that warrant a closer look, like a $100k government grant for a team vehicle for Rize Inc.

I received a message seemingly from Coach Calvin’s people asking me to remove my post until they had “thoroughly investigated and addressed the situation and will come forward with an update shortly”. It didn’t include legal threats and implied that they are actively addressing a situation.

Anyway, that’s why my post was deleted but I hope they have really cut ties with her.

Rize Inc is the nonprofit organization run by Coach Calvin Ford, who has remained one of Chrisean Rock’s closest associates. He has seen the medical state of Chrisean’s 3 year old son, Chrisean Jr, very frequently over the last year or so.

It is worth considering whether Chrisean Rock’s transportation (plane tickets), entertainment, and boxing training are being funded by the nonprofit.

Rize’s IRS filing for the fiscal year ending in 2025 reported $120,787 in revenue—all listed as contributions—while reporting only $12,437 in expenses, leaving $108,350 in net income and $119,255 in assets. This does not prove wrongdoing, but the organization should explain where the contributions came from.

Rize raised more than $11,000 from approximately 59 private donors through a campaign asking the public to help purchase a team bus. WNADA then awarded Rize $100,000 in public transportation funding to purchase a van or bus to transport children to after-school boxing at UMAR Boxing. Rize later publicly posted that Ford and others picked up a coach bus for the children.
The public has a right to ask: What did the vehicle cost? How much of the $100,000 grant was actually disbursed? What happened to the private donations raised for the same stated purpose? Who owns and insures the vehicle, and is it used exclusively for Rize’s charitable programs?

Baltimore Recreation and Parks should also explain whether publicly supported facilities were used for Chrisean Rock’s private professional training at Upton Boxing Center, where she would often bring her disabled toddler without a proper caregiver.

Calvin Ford is not the child’s parent or doctor, but he publicly presents himself as an advocate and protector of Baltimore’s youth while continuing to train and endorse a woman facing serious public allegations of medical neglect.

It is fair to ask whether he has used his influence to encourage medical intervention or whether Rize has any meaningful child-safeguarding policy.
