re: Parent expresses concern about transgender camp counselor at Huntsville's Space Camp

Background checks are useless since it'll only show if someone has been caught/convicted. If the person has been caught before they either aren't allowed to be around kids or won't apply because they know they can't pass.

The real way to prevent this garbage is to train those in charge how to spot the behaviors that lead to problems. They need learn how to spot the grooming behaviors that the pedophiles use to get the kids to where they want them to be vulnerable.

Pedos target outcast kids, choose a favorite, begin giving gifts, try to separate the kid from the group, then slowly start pushing the boundaries to see how far they can go.

It's a sad cycle, but it's up to the individual to be vigilant because most organizations are not willing to stand up and prevent obviously problematic individuals. To a certain extent the organization's hands are tied because of antidiscrimination laws.
