How hard is it to check? At a church where I attended for a number of years, anyone that had access to the children had to be vetted before they could be around children as a teacher or caregiver. Period. No exceptions.
No kidding. They are constantly covering for each other. They don't truly vet most of those people - especially teachers. Very low bar - unless you are a conservative.
My wife and I ran an elementary ski program for 12 years. In order to do so we had to have background checks and be fingerprinted. And to echo u/mac1222, all the churches we've attended, the youth volunteers all had to be vetted before volunteering to serve in children's ministry. I'd be pissed as hell like this mother is
First, what was he put on the registry for? (There are many people on the registry for reasons that are stupid so that the registry's usefulness is diluted)
Second, my question and knowing he was on the registry is a single lookup. Maybe plus an official records request if he's on it for a stupid reason.
Some states have. I have never gone down that rabbit hole, so I don't know what kind of conversion there has been.
But also in terms of interoperability, if you are 'on the list' in one state and you move to a state where you'd be ineligible, you stay on the new state's registry. I only know this because I hired that guy in a place that was bordered by other states and suggested he looked up the laws in other states. He already had. I felt bad for him.

Yes. I know that too.
They are all in this together.

So, why didn't anyone know?
Define "stupid reason", please.
High school senior dates a high school sophomore, parents disapprove, get him arrested. Registered for life.
I hired a guy who was convicted of statutory rape. Him and his high school girl friend were discovered on his 18th birthday by her dad. She was 17.
The law said he was an adult and she was a minor, therefore it was a sex crime that put him on the registry.
Best part is, he married her and was married to her some 12 or so years after the incident with two kids.
He had the whole case file and would hand it over to potential employers because it was apparently hard to get his foot in the door most places.
Awww. I thought they had changed that.
