There's no garauntees in anything. One can only try to properly prepare in order to try and tilt the scales in their favor.

I'm not saying it would "prevent" any occurance, but if the parent had run a background check it is possible they would see something that made them uncomfortable and therefore would not enroll their child and put them in a dangerous environmnet.

That sounds very unusual. Do parents and consumers run background checks on professionals in your state? I don't know any state in the country that supports that level of intrusion, but I've been wrong before.

Here in positions that require background screening, it is done at the time of hire and tthe only people with the information is the individual's HR department (or hiring manager if there is no HR). FACTA laws apply if HR garnered the information from a reporting agency. Background checks are rarely done after the point of hire so someone hired in 1995 that was busted doing something illegal 2 years ago on vacation in Vegas may not get caught unless they change jobs.

Anybody can have a background check done on anybody. All you have to do is pay for it.

True, they also have free checks butyou can't really trust these sources. I can't remember which service I paid for but I came up 100% clean, nothing to report. I demanded my money back and got it.

It definetly doesn't help with the images of martial art schools in Ct. I do feel bad for the victims as wel as the owner and instructor who was arrested because who knows what was going through his head at the time.

All a clean background check shows is that they guy hasn't been caught yet!
