So as much as I don’t like reading or hearing about kids being abused by adults this is one situation that should be handled accordingly by the police.
And your probably wondering what this has to do with background checks right? The thing is that she didn’t need to be certified or screened for a background check to teach in a Texas charter school. And to top it all off she was wanted on a criminal mischief charge, for slashing a woman’s tires last year.
Found the original story here, and another here
What are your thoughts on the matter should she be criminally prosecuted?

For Senate Bill 1685 a bill that would have allowed persons seeking to get guns and ammo in Oklahoma would be able to obtain them without a federal criminal background check being conducted.
Henry vetoed the legislation on Tuesday, saying the bill would make it easier for criminals to obtain weapons in Oklahoma and endanger citizens and law enforcement officers.

A Connecticut state bill would allow state jobs to omit the “Have you ever been convicted of a felony?” question on state job applications but not for the private sector.
If passed into law, Connecticut would join Minnesota, Kansas and New Mexico in restricting state background checks. In Minnesota, private businesses are also restricted until a job offer has been made in asking the question.

Should this law be made at the national, state, and private levels? Let me know what you think below.

With the 2010 US Census in full force the FBI has begun to process 484,000 census employees criminal background check. Well as a result all 50 states that need national background checks completed by the FBI are being put on hold for the higher priority of the U.S Census workers.

At a time when our economy is at it’s lowest, employers have decided to start including a new criteria when deciding who to hire for their companies. Want to know what it is?, well ts your FICO score yep if you haven’t been a good steward of your money, you may have a harder time making any. In a AP survey of companies who use this new criteria 60% of the companies include the applicants credit score as a validity to the person’s character.
Do you think people change and should be penalized and not given job oppurtunities because of poor money management skills? What do you think leave a comment below.
