That's a reason why a lot of areas are going to background checks for almost any adult, coach,umpire, score keeper, to be able to do games.
Many areas, like mine, can't afford to have umpires blackballed lest they have to start having lotteries before gamed to see who gets pulled out of the stands to do games...that's almost how I got started doing basketball games.
