I was researching online trying to find a link on the internet a daycare number for a daycare i have to go and observe next week for my course i am taking. I came across a link that titled; Saskatchewan man-convicted of molesting children --was applying for jobs in daycare centres in ONTARIO. How do you feel about knowing /not knowing who the right staff are IF you had your child in a daycare center. If/when i do have my children, i'll stay home with my children until they are ready to be schooled.
Well, if I could afford it, or was still with my sons mom, I would not have him in daycare, but as of right now I have no other choice. I already have to commute and hour each way from the city to get to work, and the daycare is down the street. But on the other hand, I know all of the staff pretty well, in fact they are all young girls and 3 of them hit on me everyday now that I told one I was single :tongue:
on a serious note hre relayer...i understand your single father but staff changes frequently due to certain circumstances... How would you feel if something happened .. I would certainly freak out mind you worse Take his ass to court get his ass in jail for life. no means of an adult should take a typical child at risk esp day care child they are just learning . i shoudn't say "just". its a 2 way street . We learn from them just as much as they learn from us. Anyways see ya around. PG
what i'm trying to say is period is how are we as parents (i'm a step parent) how are we to trust ) daycares schools etc???
I know I was just trying to be funny (even though its true! And they are cute girls let me tell you ) But I know what you mean, sometimes I worry like the girls might smack or yell at my son for no reason, and I am left feeling uncomfortable about it, but I really have no choice, shit I dont even get help from friends when I need it at home! I have him 3 1/2 days a week like his mom, but she has more help then she knows what to do with :tongue:
i know someone who fled BC who was a child pornographic movie taking SOB never had a friggin CRC nothing till his Landlords son who had permission to check his PC went to do a check scan disk and found pornographic pics of his own lil sister with this 40 yr old dude .. Imagine finding your baby sister 5,6,7,8 years old 4 years sheltered not saying a word. Than her older bro finding the pictures. That bastard is only locked up 4 yrs.
i would imagine it's against the law for a sex offender to work in a day care. that said, i trust nearly no one with my kids, ever. not until they are old enough to defend them. i educate them about what proper interaction between child and adult is and I empower them how to get out of a nasty situation. They are still young yet that I am rarely ever without them.
because teachers basically have a camera faced at them in and out of the school. There are many background checks and drug tests. I'm an education major and you need to have both your child abuse and criminal background checks in order to remain an education major. Yes, there are bad people in the world, but there are also good people too. Not everyone can stay at home with their kids. When you have kids you have to expect other people will be around them. Children need to be around people. Just be smart and do your research. Do background checks on both the people and the school/day care.
As stated he was sask but fled to Ontario. So there would be no CR. But i am just stating that you would never know if ppl would be or wouldn't be. Scary. But yes i work with kids too and i had to have all the testing done as well. Peace PG
Its not just daycare and school teachers, its girl scout leaders, your kids bestfriends' parents. At some point you really just have to be able to trust that the person who is going to be taking care of your kid won't hurt them. If you had to check out every person your child had contact with, you'd probably make your child be very uneasy around people.
In Australia you can't work in any position involving children unless you go through a background check which includes interstate and even overseas. This however doesn't deal with first time offenders. As mudflower said it is just as likely to be someone you know and so there is not a surefire way of protecting them from this, you can teach them safety first things that might help them deal with a bad situation, however I think that at some point you have to accept that in life there are going to be situatuions that you have no control over and not live your life in fear because if you do that you are giving power to those bad people and I say fight back by taking the power away from them by living a strong life doing what you want to do not what your fears dictate.

But, as a parent, this is what you have to do. I have to ask, why wouldn't you? Your children are the most important thing in your life. Checking out the people who are going to be around them is not that much to ask. No IMO, anyway. You can do it without your child knowing. How would this make them feel "uneasy" if they didn't even know? I was assaulted as a child, lemme tell you, it made me a hella more "uneasy" than if my there had been the ability to check and my parents had actually done it.
