My question is that we are a not for profit organisation, if we require this for

Yes, in this situation one would indeed be able to write this expense off.

Normally I try to stay out of  threads that have the potential of spiraling out of control, as this one indeed has, but this is a subject that as a parent and former law enforcement officer, strikes close to home.  I have seen too many responses complaining of the potential cost involved and the inconvenience that the suggested....yes at this point "suggested "course of action would cause.......My question to all is, if these proposed measures save even one child......is it still too expensive or inconvenient?
