Seems to me the OP is really asking how do we as a society, and parents protect our kids from predators. The suggestion is Background checks.
The reality is that more legislation would not have prevented most problems in the past. Do churches do background checks? Maybe they should. Where are your kids safe?
As a father, my thought is that we do our best to make sure the activities, people and places our children spend time have a good track record. Is this fool proof... no.
I'm sure many will disagree, but I think that our government is NOT going to protect my kid from much of anything. He is, or will be exposed to Drugs, Language, Alcohol, and maybe even encouraged by peers towards criminal behavior. My job is to have raised him so he fly's straight, knows right and wrong, and makes good choices.
