Alright, theyre going to do random checks, so what. This is the organization that consistently does not have enough staff for *anything* and totally relies on volunteers. How on earth are they going to check *1000* different teams who probably have at least 5-10+ mentors. It just wont work.
Even if they do randomly check, how will they know if *all* adult advisors on each team even put their names down as advisors. If an adult simply never got a background check and never indicated that they were a part of a team, FIRST will never ever know. What are they going to do, send a representative to every team and have them watch the team all season long to make sure that noone who wasnt screened works with kids?
Basically, a child can still be taken advantage of, molested, etc. and it wont matter to FIRST because they legally covered their backs. Obviously again you can see that FIRST doesnt care about stopping child abuse, they care about not being liable and getting sued for millions of dollars.
