[Lady Rhiannon of Berra]

Anything that keeps predators at bey is a wonderful thing.  Our children
need our protection.  Period.  If a background check helps with that, then
go for it.  The Kingdom can open the coffers or raise money for something as
important as this.  We were able to raise money for the beautiful regalia, I
see no reason why we can't all dig just a tiny bit deeper to help protect
our future.

I realize that background checks only show those who have offended in the
past; and vigilence is the absolute best answer, but any level of protection
more than we have is good.  We run the risk of scarring someone for life
because we don't want to "make waves" and get someone arrested if need be.
In this case, waves should be made.

I don't have children, but I know people who do, and I'd be willing to
contribute.
