Everyone had already worked with MoLLIE before. And for some reason, Jeanne and I thought the same thing at the same time after he left, &#39;what do we really now about this guy?&#39;</p> <p>It was surprising to me that in 5 years, the idea of doing background checks on people had not occured to those running a program that works regularly with children. That&#39;s like a no brainer, right? There&#39;s laws about this sort of thing, right? Well, from now on we are going to do checks on employees and volunteers, we just have to figure out how. </p> <p>Unfortunately, no one here knows anything about how to do background checks. I did some looking online a few weeks ago. You get dozens of sites claiming to do background checks. On several of them I checked myself. And though I didn&#39;t give my social security number, the sites could have still done better. most of the info was wrong, stating that I had lived in several cities that I have not, etc.</p> <p>Jeanne is gone for most of the week helping her father in Florida. She asked me to try to figure the background check issue while she was gone. I&#39;m not sure where to look. the proliferation of such sites online make it hard to determine which, if any, are on the level. So if anyone has suggestions, I&#39;d love to hear from you. </p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Rich </p> http://digitalartscorps.org/node/208#comments background check children ctcvista help question youth Tue, 17 Oct 2006 20:00:10 +0000 Richard T.
