I recently read of a case in Northern California where the well-known founder of a youth soccer league was arrested for allegedly molesting a couple of boys.
While reading about yet another twisted adult preying on children was both horrifying and sickening, I was equally disturbed by a paragraph buried deep in the article. The league treasurer was quoted as saying that individuals who apply to coach are asked on their application if they’ve ever been convicted of a criminal offense or accused of child abuse.
They’re asked? No background checks are conducted for volunteers?
