unfortunately in our society children (and teenagers) are sexually molested and assulted. The FIRST program is just the type of thing a sex offender would be drawn to, working closely with teenagers over a long period of time, trips to regionals and other events in which a persons time cannot be tracked for the entire duration. The potential for 'off site' work being done, side trips for parts or food....
If someone you know had been sexually abused, I dont think you would mind submitting to this background check, or paying the $10 yourself, even if it will only keep one person off a team this year.
Dont think that just because YOU would never do anything wrong to a student, or if you are a student, that you would speak up loud and clear if any adult tried to do something to you
that doesnt mean it never happens. It happens far too many times. If we stop even one such occurance then the collective $10 from each volunteer will be money well spent.
