They can?
I cannot imagine how - I get to a game site, I go to a private locker room, I change, I officiate the game, I return to a private locker room.
When do I ever have access to kids alone?
This is a solution without a problem, and considering it is a solution that
A. Costs money
B. Takes time
C. Is prone to error, and
D. Most importantly is a blatant violation of basic privacy rights
it is utterly ridiculous.
We do background checks where I officiate, and I have nothing to hide. I am not willing to take a stand on principle in this case, but it does bother me. I don't like the idea of someone poking around in my private life without very good reason, and the fevered imagination of some busy body who thinks officials have any access to children is not a good reason.
I want statistics. I want verifiable, objective data defining the scope of the problem this "solution" is fixing.
Anyone have any?
